Global pop star Selena Gomez, 32, has reportedly been hospitalized again following a sudden relapse of her long-documented autoimmune condition. According to sources close to the singer-actress, Gomez was rushed to a Los Angeles medical center late Monday night after experiencing severe fatigue, headaches, and complications related to her lupus diagnosis.
Insiders say Gomez had been feeling unwell for days but continued pushing through a tight schedule of studio recording sessions and meetings for her beauty brand Rare Beauty. The singer was also preparing for upcoming promotional appearances linked to her new music project set to drop this summer.
Selena’s team confirmed the news with a short statement early Tuesday: “Selena experienced a minor health setback connected to her lupus and is now under the best medical care. She is surrounded by family and close friends and is expected to make a full recovery.”
Fans will remember Gomez’s years-long battle with lupus, an autoimmune disease that affects the immune system and can lead to inflammation and organ damage. In 2017, Gomez shocked the world by revealing that she had undergone a life-saving kidney transplant, which she credited with giving her a second chance at life.
However, despite her positive outlook, Selena has faced several health scares since then. In 2018, she quietly checked into a mental health treatment center after experiencing anxiety and depression, conditions often linked with chronic illness. She has spoken openly about these struggles, hoping to reduce stigma and encourage fans to care for their own mental health.
This latest hospitalization has forced her to postpone several planned commitments, including a charity appearance in New York and a fan Q&A livestream that was meant to premiere this week.
Close friends say Gomez had been ignoring warning signs and overworking herself in recent months. “She always wants to be there for everyone and give 100%, but her body just needed rest,” one source said.
Fans around the world have flooded social media with hashtags like #PrayForSelena and #GetWellSelena, sending love and support. Many are praising her openness about her health journey and reminding her to put herself first.
At this time, Selena’s team has not given a specific timeline for her return to work but emphasized that her health remains the top priority. Doctors are reportedly monitoring her condition and recommending rest and follow-up treatment.
