The actress revealed that "we never really had beef with each other," referring to rumors of their rift. "Nothing happened, and if you ask either of us, we don't know what happened," Raisa, 35, said, adding "But we needed that time apart."
"Then when you come back together, you're better people," Raisa continued. "She and I are still getting to know each other again," she added.
Raisa donated one of her kidneys to Gomez in 2017, and told talk show host Harry Connick Jr, the following year that both of them went through a period of depression.

When Selena Gomez didn't mention Francia Raisa
The theory of all not well between Gomez and Raisa began when in a 2022 Rolling Stone interview, the singer said that Taylor Swift is her "only friend" in the industry.
It got a bit surprising for fans after Gomez didn't mention Raisa in her Apple TV+ documentary too, which interestingly showed several of her friends.
Amid growing concern on social media over their friendship, Gomez then wrote on her TikTok, "Sorry I didn't mention every person I know."

But it was all good, when Gomez wished her teenage pal birthday in July, this year over her Instagram. “Happiest of birthdays to this special human being. No matter where life takes us, I love you. ❤️ @franciaraisa,” she wrote.
Raisa told USA Today, “I don't know why the universe decided this timing … then she reached out and said, 'Let's talk,' " said Raisa "It's no beef, just salsa."
The actress confirmed that she never regretted donating a kidney to Gomez amid their estrangement period. "And obviously, you know, I gave the girl a kidney so everyone felt a certain way and I was asked for years and years and years. 'Do you regret it?' and I was like, 'No, the relationship has always been there,' " said Raisa, adding "There was just a tiff."
