Francia Raisa, who donated a kidney to Selena Gomez in 2017 during Gomez’s fight with lupus, has spoken out amid rumors of a falling out after she was not invited to Gomez’s recent wedding. Fans had long speculated about tension between the two, but Raisa has dismissed such claims.
During a recent interview at a bookstore event, Raisa wished Gomez well in her marriage to Benny Blanco and expressed gratitude for being able to save her life. Speaking in Spanish, Raisa said she is happy for Gomez and proud to have helped her.
Raisa also clarified misunderstandings about organ donation, emphasizing that it is a selfless act to save lives rather than something that creates an everlasting special bond. She compared it to donating money to charity—once given, the benefactor doesn’t control what happens next.
The two have had ups and downs publicly, including social media moments that sparked speculation of a rift, but Gomez has repeatedly praised Raisa’s generosity, calling her “the person she will never be more in debt to.” Their enduring bond remains rooted in life-saving friendship.
