SELENA Gomez has left fans stunned and elated in equal measure after reuniting with her kidney donor Francia Raisa.
Back in 2017, the How I Met Your Father actress, 35, donated her kidney to Selena, 31, after the Calm Down singer’s organ had failed due to complications with Lupus.

Yet since then, the pair have locked horns in a “feud” which was said to be sparked two years after Selena’s surgery.
Now they appear to have papered over any cracks – with Selena sharing a selfie showing the pair snuggled up at a bowling alley.
The Lose You To Love Me hitmaker gave a nod to their disagreements, with both TV stars sporting matching black outfits emblazoned with the phrase: “No beef just salsa.”
In her Instagram caption, she told fans: “Exciting News coming Monday…” before repeating the phrase.
FAN SHOCK
Fans were quick to react to the teasing snap, with one bluntly writing: “Y’all didn’t.”
A second put: “Well if that’s not a public reconciliation idk what is.”
A third commented: “The most gorgeous girls are together. Love u both a lot,” while one added: “I love to see you together again.”
One then wrote: “So good to see my faves together again!”
Another then surmised the feeling of the majority as they surmized: “PUT ME DOWN AS A YES.”
LIFE-CHANGING
In September 2017, Selena shared a photo on Instagram of herself and Francia holding hands in the hospital post-operation.

The Hotel Transylvania actress captioned the post: “I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of.
She continued: “So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you.
“Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa.”
Selena concluded the post, writing: “She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis.”
NO LONGER SPEAKING
In 2019, Radar revealed that Selena and Francia were “no longer on speaking terms” due to the Spring Breakers actress drinking and partying which led to a rehab stint.
Reported in July of that year, an insider divulged that the pair “haven’t talked at all since October.”
Just months after undergoing the life-saving kidney transplant surgery Selena was spotted drinking alcohol at a Four Seasons in New York City.
Fans expressed growing concern for Selena and her decision to drink despite the risks it holds for someone diagnosed with Lupus.
According to a source, Francia was upset after “Selena did the exact opposite of what she said she was going to do when she got well again. She said she was not going to drink anymore, but she did.”
In her 2022 documentary, My Mind and Me, Selena detailed her health struggles but did not mention Francia, who was her kidney donor.
Also, in an interview with Rolling Stone in November 2022, Selena said Taylor Swift was her only celebrity friend in the industry.
Fans are hoping the “exciting” news is the start of a fresh chapter for the pair.
