Word is Selena Gomez gained weight due to her breakup with Justin Bieber. The two seemed to be going strong before they decided to go on a break.

Selena's Gaining Weight Thanks To Justin?

Now, rumors swirl that Gomez is eating her sorrows as a way to cope with the possibly permanent split. Still, while it’s no secret Gomez’s weight has a tendency to go up and down, her stress over her romance with Bieber isn’t the reason why.

Apparently, the kidney disease that Gomez suffered caused her weight to be inconsistent for years, according to Gossip Cop. When Gomez underwent a kidney transplant, thanks to her best friend and Grown-ish actress Francia Raisa, she lost lots of weight. It is safe to say that her recent weight gain is a result of the singer going back to her size prior to the transplant rather than her being stressed over her alleged rollercoaster love life.

Selena Embraces Her Body

Gomez has never steered away from speaking on her fluctuating weight. She once pointed out in 2015 that she did gain weight, but also made it clear she wasn’t ashamed of it. That same year, she told her millions of fans and followers on social media that she was completely happy with herself. It looks like the same holds true today.

“If anybody told me to go on a diet, I don’t think they’d be working with me anymore,” said Gomez just last year.

Gomez spoke on her image and the standards of beauty via Instagram earlier this month as well.

“The beauty myth,” said Gomez. “An obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty. I choose to take care of myself because I want to, not because I have to prove anything to anyone. Wind in her sails.”

Justin And Selena's Back And Forth

News of Bieber and Gomez getting back together came in November 2017, just after Gomez and her now ex-boyfriend The Weeknd called it quits. An insider confirmed that Bieber wasn’t the reason Gomez and The Weeknd went their separate ways. Still, her friends reportedly told her to take things slow with Bieber as she was still recovering from her kidney transplant.

Rumors of a possible split with Bieber and Gomez sparked in January after he went on a vacation with his mother. It’s not clear why they are no longer together.
