So today we're talking about the 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,880 weekend and Selena Gomez, and it's a pretty short relationship 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,200 but I wanted to cover them. Why must? 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,920 Well, for I feel like the weekend is kind of mysterious 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,280 and I wanted to, you know, learn a little bit more about him and 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,640 talk about him. But also obviously, a very well 15 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,400 requested episode is Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. 16 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,480 And I didn't really quite feel ready for that episode yet. 17 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,040 It's just so daunting. Yeah, a big one. 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,960 And it seems like there's so much toxicity and back and 19 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:19,000 forth. And I wanted to kind of dip my 20 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,280 toes in to that story. And I think this is a piece of 21 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,520 that puzzle. Selena Gomez in the weekend. 22 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:30,760 So this was a way to to kind of start that story. 23 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,120 Yeah. So interesting the weekend. 24 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,520 He definitely is on the soundtrack of my college years 25 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,080 and he's a huge star, but I honestly don't know like much 26 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,480 about his personal life so I'm intrigued. 27 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,400 Yeah, and this was a short relationship. 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080 As I said, it was 10 months. I feel like people kind of 29 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,040 forget about it, but it has all the elements of an interesting 30 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,440 story for the couples that we've covered, you know, exes and 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,280 getting with your friends. Ex. 32 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,600 And. The issues that that can cause. 33 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Modern. Day story too, like I'm gonna 34 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,200 bring up Instagram a lot and which is yeah, expected cause 35 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,640 Selena Gomez was at this time I think the most followed person 36 00:02:14,640 --> 00:02:17,000 on Instagram. Do you know who is now? 37 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,600 Is she no longer? I don't think it is. 38 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200 Let me see. I think it's an athlete, yeah. 39 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,640 Cristiano Ronaldo is the most followed person. 40 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:26,600 Interesting. Let. 41 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,080 Me see the top list and then oh and then Lionel Messi is right 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:38,040 after him and then Selena Gomez's third wow, she has 43 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680 staying power that Selena still. Has that title. 44 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,120 I know who's 4th? Kylie Jenner. 45 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,760 OK, who's 5th? Dwayne Johnson and then Ariana 46 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,800 Grande and then Kim Kardashian. Then Beyoncé and then Khloe 47 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960 Kardashian. Wow. 48 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,640 Then Justin Bieber you. Don't follow any of those 49 00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:01,880 people. I know then Kendall Jenner. 50 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,880 Wow, this family, that Kardashian family and then 51 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,200 Taylor Swift. Wow, I'm surprised Taylor Swift 52 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,400 is so low. I know that is shocking, but 53 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,440 yeah, first of all, three words that I would use just for this 54 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,160 couple. What 3 words would? 55 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,240 You use? I actually forgot to write it 56 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,840 down, but I would say Whirlwind. Whirlwind. 57 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,080 Okay. Quick kind of the. 58 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,400 Same thing. Yeah, and I guess confusing. 59 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,400 Confusing with the. Confusing word. 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Okay, wind quick and confusing. It seemed like they were burning 61 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,160 brighter and brighter and then it quickly dissolved. 62 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,280 Bad. But who is Selena? 63 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,400 She was born in Grand Prairie, TX to teen parents. 64 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,280 At just 16 years old. Her parents gave birth to her 65 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520 and when she was five years old they later divorced. 66 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,200 And very much a rags to Rich's story. 67 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,360 Her mother often struggled to provide for Selena when she was 68 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,080 really young. I have to imagine, like, you 69 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,400 know, the stories that you hear with these celebrities is like, 70 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920 oh, and I was always getting up and performing for the family. 71 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,400 And I wanted to, you know, I, I just had like, so much spunk 72 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240 compared to other kids. So they had to put me in acting 73 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,320 like, OK, sure, but that's a lot of kids. 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,040 I think she partially was put into acting and modeling because 75 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,120 her mom didn't have a lot of money. 76 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,720 And that was a source of income for her family. 77 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,800 At 7 years old she started doing like commercials and going to 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,200 auditions and then at 10 she was cast in Barney and Friends as a 79 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,680 regular in Texas. And then she had really small 80 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,880 roles and other things like Spy Kids 3D and Walker, Texas 81 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,080 Ranger. Demi Lovato was on Barney too, 82 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,240 right? Yes, yeah. 83 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,000 And that's how they became friends. 84 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,000 And then in 2006, she entered the Disney Channel scene when 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,400 she guest starred on The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. 86 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,560 And then that led her to guest star on Hannah Montana. 87 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,280 And, and that led her to get the leading role of Alex Russo on 88 00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:11,720 Wizards of Waverly Place. And while she was on Disney, she 89 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,000 was in a love triangle with Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus. 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,000 Like Miley, she also dated Nick off and on. 91 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,920 And you can hear a little bit more about that in our Miley and 92 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,680 Nick episode. Kind of crazy that this is like 93 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,160 the second episode in a while that I'm plugging that one. 94 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,040 But that might. Be. 95 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,160 Mel loves Disney. Yeah, or Disney Channel. 96 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,280 Hey, I mean, it's the time period in which I grew up in, 97 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,200 yeah. True. 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,400 And like all Disney stars, of course, she had a music career 99 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,920 starting with her band Selena Gomez in the scene. 100 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,160 I'm curious where the scene is now all. 101 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,840 Right, I will have to stop the episode right there. 102 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,600 Thank you so much for listening to the teaser. 103 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,640 If you want to hear the full episode and many other bonus 104 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,040 episodes, you can find them on Patreon. 105 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,800 You can search significant lovers on the website or 106 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,040 download the Patreon app. It works a lot like peculiar 107 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,560 podcast listening apps, and we have tons of other couples on 108 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,160 Patreon to listen to.
