Gomez's parents met in 1977 in Lodi, California. According to Gomez, “They were together for two months, and then he said, 'I'm moving to Seattle.' When I was born, my mom said that she did not have the chance to tell him that, 'I was pregnant' and that, you know, he was going to have a little girl,” she said.
