Selena's Summer: Rare Reunions, Beauty Billions, and Murder Mysteries

Selena Gomez BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Selena Gomez has taken a step back from the relentless spotlight this summer, choosing quality moments with close friends and fiancé Benny Blanco over red carpet appearances. Just days ago, she shared a rare and intimate Instagram carousel showing Benny, a cozy meal with her longtime Wizards of Waverly Place co-star Jennifer Stone, and a nostalgic rewatch of the Disney show that launched her career. Her caption, Good times good food good people, perfectly set the tone for her understated season and drove a flurry of celebratory reactions from fans and media alike. The post prompted speculation about Jennifer Stone’s expanded role in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the reboot Gomez has been producing and making guest appearances in. The cast and crew recently wrapped up filming for season two, as confirmed by enthusiastic activity on both Selena’s and the show’s social accounts. This reunion with Stone is more than idle nostalgia it marks a genuine reconnection after years apart and recalls last year’s vulnerable podcast interview where Gomez spoke openly about friendships and fame, a moment that resonated for many longtime fans according to Parade and AOL.

On the business front, Gomez’s Rare Beauty continues its meteoric ascent in the global cosmetics arena. Reports from multiple outlets including Gracker and Brand Vision confirm that Rare Beauty’s revenue exceeded half a billion dollars last year, with analyst valuations now topping $2.7 billion. Much of the momentum is attributed to the brand’s accessible price point, inclusive shade range, and viral bestsellers like the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, which alone generated about $70 million in sales. In a recent Women’s Wear Daily interview, Gomez hinted at exploring a fragrance line, though she stressed personal well-being and maintaining Rare’s mission over rushing toward a sale or IPO. She reiterated her commitment to mental health support via the Rare Impact Fund—a philanthropic effort which has now raised and distributed over $16 million for global youth mental health organizations.

In entertainment, the headline is that Selena has wrapped the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building, with Hulu announcing a September 9 premiere. She’s kept relatively quiet about new music but stayed in circulation by supporting Blanco’s projects and collaborating with the Only Murders cast. For fans eager to see more, she is slated for a guest spot on Therapuss with Jake Shane airing tomorrow night.

There are no verified scandals or health rumors contrary to some unreliable social buzz. The most significant themes remain her creative and business achievements, transitioning iconic roles, and deepening personal connections during a pivotal chapter—biographically, Selena Gomez appears to be exactly where she wants to be, and thriving.
