Selena Gomez is back online! Just a day after announcing a social media break, the star of Only Murders in the Building surprised fans with a new post on January 10. Her latest Instagram clip featured a cooking session with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who was visiting her kitchen to whip up a meal.
During their culinary adventure, Ramsay, 57, inquired about Selena’s breakfast preferences. She revealed a penchant for “a nice breakfast sandwich or a little taco, burrito.” The pair ended up preparing burgers, which Selena described as “delicious.”
The unexpected return came just a day after Gomez announced her social media hiatus. On January 9, Selena had shared on her Instagram Story, “I’m off social for a while. I’m focusing on what really matters.”
Her decision to step back from social media followed a swirl of speculation and drama at the Golden Globes on January 7. Cameras captured Selena, Taylor Swift, Keleigh Teller, Timothée Chalamet, and Kylie Jenner in a seemingly intense discussion. Fans speculated that the conversation involved a disagreement over a photo request with Chalamet, which some interpreted as Kylie denying Selena the chance to snap a picture with the actor.
Selena swiftly addressed the rumors in an Instagram comment, clarifying, “I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s [anyone’s] business.”
The drama surrounding Selena and Kylie Jenner isn’t new. Tensions have flared before, notably due to Kylie’s close friendship with Hailey Bieber, who was previously linked to Selena’s ex, Justin Bieber. In February 2023, speculation arose when Kylie and Hailey appeared to mock Selena’s eyebrows in a TikTok video, though both denied any ill will.
In the wake of the eyebrow incident, Selena took to TikTok to announce her brief social media break. “I’m gonna be taking a second from social media because this is a little silly,” she said. “And I’m 30. I’m too old for this. But I love you guys so much and I will see you guys sooner than later. I just … I’m just gonna just take a break from everything.”
Now, back on social media, Gomez seems ready to reconnect with her fans, serving up both culinary delights and a dose of her signature charm.
