We just dug up some wildly interesting things happening in Selena Gomez‘s life right now. Stick around for 10 of the latest juicy and interesting bombshells about Selena!
First, Selena’s interaction with Diddy was bizarre because he thought she was a valet driver.
Selena crossed paths with Diddy one weird night while she was dating Justin Bieber. She spoke about it candidly in a 2016 interview with GQ.
At the time, Diddy referred to her as if she was a valet driver because he somehow didn’t recognize who she was. She laughed it off and said, “I don’t care. I actually laughed hysterically when it happened.”
As a reminder, Justin spent some uncomfortable time with Diddy as his mentor back in the day, but the nitty-gritty details of all that have not been exposed.
Second, Selena thinks it’s distasteful to brag about her billionaire status.
Selena is a billionaire worth 1.3 billion dollars today. She told Entertainment Tonight, “I’m very grateful. I personally think it’s distasteful to talk about money, but I really am giving all the credit to people who buy the products. They’re the ones that made this dream of mine come true, so I’m really, really honored and just happy.”
Her wealth has been accrued thanks to her career as an actress, musician, and makeup mogul. Rare Beauty has been on the up and up since it first launched!
Selena’s billionaire status might not be something she’s willing to brag about, but she’s now on the same financial level of other famous billionaires like Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Taylor Swift.
Third, Selena was filmed grinding on Edgar Ramírez even though she’s dating Benny Blanco.
Fans started questioning if Selena and Benny broke up after seeing that edgy video. But the truth of the matter is that Selena and Benny are still together and going strong.
Other fans are convinced it was merely a form of promotion for their new movie Emilia Perez. Selena also friend-zoned Edgar in a comment writing, “Omg how dare I dance with my bestie.”
So, who is Edgar anyway? He’s an actor from movies like Hands of Stone, Yes Day, and Point Break. He’s also 47 years old as of this publication, which means he’s probably a little too old for Selena anyway. Her boyfriends have all historically been close in age.
Fourth, Benny Blanco is publicly flirting with Selena on the gram.
Selena shared a sultry video of herself dancing at a Sabrina Carpenter concert, and Benny left a flirty comment for the world to see. In honor of Selena’s 2015 song, Benny wrote, “Can’t keep my hands to myself.”
Anyone who might’ve thought they were over and done with is totally wrong! As a reminder, Selena and Benny went public with their relationship in December 2023. They’ve both spoken highly of each other in multiple interviews. They’ve also hinted at their desire to end up together in marriage at some point.
Fifth, Selena made her dad proud by speaking Spanish in her new movie.
Selena’s role in Emilia Perez has fans feeling more hyped and excited than ever. She told Extra, “It meant the world to me that [director Jacques Audiard] trusted me with that and it meant a lot to my family. I had coaches, yes, and we communicated every day in Spanish, but, yeah, my dad was even so proud.”
Selena has previously admitted that her Spanish-speaking skills grew weaker after she started taking on English-speaking roles in the entertainment industry. Now, her Spanish is strengthening back up!
Sixth, fans have high hopes for Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
Wizards of Waverly Place ended in 2012 after running for four seasons starting in 2007. Selena played Alex Russo and made Disney Channel viewers fall in love with the concept of the show. That’s part of why so many people are impatiently waiting for the reboot to land on TV.
One social media user wrote, “As someone who grew up watching Wizards of Waverly Place, I definitely plan to check out the new one.”
Another added, “Honestly, I was a little skeptical, but it looks pretty good. I loved the original, I’ll have to check this out.”
A third fan wrote, “The OG show was pretty well received, and I think stood out on the Disney schedule due to the ‘magic’ aspect and strong writing for Disney Channel across the first few seasons. It also developed its own mythology and had a good deal of serialized elements, which I think kept kids invested and coming back.”
Seventh, Selena is predicted to pull in an Oscar nomination.
Do you think Selena deserves to win an Oscar? According to Forbes, there are predictions that she could be nominated as a contender for her work in Emilia Perez. According to Forbes, other stars who could get nominated include Lady Gaga for her work in Joker: Folie à Deux and Ariana Grande for her work in Wicked.
Selena is already an award-winning star, by the way. She’s won the People’s Choice Award for the Female TV Star of the Year, the Billboard Music Award for Woman of the Year, and the Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Series Comedy or Musical, just to name a few.
Eighth, this week’s episode of Only Murders in the Building just shook up its traditional energy.
Most episodes of Selena’s hit mystery show usually follow the same formula in different creative ways. This week’s episode went off the rails instead. It abandoned the usual directing style for a more documentary-style approach. Are you stoked to see what’s next for Selena this season of Only Murders? This show has been incredible for Selena’s notoriety as an actress, by the way. The fact that she stars in the show alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short is just another reason the show is generationally beloved.
Ninth, Rare Beauty’s latest partnership is a vibe for makeup lovers everywhere.
Selena shared a lengthy Instagram caption to update her fans and followers about her cosmetic line. She wrote, “It’s happening again. I couldn’t be more grateful to share @sephora is partnering with @rarebeauty to donate 100% of Rare Beauty global sales to the Rare Impact Fund on World Mental Health Day, October 10th.”
The fact that Selena gets to kill two birds with one stone by selling awesome makeup and funding her Rare Impact organization is one of the coolest things ever.
Tenth, Zoe Saldana loved working on set with Selena.
Zoe filmed Emilia Perez with Selena, and she has nothing but great things to say about Selena and her other co-stars. According to People, she said the cast has “so much love” for each other.
She went on to say, “There’s so much respect. We’re rooting for each other. We’re happy for each other. We’re fixing each other’s makeup and wardrobes.”
Selena and Zoe as real-life besties?! We’re here for it!
