Selena Gomez’s mom, Mandy Teefey, is happy about their great relationship this holiday season. On Thursday, Teefey, who is 47, shared some nice pictures on Instagram.

They show her and Selena spending special moments together over the years, just before Thanksgiving.

In one photo, Teefey is holding baby Selena. She wrote, “Where we are today is incredible. We went through a lot to get here, and most importantly, we still put family first.”

Teefey explained that she didn’t just share these pictures for the holiday. She mentioned, “The last picture is me carrying Gracie, who was born a few days later. Gracie montage next!!!

Selena was born in 1992, and she often talks about how much her mom influenced her while growing up. Teefey and her husband Brian Teefey had Gracie in 2013 after getting married in 2006.

Mandy told ET in 2017, “I was a teen mom with Selena, obviously, and was very judged by that.” She explained that living in a tough neighborhood made her want to change her life when she became a mom. “I’m not going to let her have the upbringing I did.”

Selena has also talked about her mom’s sacrifices. She said, “When I started working, my mom was the person in my life that helped guide me through most of that. Everything that I am has kind of become a little bit of what my mom has gone through.”

In an interview with Time, Selena expressed her gratitude for her mother, saying, “She had the ability to make me feel like I was still capable of doing anything I wanted.”
