Fans Are Concerned About Selena Gomez’s Health After Recent Appearance Sparks Worry
Selena Gomez has long been open about her struggles with both physical and mental health, but a recent appearance has fans more concerned than ever. After posting a series of photos and videos to her Instagram and attending a few high-profile events this month, fans noticed what they described as subtle but worrying signs that the 31-year-old singer and actress may not be doing well.
In several candid shots from behind-the-scenes moments on set and during downtime at home, Gomez appeared visibly tired, with some fans pointing out that she looked “drained” and “not like herself.” A video clip from a recent event went viral after users commented on her seemingly low energy, subdued mood, and slightly slurred speech. While many rushed to defend her, others flooded social media with concern, using hashtags like #PrayForSelena and #WeLoveYouSelena.
“I hope she’s okay. She doesn’t look well at all,” one fan wrote on Twitter. Another added, “We’ve seen Selena glow in the past. She just seems off lately.”
These concerns aren’t coming out of nowhere. Selena has been very open about her ongoing health battles. She was diagnosed with lupus several years ago—a serious autoimmune disease that led to complications requiring a kidney transplant in 2017. She’s also discussed her bipolar disorder diagnosis and the immense emotional toll fame has taken on her over the years.
In her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, she gave an unfiltered look at her mental health struggles, sharing moments of breakdowns, therapy sessions, and raw journal entries. That vulnerability earned her praise, but it also reminded fans just how much she’s been carrying for years.
Now, fans are wondering if those struggles are resurfacing.
Despite the concern, Gomez has remained relatively quiet about the recent speculation. She did post a short message on her Instagram Story earlier this week, writing: “Taking time for me. Thank you for your love always .” It was vague, but many saw it as her way of acknowledging the concern without directly addressing it.
Sources close to Gomez have told entertainment outlets that she’s “okay but tired” and “working hard on multiple projects.” She’s currently involved in filming the next season of Only Murders in the Building, developing new music, and running her Rare Beauty empire, which has become a major success. It’s a full plate for anyone—especially someone managing chronic health conditions.
Still, fans are hoping she’s prioritizing rest and recovery. One user summed it up best: “We don’t need an album. We don’t need new makeup. We just want Selena healthy and happy.”
Whether it’s physical exhaustion, mental burnout, or just an off week, the public support for Gomez has been overwhelming. It’s clear that fans aren’t just following her for fame—they genuinely care. And for someone who has been through as much as she has, that kind of love can make all the difference.
