Where Does Not Matter, But Selena Gomez Chose To Live With Her Grandparents
Selena Gomez moved into her Encino mansion with her grandparents and enjoys living with them
Selena Gomez moved into her custom-built Encino mansion in 2020. The gorgeous new mansion in Los Angeles, California, was once owned by legendary singer Tom Petty. It was built by the singer and his wife Jane Benyo in 1989.
The actress-singer dropped $4.9 million for the 11,000 square feet home with six bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. Home features include an in-home recording studio, a gym, a massage room, a wine cellar, and a gorgeous pool outside.
Selena Gomez does not live in the mansion alone. She has her two housemates — her grandparents, who moved in along with her. They were quarantined with her during the lockdown at her former Studio City home, and they went along when she made the big move.
While promoting a new season of Selena + Chef on the Food Network, the "Lose You to Love Me" singer shared a tidbit about her living situation.
When asked a question about what she would be eating on a random Tuesday night, Selena Gomez responded: "I'm definitely eating something my nana made probably the night before." Then she drops, "I live with my grandparents, so we are always in the kitchen, always cooking, and we have leftovers. I'm pretty sure I won't be ordering in; it's got to be something from home."
It’s cute that Selena Gomez has her grandparents living with her and still does mundane things, like cooking with them, something she said she enjoyed while growing up.
It’s lovely to see Gomez keep the tradition. And what better way than to have her grandparents living with her, so they can share the kitchen and enjoy leftovers at any time?
Selena Gomez Was So Traumatized That She Fears Her Own Bedroom
Selena Gomez has courageously dealt with a lot of struggles but they have left a mark on her that affects how she feels about her bedroom.
Selena Gomez Has A Grand Property Portfolio Worth Millions Of Dollars
Selena Gomez's portfolio includes houses in California, Texas, and New York City
Selena Gomez is said to have a net worth estimated at $800 million. She has steadily built her career for over two decades, from her Barney and Friends days to Wizards of Waverly Place, to her singing career, to being a successful producer of both television and movies.
Naturally, having that sizable net worth means she would splurge on properties, and her portfolio is no less than expected.
Besides her Encino mansion in Los Angeles, Selena Gomez has an outrageous real estate portfolio of over $10 million. Gomez was attached to three other properties in L.A. besides her Encino mansion; a traditional-style house in Tarzana, California at $2.175 million; a Mediterranean-style mansion in Calabasas, California at $3.69 million; a single-story bungalow in Studio City, California at $2.25 million.
The traditional-style house in Tarzana was Gomez's first house she bought at the cost of $2.175 million. The house was described as a starter home for Gomez, with a high-ceiling entryway, a great room, a card room, a media room, and a swimming pool and spa, accessible through sets of French doors. It also had a yoga pavilion, a cabana bar, and a separate guestroom. Selena Gomez remodeled and expanded the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home shortly after she purchased it.
Her Mediterranean-style mansion was bigger, with the main house featuring five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and five fireplaces (one in the main bedroom). The mansion also boasted a gym, a movie theater, and an impressive underground wine cellar.
Selena Gomez bought a massive mansion in her hometown, Grand Prairie, Texas. The English-style home has a living room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, an eight-seat movie theater with a candy bar, and a saltwater swimming pool with a waterslide.
Selena Gomez’s Relationship With Her Dad Is Complicated And Confusing, Here's The Truth About It
Selena Gomez may have conquered the world of fame and success, but her relationship with her father left her emotionally stranded.
In 2017, Gomez bought a sweet single-story bungalow in California's Studio City. The 3-year-188-square-foot house was built in 1951, featuring four beds and four bathrooms, a library, two spacious walk-in closets in the main bedroom.
The property also boasts a swimming pool, a built-in barbecue area, and lots of fruit trees and vegetable beds. She lived in the Studio City home before moving to the Encino mansion.
In her Apple TV+ documentary, Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, Selena Gomez revealed she moved to New York City, where she kept a low profile. She said: "I am so happy and lovely here in New York. I love living with the older generation, so I’m on the Upper East Side. It’s very nice for that. I’m currently in a little cave and it’s so lovely and private."
Selena Gomez Lives With Her Grandparents Because Of Her Fond Childhood
Living with her grandparents may be a way of Selena Gomez preserving her childhood memories in Texas
Selena Gomez grew up living with her grandparents while her parents worked, finished school, and later divorced. She spent most of her time with them before finding stardom in the entertainment industry.
While Gomez kept a busy life, she still maintained her close and grounded relationship with her grandparents, and in the long run, it paid off. Her grandparents were part of her support system during her turbulent years, with Selena Gomez’s grandparents giving an exclusive interview about the troubled actress’ childhood.
Selena Gomez choosing to live with her grandparents may also be a way of protecting her mental health. Selena Gomez has had challenges with her mental health since her lupus diagnosis back in 2013, and keeping her family close may be a way of trying to maintain her sanity.
Her life in Texas has always been one of the happiest moments for the Only Murders in the Building star, and Gomez often goes back to her old home in Texas once in a while to relive fun childhood memories. So it makes sense to want to replicate it with her grandparents close and always cooking and laughing.
With Selena Gomez dating Benny Blanco, it would be a heartwarming moment when she brings him home. He knows he is literally meeting the family.
Having family around is important to Gomez, so choosing to live with her grandparents is not surprising because she gets to care for the people who cared for her at a young age.
