She gushed to her fans about her excitement after welcoming her baby sister into the world earlier this month.
And it would seem that Selena Gomez has already formed a close sibling bond with adorable little Gracie Elliot Teefey.

Mandy - who divorced Selena's father, Ricardo Gomez, when her famous daughter was just five-years-old - got re-married in 2006, but was devastated when she tragically miscarried during her last pregnancy in December 2011.
At the time, doting Selena cancelled her scheduled concerts in Chicago and Seattle to fly home to be with her grieving mother.

Selena shares a special bond with her mother, who raised her as a working single parent in difficult circumstances after falling pregnant at the age of 16.
The star has previously said: 'I remember my mom would run out of gas all of the time and we’d sit there and have to go through the car and get quarters and help her get gas because she never liked to ask my grandparents for money.
'She was really strong around me. Having me at 16 had to have been a big responsibility. My mom gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me sacrificed her life for me.'
Happy family: Selena shares a close bond with both her mother, Mandy, and step-dad Brian Teefey
