Selena Gomez Reveals She’s Been ‘Laying Low’ Due To A Kidney Transplant

I know, I know. A celebrity post. But everyone’s talking about it, and it’s trending on social media, so it’s probably worth mentioning.

Selena Gomez has revealed why she’s been “laying low.” Apparently, she had a kidney transplant. (That’s a pretty good excuse for laying low.)

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. 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. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.

According to reports, her kidneys were already failing, and she has been on a wait list since May.

We’ve learned when Selena was in Chicago for The Weeknd’s concert back in May she was rushed to the hospital because of kidney failure. Abel was right by her side.
At that point Selena was already on a kidney transplant list.

This scary situation caused God to quickly became the most important thing in her life. (Health scares tend to put everything back in perspective.)

Our sources say God has become the most important thing in Selena’s life, and as scared as she was, she was resigned to the fact that her fate was in God’s hands.

Selena, we’re told, prayed a lot but also knew she had the power to heal herself by aggressively seeking a transplant. As we reported, Selena was on a kidney transplant list and ultimately received the life-saving organ from her best friend, Francia Raisa.

Now you know. That’s what Selena’s been dealing with.

With that, please enjoy one of her ridiculously catchy songs.
