In a recent post on her verified social media handle, singer Selena Gomez proudly showed off her scar from a kidney transplant which she until now felt hesitant to reveal.
However, she says she now feels confident and is proud of what she had gone through.
The 28-year-old singer took to Instagram to post a photo of herself in blue swimwear. She is seen posing with one leg placed on a rock as she puts her inner thigh scar on display. She got the scar from an emergency follow-up procedure after her kidney transplant in 2017.
"When I got my kidney transplant, I remember it being very difficult at first showing my scar. I didn`t want it to be in photos, so I wore things that would cover it up," she captioned the post.
"Now, more than ever, I feel confident in who I am and what I went through...and I`m proud of that. T - Congratulations on what you`re doing for women, launching @lamariette whose message is just that...all bodies are beautiful."
Her Instagram followers showed support and applauded her gesture, in the comment section.
Meanwhile, the American singer-songwriter recently dove into topics like old friends, music and marriage.
According to Fox News, the 28-year-old singer Gomez recently made an appearance on virtual talk with YouTube beauty guru Nikkie De Jager for a video on her online channel.
The two discussed Gomez's makeup line Rare Beauty, the 'Back To You' singer said in the video that her wedding is "never gonna happen," according to Us Weekly.
"It's hard in quarantine," admitted Gomez in reference to dating, though she noted that her comment was "not an invitation" for advances toward her.
It seems she also feels similarly about her song lyrics.
The 'Ice Cream' songstress said, "It`s just funny because I release things that say 'I want a boyfriend' and stuff. People say that and I'm like, 'No, I didn't really mean it though. Guys are a lot of work."
She also dated Canadian singer The Weeknd for 10 months in 2017, and she's been linked to Charlie Puth and actor Orlando Bloom in the past as well.
The former Disney star addressed her public relationships during an episode of her HBO Max cooking show 'Selena + Chef'.
As per Us Weekly, the 'It Ain't Me' songstress said, "When people think of me... do they just think of me as, 'Oh, that girl who was with that person' and that's it? I would be devastated if people think that because I've worked so hard to not be that ..."
