Actress Francia Reisa, who donated her kidney to Selena Gomez in 2017, commented for the first time on the rumors about their fight. The reason for the controversy was that the 37-year-old star did not attend the singer’s wedding with producer Benny Blanco last weekend.
In a new interview, Reisa emphasized that talk of hostility between her and Gomez is nothing more than speculation. “I know he got married and I am very happy for him. He has a life, he is already a billionaire and I am grateful that I can do this for him,” said the actor, adding that he still wishes his friend happiness.
In the interview, the girl also said that organ donation should not be perceived as a way to strengthen personal ties. “If you donate a dollar to a church, you don’t call later and ask what they did with it. It’s a donation, and I’m happy I was able to do it,” Reisa said, adding that she was grateful to fate for the opportunity to save a life.
Francia admitted that the surgery and recovery were difficult for both of them. After the transplant, he and Selena experienced depression, and Gomez nearly died from complications. But the actor says he has no regrets: “It was out of the goodness of my heart, and I’ve been incredibly blessed ever since.”
Rumors of tension in their relationship began in 2022, when Gomez called Taylor Swift her only friend in the industry in an interview with Rolling Stone. Reisa later responded with the comment “Interesting,” sparking a wave of speculation. Later, both celebrities announced that there was no conflict between them.
According to Reisa, she and Selena don’t always keep in touch, but they remain close. “We talked for a year and then didn’t meet up and it seems like not even a day has passed,” he admitted. Emphasizing that their friendship has been through a lot, the actor added: “We never really fought. It’s just that sometimes people need time to get close again.”
Let us also remind you that the lovers’ wedding took place in California on September 27. Although the celebration was intimate, many famous guests attended. And fans have already noticed a touching detail in their wedding photos.
