March 12, (THEWILL) – Selena Gomez has stated that she will never ever be more indebted to anyone than Francia Raisa, after she donated a kidney to her in 2017.
The singer and actress received a kidney transplant from Raisa in 2017 to help combat the health issues she was suffering as a result of auto immune lupus.
She paid tribute to her best friend for her selfless gesture, acknowledging that she was so lucky.
Speaking on Apple TV+ documentary series ‘Dear’, Gomez said Raisa is her best friend.
“My best friend. Her name is Francia. She said, ‘No, I am absolutely getting tested.’
“And within three days, she went to get tested, and she was a match. And it was one of those moments where I felt watched over. I know I was so so so lucky.
“I understand that such doesn’t happen for a lot of people, and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are, so I do not take it lightly that it’s happened to me that way.
“I will never ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia. The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming”, she stated.
This development is coming after fans speculated that Gomez had fallen out with her pal following an interview Gomez gave in which she said she didn’t have many famous friends and only listed Taylor Swift as one.
After E! News used the first half of the quote in an Instagram post, Francia shared a comment, which she later deleted, that read: “Interesting”.
And in response, Gomez commented on a TikTok post chronicling the supposed feud.
She wrote: “Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know.”
