Selena Gomez Says She Visits Her Childhood Home "Every Chance I Get"

Selena Gomez revisited her childhood home recently and shared a thoughtful post to Instagram reflecting on where she’s been and how far she’s come since then. “The home I grew up in, from birth to 13... (no one was home when I knocked this time lol),” she captioned the photo of herself perched on the front stoop. “I visit this place every chance I get. In many ways it very well could have been better than my life today, but I’m grateful for a voice that can enable change today. Even when I don’t know how to do it well or actually want it. I love you Grand Prairie. Thank you. ❤️”

Gomez was born and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas, but made the move to Los Angeles when she was in her early teens after she landed the lead role of Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place. She currently resides in a $2.5 million ranch house in Studio City, California, that features three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms in the main house, with an additional bedroom and bathroom in a separate space that could be converted into a studio or guesthouse. The singer snapped up the 3,188-square-foot home last May after selling her Fort Worth, Texas, mansion in February of the same year. (The 10,000-square-foot home was listed for $3 million and featured 1.5 acres of extravagance, including a saltwater pool, a putting green, an outdoor kitchen and cabana, and a tennis and basketball court.)
