Selena Gomez Baby Sister Gracie Giving Her Strength to Move on From Justin Bieber?
Selena Gomez is said to be leaning on family as she overcomes her latest split from Justin Bieber and a source claims her baby sister Gracie Elliot Teefy is the one giving her strength to move on.
The "Come & Get It" singer, 21, split with Bieber, 20, last month and since then she has kept a low profile and spent a lot of time with family. While Gomez is reportedly hurt that her relationship with Bieber has ended, a source claims her little sister is inspiring her to move forward in a mature and positive manner.
"Selena's biggest inspiration for getting over Justin and moving on has been her little sister Gracie," a source told HollywoodLife.com.
"Selena wants to be a role model for her. She wants to be a self empowered woman who takes care of herself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually," the insider explained.
The pair, who have dated on and off since 2011, split in June due to alleged trust issues and while Bieber appears to be moving on by dating other girls such as model Yovanna Ventura, Gomez wants to remain on her own until she has fully healed.
"She's not looking for another guy to fill any emptiness she may be feeling because of Justin," the source said. "She absolutely adores Gracie and that love is what keeps Selena strong and focused."
On Tuesday the former Disney star will celebrate her 22nd birthday with friends at a private estate in California and Bieber is reportedly not welcome, according to E! News.
Instead the "Confident" singer will reportedly be out enjoying paintball with friends in an attempt to keep his mind off of Gomez.
"He will be going paintballing on Tuesday (July 22) and Selena is not only not going, but she wasn't even invited," a source said.
"They are not doing well right now," the insider explained.
