The two met after Gomez’s stepfather Brian Teefey discovered Grimmie, 22, on YouTube and later served as her longtime manager.

“I’m so blessed that they’re in my life,” Grimmie said of Gomez and her family in an interview with Seventeen in 2011. “They’re literally like a family – Selena has been so encouraging ever since we got hooked up. It’s crazy! It’s very much a fairy tale.”

Teefey echoed similar sentiments following news of the singer’s death.

“Words cannot begin to describe the pain I am feeling,” he told PEOPLE in a statement on Saturday. “I learned this business through the eyes of a father and Christina was like a second daughter to me.”
