Selena Gomez's personal life
At the age of 12, Selena Gomez put on her finger the so-called “purity ring”. It is a common tradition in the United States that a girl who wears a ring accepts it as a symbol of chastity and vows to keep her virginity until marriage. However, the silver ring with the inscription “I will wait for my betrothed” was not destined to hear the ringing of wedding bells. 
And the reason for this is pop singer Justin Bieber, an icon of millions of teenagers around the world. He drew attention to the Hispanic beauty with a baby face in 2010. More precisely, on the contrary, the girl, who was two years older than him and knew the rules of musical show business much better, at first glance wanted to protect this confused short boy. And he answered her in return.
This aroused the anger of the young man's fans - in the first months of their romance, Selena's Twitter was torn from the incoming threats from Justin's fans. But, despite the obstacles, the relationship of star teenagers developed so rapidly that in January 2011 the purity ring disappeared from Selena's hand. Following this news, very candid photographs of teenagers appeared in the press: they kissed enthusiastically on the beach.
Apparently, Selena's lessons went to Justin's benefit. His popularity reached incredible heights, and the pleasures that star status opened up to him overshadowed the dignity of his girlfriend. He never turned down huge portions of attention from female fans, and once publicly flirted with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Relatives of Selena said that it was Justin's constant flirting that caused the breakup of the star couple.
But, apparently, Selena's feelings for ex boyfriend did not fade away - in 2014 and 2015, the paparazzi caught them together more than once. And especially attentive journalists noticed that the actress sometimes walks around in Justin's clothes, and considered this a symbol of the couple's reunion.
Rumors came to an end when, in January 2016, Selena appeared in public with an unknown young man. They were holding a pen and chirping sweetly on their way to one of the fancy restaurants in Beverly Hills. Later it turned out that the guy's name is Samuel Krost - he is a musician, a frequenter of nightclubs and an advertising face of the brand menswear Onia. And after that, she began an affair with rapper The Weeknd.

After the operation, Gomez and Bieber began to communicate again: the singer threw ex girlfriend messages. On October 22, 2017, they spent an evening in the company of mutual friends at Selena's apartment, a week later they were seen together at a church in Los Angeles. On October 30, Selena broke up with The Weeknd, and that evening she went to cheer for Justin at a hockey game. On November 15, at another hockey game, they kissed, marking the second life of their relationship.
Selena Gomez now

According to Western media, 26-year-old Selena Gomez was in the hospital - the star suffered a nervous breakdown.
According to sources, for last month the singer was hospitalized twice due to low levels of leukocytes in the blood. It could be side effect from kidney transplantation (her star, we recall, was done two years ago). During the second visit, Selena had a panic attack, and then panic attacks began to haunt her.
She realized that she needed to seek help as she was experiencing severe emotional problems. She is surrounded by close people and her family, who support her in every possible way. She is undergoing treatment for east coast and now she is much better
— said the insider.
However, some fans are still sure that the reason for this condition lies not only in the star’s surgery, but also in her former 24-year-old lover, who recently tied the knot with 21-year-old Hailey Baldwin. And although sources close to Selena that she reacted absolutely normally to this news and this did not hurt her at all, her psycho-emotional state indicates the opposite.
Among the younger generation, the American singer Selena Gomez is very popular, because millions of fans follow her personal life more than carefully. Just last week, information appeared that the girl had a nervous breakdown, and therefore landed in a psychiatric hospital. It goes without saying that main reason turmoil fans call her marriage former lover Justin Bieber.
However, not everyone agrees with such a hasty conclusion: insiders claim that the relationship of the ex-boyfriend of Selena Gomez, perhaps, has nothing to do with it. There is a version that Gomez, in principle, perceives everything that happens around her very emotionally, therefore several factors influenced her mental state at once, after which the celebrity's well-being deteriorated significantly.
Insiders say that Selena is a very emotional person and, first of all, she is impressed by the sharp statements of users on social networks. It would seem that a person who has millions of subscribers should have gotten used to this and simply ignore the “haters”, but in the case of Selena, this approach does not seem to work. There is evidence that Gomez takes all the criticism to heart, and therefore faced with big psychological problems when there is too much of it.
But, whatever one may say, the news about sudden wedding Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin played a role: it turned out that Selena Gomez is very hard to see the news about her former lover's new relationship. In turn, it cannot be said that only Justin's wedding caused depression - rather, it was whole line reasons that crippled the health of the singer.
So, it's not easy for her to constantly hear and see the news about Justin's relationship. But she also runs into others stressful situations. Returning to the hospital was difficult enough for her. It is not fair to say that any one event caused this, because depression is a combination of a number of problems,
– added an insider.
As it became known, it was difficult for Selena Gomez to decide on another hospitalization, but she did it. Now the girl is under the supervision of specialists, and diligently follows all their recommendations. Insiders say that Selena - strong-willed Human. She follows the instructions of doctors, goes in for sports and follows a special diet.
Selena's ex-lover Justin Bieber could not hold back his tears after learning about her hospitalization. The paparazzi noticed the artist crying in his car, an insider from Bieber's entourage said that he will always take care of Selena and empathize with her.
It is possible that Selena's health problems worsened after the news of the wedding of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin. Earlier, a source from the singer’s entourage emphasized that it was not easy for her to constantly hear about her former lover’s new romance.
For the first time about problems with mental health Selena Gomez media started talking back in early 2018. Journalists learned that in February, the artist underwent a two-week course of treatment for depression.
Fans and foreign publications associated this with a number of problems that have accompanied the artist over the past 1.5 years: breaking up with her favorite artist The Weeknd, restoring and yet another break in relations with Justin Bieber, and a disease called "top", because of which she was forced to accept a kidney transplant.
The star also recently announced that she is leaving social media, in particular Instagram, indefinitely.
The singer, actress, producer and fashion designer (Selena's second collaboration with Coach saw the light in August) said that last years got saturated. 2017 was not easy for Gomez - the fight against lupus, a kidney transplant, love polygons involving Bieber and The Weeknd. The singer admits that this year she entered a different person: “As soon as I turned 26, I felt that I was 26. I clearly understand where I am going and do not feel insecure or emotionally unstable, as I used to be. I got to know myself a little better." It turns out that now volunteer work has been added to Selena's impressive resume. Quietly, without cameras and attention, five days a week, the singer worked for an organization that is doing its best to solve problems. sexual slavery women and child trafficking. After all the difficulties that Gomez had to go through, her soul asked for help to those who needed it.
Getting what she wants and living without regard for others is a skill that Selena has mastered to perfection: “Someone will see me with a glass of wine? I didn't care. I don’t hide from anyone and live the way I like.” The singer is not ready to listen to instructions even from her own mother, who tried to dissuade her daughter from participating in Woody Allen's Rainy Day in New York project. The director's proposal, which Gomez agreed to, fell at the height of the era of allegations of sexual harassment. Allen was then suspected of seducing his seven-year-old daughter, and for role model teenagers, cooperation with the infamous director was out of place. But Selena decided to bend her line to the end and still refuses to explain what motivated her.
Selena, one of today's top influencers with an army of 140 million followers, is completely indifferent to social media success and only occasionally updates Instagram from her friend's phone: “I haven't been online for months. I don't even have a password for my Instagram. No apps on your phone other than a brain training game. It's just not real. If I have time to be with my friends, I don't want to waste it on something else."
The singer has long realized the value of friendship, so the topic of Demi Lovato's drug overdose is taboo for her: “After what happened, I contacted her personally. I didn't want to say anything to the press. I love her, I've known her since I was seven years old. So...that's all I can say."
