She may be in between boyfriends at the moment, but that hasn’t meant that Selena Gomez didn’t know a thing or two about finding love for those closest to her—like her own parents! Read on for more.
Though she was still young when her parents Mandy Teefey and Joel Gomez split up (back when she was only 5 years old), growing up Selena made it her mission to make sure they were able to find romance again with the right people.
In fact, she admitted to Entertainment Tonight recently that she was VERY opinionated when it came to their potential love interests. "I like to say that I have decent discernment," she said.
"But I come from a separated family, so I used to get very protective of my parents when they would date." So much so that she would “give them a little test.”

Clearly art has imitated life because the 25-year-old plays a young girl trying to find a love connection for her dad (played by Adam Sandler) in the upcoming sequel, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation.
And speaking of matchmaking, Selena’s bestie Taylor Swift has been working overtime to hook her pal up with a new man since she split from Justin Bieber earlier this year. Will the “Shake it Off” singer be as discerning as her pal?
What do you think about Selena being so discerning about her parents’ love lives? Do you think she’s approach her own romances (including Justin and The Weeknd) in the same way? Sound off in the comment section!
