We know Selena Gomez as an amazing actress, singer, style icon, designer, friend, and girlfriend — but it seems we also need to add “incredible big sister” to her list of many talents.
Last night, the singer shared an Instagram video with her 4-year-old sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey. The two are sitting by the ocean deep in conversation when Gracie says, “I’m not scared.” Selena responds by saying, “Because you are fearless, right? You’re not scared of anything, right?” Then the two share a high five.
Selena captioned her video with this sweet message: “I will forever let my sister know she is strong, bold, and beautiful. She will be raised to know her voice matters. She is going to understand the importance behind being a leader and inspire others by her truth.”
Selena certainly knows a thing or two about being fearless and inspiring people with her honesty. The ‘Bad liar’ singer underwent a recent kidney transplant and chemotherapy a few years ago to aid her ongoing battle with Lupus. She’s also a big mental health advocate and takes her job as a role model for millions of young girls seriously.
And though Gracie might be the only one lucky enough to get to call Selena Gomez her big sister, we can all take Sel’s advice to heart — especially considering the thousands of women, in Hollywood and beyond, who have been coming forward this week with their stories of sexual harassment and assault.
