Selena Gomez's little sister, Gracie Teefey, is officially a pre-teen!
The "Lose You To Love Me" songstress shone a bright spotlight on the 12-year-old in a sweet birthday series shared on Instagram on Thursday (June 11).
"Happy birthday to my baby sissy. As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I’m always on your side. No matter what. I love you, baby girl," the caption read beside photos of Gomez supporting Teefey over the years.
The sentimental carousel includes snaps of Gomez holding her younger sister's hand, sleepovers, dinner dates, movie nights, premieres, vacations, selfies, and FaceTime calls.
Despite their 20-year age gap, the sisters remain extremely close. Gracie is so involved in Gomez's life (and vice versa) that she calls the star's bestie, Taylor Swift, "Auntie Taylor."
According to E!News, the Rare icon shared a video of the 12-year-old watching Swift's "The Man" music video to her Instagram Story, quipping, "When she loves auntie Taylor more than me."
Swift and the "Calm Down" hitmaker have been friends for years and continue to support each other's careers. The "Karma" standout broke months of social media silence in March to draw attention to Gomez's latest album, I Said I Love You First. In 2023, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum shared a series of snaps of her and Swift, referring to the "Karma" singer as her best friend.
