Selena Gomez made sure no one was going to miss her best friend's 35th birthday.

The "Lose You Ro Love Me" singer took to Instagram to post a carousel of pictures of Francia Raisa in celebration.

The former "Wizards of Waverly Star" said in a caption, "Happiest of birthdays to this special human beings [sic]. No matter where life takes us, I love you. @franciaraisa."

Taking a trip down memory lane, Selena posted three old photos together with Francia. In one photo, they could be seen sitting together in a convertible sipping on champagne as their eyes were locked onto each other.

Selena's birthday tribute to her friend was precious.

In a series of pictures, it showed them in various moments throughout their years of friendship.

A trio of pictures were posted, beginning with a shot of Selena embracing Francia from behind. To conclude, there was an image of both ladies smiling brightly as they hugged at an event some time ago.

Upon the 31-year-old's celebratory post to her astounding 426 million followers, social media was abuzz with reactions.

"It's clear to see that Selena Gomez has always been respectful and grateful towards Francia from the beginning," one person said.

"Unlike what Francia has done for her, Selena has never done anything to invite any resentment - this is an undeniable fact."

A different fan commented on the situation, noting how Selena had not taken a bitter stance.

"Who would have thought such a twist of events was possible? Amazingly, Selena has managed to stay so positive!"

In early November 2022, a feud between Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa was reportedly sparked when the former Disney star failed to mention her name during an interview with Rolling Stone.

In the chat, Selena famously stated that Taylor Swift was her "only friend in the industry". Francia then responded to that interview with "interested," according to InStyle magazine.

During an appearance on Apple TV+ a few months later, Selena took the opportunity to express her appreciation for her friend Francia's selfless act in 2017.

The "Lose You To Love Me" singer thanked Francia for donating a kidney to her that same year.

Selena said during that time, "It was one of those moments where I felt watched over. I know I was so, so, so lucky."

"I understand that that doesn't happen for a lot of people and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are, so I do not take it lightly that it's happened to me that way."
