There may be 20 years between them, but for Selena Gomez and her baby sister Gracie that means just more space to be filled up with love.
The 21-year-old pop star shared an adorable picture of her and her half-sister enjoying an outdoor play session on Wednesday.
While Gracie - who is Selena's mother Mandy and step-dad Brian Teefey's daughter - may only be nine-months-old she already knows her cute angles.
Leaning on her big sister, the baby pushed herself up and starred right down the camera's lens flashing it a big toothless grin.
Clearly a very proud big sister, the Come And Get It star giggled at the little girl and wrapped her arms around Gracie.
Selena - who was rugged up in a cream sweater and big brown scarf, was obviously home visiting her mother and step-father and having a little picnic in their very green backyard.
The quite day in the sun was very different to her previous evening, when the singer headed to the ultra exclusive members only club Soho House in West Hollywood, California.
While usually joined at the hip with her best friend Taylor Swift, Selena instead enjoyed a 'girls' night out,' as she dubbed it, with Zooey Deschanel and another friend.
The trio headed to the photobooth for a fun picture in which Selena posed playfully and looked relaxed.
While looking happy and carefree at the moment, People reports that it has been a tough time for the former Disney star, and those around her, of late.
In January, the Spring Breakers actress checked into rehab for a two week stint to 'clear her head' according to a source, but it is her on and off again relationship with Justin Bieber that has been causing angst.
While the pair first split in November 2012, they have reunited numerous times, and this month Justin complimented his former love on Instagram before they were spotted 'smooching over breakfast in Texas'.
Just a few days later, Justin posted a video of them dancing very close in a studio.
According to a source close to Selena, Justin cannot just left her go, telling People: 'It's a pattern, he does something to get her attention and lure her back.'
'He was her first love, and he totally treats her great - until he doesn't.
'He was head-over-heels in love with her from the beginning.'
While not happy about it, her family have now decided to let Selena realise on her own that the Baby singer is no good for her.
The source told the magazine: 'No one's really happy about it. But [her family] feels like they've done all they can and it's up to her. She has to figure it out on her own.'
