Francia Raisa spills the beans on the epic saga of rekindling her BFF status with the one and only Selena Gomez. Hold onto your hats, because this friendship rollercoaster is wilder than a cat chasing a laser pointer.
The 35-year-old wonder, also known as the How I Met Your Father superstar, and the 31-year-old entertainer extraordinaire found themselves in the midst of a friendship drama ages ago, but fear not, for they rose from the ashes like a pair of glorious, phoenix-like besties in the summer of 2023.
In a recent interview, Francia spilled the beans on the behind-the-scenes action of this friendship resurrection, and it’s so juicy you’ll need a bib to catch the gossip droplets.
“It’s still blowing my mind that people had stock options in our friendship,” Francia chuckled to USA Today. “I have no clue why the friendship gods decided to press play on our reunion at that particular moment. But there I was, sipping on my fancy drink in St. Tropez in June, yapping about Selena. We were like long-lost buddies, and the last time we actually exchanged more than a few words was when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, like six years ago. The last year? Radio silence.”
Now, hold your Instagram likes, because in July, Selena casually threw a “Happy Birthday” shoutout to Francia on the ‘Gram. And what did our heroine do? Hit that heart button like a DJ dropping the hottest beat. Cryptic? Perhaps. But wait, there’s more.
In a bold move, Francia faced the paparazzi head-on, declaring to the world, “No beef here!” A few weeks later, they were spotted breaking bread together at a swanky dinner joint. Cue gasps and dramatic music.
“I’m telling you, the universe must have been binge-watching a drama series because the timing was impeccable,” Francia spilled. “Then, out of the blue, Selena slides into my DMs – metaphorically, of course – and goes, ‘Let’s talk.'”
According to Francia, there was never any real beef, just a mysterious “tiff” that left everyone scratching their heads. “We don’t even know what went down, but we decided to take a vacation from each other. Turns out, absence does make the heart grow fonder. We’re like the upgraded versions of ourselves now, still in the process of rediscovering our BFF mojo.”
Oh, and lest we forget, Francia dropped the bombshell reminder: “I gave the girl a kidney, people! There’s no turning back from that. For years, they asked me, ‘Regret it much?’ and I was like, ‘Nah, man, the friendship vibes have always been strong.’ It was just a tiny hiccup, like when your Wi-Fi acts up. No biggie.”
