After almost four months out of the spotlight to focus on her health, Selena Gomez has returned to Instagram with a special message for her fans.
It’s been a while since you have heard from me, but I wanted to wish everyone a happy new year and to thank you for your love and support,” she captioned her three portraits of herself.
“Last year was definitely a year of self-reflection, challenges and growth. It’s always those challenges which show you who you are and what you are capable of overcoming. Trust me, it’s not easy, but I am proud of the person I am becoming and look forward to the year ahead. Love you all.”

Gomez’s post comes after the singer took several months away from the spotlight to focus on her mental and physical wellbeing. The singer and actress sought treatment for her mental health at the East Coast facility in October after reportedly being hospitalised twice due to low white blood cell count, a complication that can arise in kidney transplant patients.
Gomez was first seen out after her time away in December when she went on a snow-tubing trip with her friends. She appeared in their Instagrams but until today, she hadn’t posted on her own account.

Recently, Gomez was photographed hanging out with Taylor Swift and Cazzie David.
In September, Gomez explained on her Instagram why she was taking a break from the platform.
“Taking a social media break. Again,” she wrote on her last selfie. “As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given. Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings. Obvi.”
Glad to have you back Sel!
