The Evolution Of Selena Gomez And Francia Raisa’s Friendship
The actress spills the beans at the American Heart Association‘s ‘Go Red for Women’ event on Jan. 31, revealing, “Our support for one another just means everything.” Francia emphasizes the sisterhood she and Selena share, distinguishing their friendship from the typical Hollywood entanglements. Despite occasional silences, their bond is seamless, akin to that of siblings. Plus every relationship has its “ups and downs,” says Raisa, “She calls me, we catch up, and we do our thing.”
“One of the best friendships…go a year without talking, and when you see each other again, it’s like you never went a day without talking,” gushes Raisa, painting a vivid picture of their bond.
As Francia reflects on their journey, she embraces the evolution of their friendship. “Changes brought us to a healthier place…if it was closer, I would feel like it was fake, and I don’t mess with that,”.
In a conversation with USA Today in December she said, “We hadn’t spoken much in six years. Especially the last year, we didn’t speak at all.” She continued, “We’ve never really had beef with each other…we needed that time apart. When you come back together, you’re better people”.
