Private Life:
After being linked to Nick Jonas, Gomez started dating fellow teen phenomenon Justin Bieber in 2011. Their relationship was very public. Despite a few reunions in 2013 and 2017–2018, the couple—who dated for more than two years—remains apart. Early in 2015, Gomez switched to EDM DJ Zedd, but the two parted ways in April of that year. She and The Weeknd were seen holding hands during a date night in January 2017, which led to the relationship’s official confirmation. Selena announced on September 14, 2017, on Instagram that she underwent a kidney transplant over the summer as a result of difficulties with her lupus. Sel underwent emergency surgery after slipping into kidney failure at The Weeknd’s concert in Chicago, and Francia Raisa, her best friend, gave her kidney to help Sel. Her boyfriend changed the dates of his tour to accommodate her operation, but they broke up in 2017 not long after Selena was seen with Justin Bieber.
