Francia Raisa is sharing the heartwarming scoop about reconnecting with her pal Selena Gomez, and it’s all good vibes now!
The 35-year-old How I Met Your Father star and the 31-year-old entertainer had a bit of a rough patch years ago but found their way back to each other in the summer of 2023.
In a chat with USA Today, Francia spilled the beans about how their friendship got a second chance. “It’s wild how people were so invested in our friendship,” she mused. “The timing of it all was just strange. I remember being in St. Tropez in June and constantly bringing her up. We hadn’t really talked in six whole years, especially not in that last year.”
Things started shifting when Selena extended a sweet “Happy Birthday” message to Francia on Instagram in July, and Francia gave it a little ‘like’ back. A subtle nod, you know?
Then came the real turnaround. Francia cleared the air with the paparazzi, making it crystal that there was no beef between her and Selena. Next thing you know, a few weeks later, they were breaking bread together at dinner.
“I don’t know why the universe decided this timing,” Francia mused. “Then she reached out and said, ‘Let’s talk.’”
They both brushed off any notion of beef, citing that nothing truly went down. They just needed some time apart. Now that they’ve reconnected, they’re discovering each other all over again.
Oh, and let’s not forget the elephant in the room—the whole kidney donation scenario. Francia gave Selena a kidney, which made headlines, and people often asked if she regretted it. Her answer? A resounding no. She emphasized how their bond had always been there; they just had a little tiff.
Their “no beef” situation even inspired the catchy “No beef, just salsa” shirts. And guess what? Capitalizing on the salsa trend, Francia teamed up with La Victoria to launch her own homemade salsa, now available on Amazon thanks to the urging of none other than Hilary Duff. Talk about turning a situation around into something spicy!
