What is Selena Gomez doing now? After a four-year break from social media, the Only Murders in the Building star is back with a possible Emmy nod and Wondermind, a new mental health platform
- The Netflix executive producer and former Disney star might be up for an Emmy for her performance in Hulu’s mystery-comedy series, which also features Steve Martin
- She’s ‘happily single’ and chill with her ex Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Baldwin, although there were rumours about dates with Chris Evans and Cara Delevingne
As a Disney actress growing up in the spotlight from a young age, Gomez rose to prominence for her leading role as Alex Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. A mega-celebrity now, with added showbiz talents including singing and producing, she has released multiple award-winning albums and launched a successful beauty empire, all supported by her cult fan base.
But Gomez told ABC News that staying offline has been helpful for her well-being. “It has changed my life completely. I am more present, I connect more with people. It makes me feel normal.”
The desire for that normality, coupled with her diagnosis of bipolar disorder, led her to the decision to quit social media, and it’s enabled the mental health advocate to feel “the happiest I’ve ever been”. She said that it’s her team who manages her socials, and though she assists in curating some content, she’s no longer the one to manually engage with brands or fans.
Let’s see what the Mexican-American star has been up to lately instead.
