Selena Gomez has shared a sweet message to her kidney donor friend.
There’s been an alleged fued between the pair in recent times.
Francia Raisa, 35, donated a kidney to Selena, 31, in 2017 due to the Rare Beauty founder suffering from the inflammatory disease Lupus.
However, in Selena’s 2022 Apple TV documentary, My Mind & Me, she said Taylor Swift was ‘her only close friend in Hollywood’ - leading to a rumoured falling out with Francia.

The How I Met Your Father actor stopped following Selena on Instagram and dodged reporters’ questions about it at the beginning of May.
Francia avoided talking about her friendship with the Disney star, instead giving replies like: “It's a good day, it's so pretty out now. I was in the snow last week and now L.A. weather."
Her father, Renán Almendárez Coello, also made comments about the pair, who were once very close, saying they no longer speak after an alleged argument about drinking.
He told Primer Impacto that Francia and Selena ‘had a little disagreement when Selena was drinking’.
The Honduran-American radio personality said: “Francia told her she didn't give her the kidney so she could keep drinking, so she could put it to waste... and all that.
“That's the way Hollywood is, that's how it is, glamour money and fame, it changes everybody's brains.”
But now, a new social media post from Selena seems to prove she still loves her longtime pal.
Celebrating Francia’s birthday, the star shared a sweet post to Instagram with three snaps of the pair together.
She wrote: “Happiest of birthdays to this special human being. No matter where life takes us, I love you.”
Included in the birthday snaps were images of the actors in the back of a convertible car and in glamorous dresses at an event, arms around one another.
Francia has liked the tribute and the pair are now following each other again.
In the meantime however, Francia has certainly been busy celebrating her 35th birthday in style.
In posts shared to her Instagram Story, the star rocks a bikini as she is surrounded by her gal pals around a pool.
Alongside a series of stunning pics, Francia wrote: “If I’m not in a bikini on my birthday then it’s not my birthday.”
