The 25 year old, who was diagnosed with Lupus in 2015, explained that she would be opening up about her “journey” soon as she thanked her best friend Francia Raisa’s “ultimate gift and sacrifice”.
And her boyfriend of nine months, The Weeknd, has reportedly been a rock for the singer and actress during the difficult time.
According to People, the R&B star, named Abel Tesfaye, had rescheduled his summer gigs so he could be there by Selena’s side.
