Selena Gomez Says She Feels Like She Has “No Friends”… But That’s a GOOD Thing

Selena Gomez may seem like she leads a perfectly charmed life, with a wildly successful career and an adoring boyfriend in The Weeknd, but there’s one area the “Fetish” singer admits her existence is lacking in: friends.

As the 25-year-old revealed in a recent interview with Business of Fashion, she’s got plenty of acquaintances, but not many she’s close to. “I feel like I know everybody but have no friends,” she said.

But don’t feel TOO bad for the pop crooner: As she further explained, that’s not necessarily something she considers to be negative. In fact, she views it as a positive trait for her wellbeing. When asked the most important thing young people should know about mental health, the 13 Reasons Why executive producer said that surrounding yourself with those that respect and understand your mental state is key. “You are who you surround yourself with — 100 percent. If you’re around people who think that stuff is dumb, that think it’s ridiculous — ‘You’re crazy! You’re fine!’ — but you don’t feel that way, then maybe it’s time to re-evaluate that… But it is lonely, I had to lose a lot of people in my life to get there,” she explained.

She added that she now sees how heavily those around you can influence you, adding, “I have like, three good friends that I can tell everything to, but I know everyone. I go anywhere and I’m like, ‘Hey guys, how’s it going?’ And it feels great to be connected to people, but having boundaries is so important. You have to have those few people that respect you, want the best for you, and you want the best for them.”

But recognizing who really has her best interests in mind hasn’t always been easy. “When I was younger, it was all fun to me,” she said. “When I did state fairs and 100 people would show up, I would be stoked. That was the best feeling in the world. But when I got older, I started to become exposed to the truth behind some stuff and that’s when it flipped a little bit.”

We have to say, considering how happy the singer looks these days, it seems as if her inclination to keep her besties like Taylor Swift near and dear is working out just fine!

Do you have a lot of friends or just a few besties with plenty of acquaintances? Let us know @BritandCo!

Listen up, chefs: we thought Jeremy Allen White was officially off the market after months of dating the iconic Spanish pop star, Rosalía, but it looks like they're no longer an item! Jeremy was just spotted kissing one of this co-stars from The Bear, bringing their on-screen romance to real life.

Jeremy's on-screen romance turned IRL.

Photos of Jeremy and co-star Molly Gordon (who plays his love interest, Claire, in The Bear) obtained by People show things heating up between the two. The duo had their arms wrapped around each other as they embraced for a kiss. This is the first time we've seen them both linked romantically, and we're honestly shocked and left wondering what happened with Rosalía, who he was going steady with in fall 2023.

October 25, 2024: Jeremy Allen White & Molly Gordon Spark More Rumors

A month after Jeremy Allen White and Molly Gordon were seen locking lips in Los Angeles, Peoplesnagged more photos of the two as they enjoyed a nice walk in NYC. They look cozy in their casual fall outfits — complete with matching burgundy hats — and were all smiles. They've yet to confirm anything though, but they have all the makings of a budding romance that could be serious!

October 31, 2024: Jeremy Allen White & Molly Gordon Are Taking It Slow

And on Halloween, we learned just how much Jeremy and Molly are enjoying taking it slow with their relationship. "Jeremy and Molly have been seeing each other quietly for a few months and are happy together," a source told ET. “They are enjoying their relationship, but also trying to keep it private. They don’t like attention surrounding their personal lives and it has been an adjustment for Molly."⁠

Scroll on for a deeper look into all of Jeremy's recent romantic escapades!

Jeremy Allen White's Steamy Dating History

First, there were the Jeremy Allen White and Selena Gomez dating rumors.

An anonymous submission to DeuxMoi at the beginning of July 2023 set off speculation that the two A-listers were “in touch.” The tip noted that Selena and Jeremy had allegedly met at a Vanity Fair cover shoot and hit it off ever since.

The gossip was neither proved wrong *or* right, though in hindsight, it didn’t hold up too strongly. Not long after rumors began circulating, the Haim sisters posted on Instagram about "single summer," picturing Selena alongside a Taylor Swift-backed girl gang.

Then, a big PDA fest with Ashley Moore.

Things were steaming up on the streets of Los Angeles when Jeremy Allen White was spotted engaging in some serious PDA with model and actress, Ashley Moore in August 2023. How they met is a total mystery, but seeing them together via paparazzi pictures was jaw-dropping – especially considering Mr. White was seen with his estranged wife and kids the week prior. Yikes!

Next, Jeremy publicly thirsting over Alexa Demie.

He’s at it again! In August 2023, Jeremy Allen White scrolled past a video highlighting Alexa Demie’s new campaign with Calvin Klein and did what any fan would do – he left a comment (though minimal): “Wow.”

To publicly show his affection (or rather, attraction) via Instagram is a whole thing in itself. King.

In fall 2023, Jeremy Allen White and Rosalía were going steady.

“Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White have recently started dating,” a source told Us Weekly in November 2023. “They started out as just friends, but things have turned romantic recently.”

Alexa, play "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber!

The duo had been sighted side-by-side a few times. TMZ shared photos of them together at a late-October 2023 farmer's market and even sharing a smoke break in a parking lot. Romantic!

That budding romance came after what we call White’s hot boy summer – he was out and about on the streets of Los Angeles amidst his separation from actress Addison Timlin. Throughout their divorce, White was rumored to be involved with Selena Gomez, thirsting over Alexa Demi on Instagram, and was publicly spotted smooching Ashley Moore.

Despite all of this, Jeremy was spotted being friendly with his divorced ex.

In what TMZ was calling "the friendliest divorce ever," Jeremy Allen White and his now-ex Addison Timlin had been seen doing family activities together amid his romantic antics. The pair shares two young daughters, which is likely why they're still seeing each other from time to time. Where Jeremy's head is, we can't say for sure, but we do know he's out there acting young, wild, and free.

There is no one on this earth with a better heart...I’m 31 years old and I’m not a perfect person, but I am definitely deeply good, and I’m proud of who I’m becoming. I will never let disreputable evil tabloids ruin my life or my perception of what is real and good.”

October 30, 2024 — Ethan Slater Finally Speaks Out About His Relationship With Ariana Grande

Almost two years after meeting Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater finally opened up about their relationship in a new interview with GQ. “Obviously, it was a really super big year and I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public," he says. "There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard."

But the clouds also came with silver linings. “Of course, it was an amazing year and a really beautiful thing, and I’m just really excited," he continues. "I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done on this. She’s poured herself into it. I’m really proud that I got to be there for that part of it, and I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”

"The moments where somebody broke, it was always great. There's one that's seared into my memory of, in Doctor Dillamond's classroom, I don't remember what Ari said but she got Cynthia [Erivo] and it's just the two of them across the way and they're staring at each other and she got her so good. There's something really wonderful about breaking. It's delightful."

He also praised Ariana and Cynthia for how they welcomed the rest of the cast their first days on set. "[They] would hug everyone who came in," he continues. "This huge movie is something that we've been waiting for for 20 years on a big scale with the biggest stars in the world, it could have felt really intimidating and it felt really familial immediately."

As much as I love keeping up with celebrity relationships, I love keeping up with celebrity friendships just as much (if not more). Celebs like Riley Keough and Dakota Johnson, and Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, continually talk about how they're able to help each other through the ups and downs of fame because they're in it together. BFF's Taylor and Selena have been friends for over 15 years, and prove that the sweetest friendships can withstand anything. The love and support between the best friends is making us think back on all our favorite moments from the duo!

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were both connected to the JoBros in 2008 (the year both Fearless and Camp Rock came out, and the year after Wizards of Waverly Place premiered).

"We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together, it was hysterical," Selena said in a 2017 interview with KISS FM UK. "We just clicked...It was the best thing we got out of those relationships."

(I will add that, as listeners, we got songs like "Last Kiss" and "Mr. Perfectly Fine" out of the relationships, which definitely comes as a close second to this friendship.)

In my life, I have the ability to forgive people who have hurt me. But I don't know if I can forgive someone who hurts her."

"She has showed up for me in ways that I would have never expected," Selena says. "Flown in because I was hurt and was going through something. Stuff that was going on with my family. It's been proven year after year and in every moment of my life that she is one of my best friends in the world. We don't agree on everything, but we respect each other with everything."

The duo appear to be on the patio of a restaurant, and it totally makes me want to hang out with them, whether they're eating out or traveling the globe.

I love that I can be myself around my friends without worrying what they'll think — including being silly, wearing no makeup, and straight up kissing their faces — and I love that Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez can do the same!

Then they went to grab some pizza at Lucali in Brooklyn — can I get a slice?!

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift Exchange Whispers At The Golden Globes

Amy Sussman / Getty Images

The Golden Globe Awards was full of interesting moments, but nothing stood out quite like Selena making a beeline to Taylor's table to tell her something. Entertainment Tonight reports that the Only Murders in the Building star was seen whispering something in Taylor's ear that must've been juicy enough for her to visibly gasp. While no one knows for sure what they were talking about, it's clear that Taylor mouthed, "She what" to Selena Gomez.

One Xuser posted, "Oh I just know Selena Gomez was talking some *shit* with Taylor. She’s so me. Love them. #GoldenGlobes." Despite speculations that Kylie had an issue with boyfriend Timothée being near Selena, a source told People the latter, "...was absolutely not referencing anything about Timothée or Kylie."

Given their close-knit friendship, the world may never know what Taylor and Selena were whispering about...unless they want to tell us.

Selena Gomez Praises Taylor Swift In 'Vanity Fair' Cover Story

Cindy Ord/Getty Images

For Vanity Fair's October issue, Selena Gomez revealed Taylor Swift is only a phone call away when she needs her, offering industry advice or gossiping about Vanderpump Rules (just like the rest of us). “She is really like a big sister to me," Selena reveals.

2024 has had plenty of new music releases and concert tours to pick from, and Selena has been loving it! “I love female artists,” she says. “I’ve been to all the girls’ concerts—Billie, Dua….” Hopefully a Selena Gomez concert is in our future!

It's official: John Krasinski is now PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for 2024. If you ask us, John Krasinski will always be Jim from The Office, but I think this new distinction will do just fine, too. Last year Patrick Dempsey won the top spot, giving us silver fox sex appeal, and we love that PEOPLE went in a different direction with our favorite actor-director this time. Here's everything to know about this fine gentleman — including what his wife, Emily Blunt, has to say about it all.

Scroll to learn about PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for 2024!

John Krasinski shares his thoughts on being PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

No one knows how to do dead-pan humor like John Krasinski (unless your name is Ryan Reynolds, of course 😉). His response to winning was, "Just immediate blackout, actually. Zero thoughts," (via PEOPLE). He followed up with, "That's not how I wake up, thinking, ‘Is this the day that I'll be asked to be Sexiest Man Alive?’ And yet it was the day you guys did it. You guys have really raised the bar for me."

Of course Emily Blunt couldn't resist making a little joke...

We know Emily Blunt has a great sense of humor too, so it comes as no surprise that she had a little something to say to John about his new title. Besides being "very excited" about his win, she apparently told him she'd willingly plaster his face all over their home, wallpaper-style (via PEOPLE). The Jack Ryan actor said, "My children will love that, it won’t be weird at all."

TODAY also reports the actor revealed Emily may pile on the housework given all this newfound attention. "I think it's going to make me do more household chores. After this comes out, she'll be like, ‘All right, that means you’re going to really earn it here at home.'" We don't see a problem with that!

Here's everything Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski is working on right now:

Jonny Cournoyer/Prime Video

He recently wrote, directed, and starred in this year's IF — a film Ryan Reynolds also appears in — which follows a young girl's introduction to a vast world of imaginary friends. It almost feels like the heartwarming TV show Foster's Home of Imaginary Friends, albeit the young girl is dealing with possibly losing her only living parent.

Next up, fans will get to see John star in Fountain of Youth alongside Natalie Portman, according to Deadline. They'll star as a brother and sister who are determined to claim the actual Fountain of Youth for themselves.

Deadline also reports that he'll take the lead role in the upcoming Jack Ryan film. A premiere date hasn't been announced yet, but we do know Amazon MGM Studios is behind it!
