What year was Selena Gomez born?

Selena Gomez was born in 1992. She was born Selena Marie Gomez on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas, a city in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Gomez began performing as a child, appearing on “Barney & Friends” before becoming widely known as Alex Russo on the Disney Channel sitcom “Wizards of Waverly Place.” The series ran from 2007 to 2012 and established her as a major teen star.
