It’s true that Selena Gomez quit playing with her friend and donated her kidney, the shocking details were revealed

Selena Gomez and actress Francia Raisa – who donated a kidney to Selena, were once rumored to have time off. Until recently, Francia Raisa spoke up to confirm the incident and at the same time, revealed another surprising story.

Sharing on USA Today on December 28, actress Francia Raisa said that before reconciling this year, she and Selena had gone through 6 years of coldness and the worst was last year: “We didn’t talk much. for 6 years. Especially last year, we didn’t talk to each other at all,” Francia Raisa said.

The How I Met Your Father actress said that it wasn’t until this summer that they got back in touch: “I don’t know why things happened that way, but in June when I was in St. Tropez, I didn’t stop thinking about her… I don’t know why the universe decided this time. After that, she proactively connected with me.”

In July, Selena posted a photo wishing Francia Raisa a happy 35th birthday on Instagram, expressing her deep affection for her old friend. That was the moment the two girls decided to reconcile. A month later, Selena and Francia went out to dinner together for the first time in years in Santa Monica, California. That night, they posted photos of their outing on Instagram and affirmed that there was no conflict, only friendship.

Francia Raisa affirmed in the interview: “We never really hated each other. Nothing terrible ever happened. We don’t know why but maybe we both needed time apart. After that, When we come back to play together, we are both better.”

I’ve never owed anyone as much as Francia. The thought of someone not thinking for a second to donate a kidney is truly unimaginable,” Selena Gomez shared on the show. Dear Apple TV .

On the Good Guys podcast , Francia also denied rumors that she was forced to donate her kidney. “In my heart, I knew I was the right person. I knew it would happen. No one forced me to do anything.
