Depression and illness - the two things that hit Selena Gomez hard caused her to take a step back from the showbiz world to rest. She took her time to make sure that she can bounce back as a healthy, happy singer we have always seen her as and her recent uploads showed a positive outlook on the rest she has been taking!

She might not have the most ideal body right now, but Selena is looking so much healthier and smiled happily in these pictures. She is celebrating her friend's nuptials in a beach party and looked so dazzling in her two-piece white bikini. Her confident shining ever so brightly in the pictures. Previously, we have heard about her kidney transplant in 2017 and her Lupus diagnosis that meant she always requires enough rest and remains in a low-stress environment. Being a celebrity means that you can barely get those two things and we are happy to see that she made the right steps to regain her own life. And now, she took a trip during the weekend to celebrate a friend's engagement party and she looked like she has been enjoying her time.

Her recent comeback features her and Julia Michaels on a song called Anxiety under Julia's album, Monologue Part I.
