According to the source, Selena Gomez has the unwavering support of her friends and family during this time.
Selena Gomez recently faced complications related to her kidney transplant, which led to her hospitalization. Her primary focus now is on regaining her health.
Selena Gomez, who boasts over 144 million followers on Instagram, announced her decision to take a break from social media. In an Instagram post, she expressed her gratitude for the platform's ability to give people a voice but also her equal appreciation for stepping back and living in the present moment.
She emphasized the importance of kindness and encouragement, reminding everyone that negative comments can have a harmful impact on others' feelings.
In the past, Gomez has been open about her health challenges. In 2015, she revealed to Billboard that she had been dealing with lupus, which had led to her taking a break from the public eye. She said, "I was diagnosed with lupus and underwent chemotherapy.
That's what my break was really about. I could have had a stroke." Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, blood, and lungs. It often leads to symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, rashes, and more.
In 2016, the singer decided to take time off to address the anxiety, panic attacks, and depression that can accompany lupus. She expressed her proactive approach to focusing on her health and happiness by taking the necessary time for herself. During that year's American Music Awards, she used her platform to discuss the mental health challenges she had faced. She inspired others by saying, "If you are broken, you don't have to stay broken."
In a significant moment, Gomez received a kidney transplant, with her close friend and actress Francia Raisa as the donor. She emphasized the importance of the transplant for her overall health and thanked Raisa for her selfless gift and sacrifice. Their enduring friendship and bond are evident in the Instagram post where they are seen holding hands in their hospital beds, expressing immense gratitude and love.
