Selena Gomez Is Back on Instagram One Day After Announcing Departure from Social Media

Selena Gomez is back on social media.

One day after the singer and actress announced plans to take a break from social media “for a while,” she posted to Instagram on Wednesday to promote a collaborative cooking video with chef Gordon Ramsay.

“@gordongram stepped into my kitchen and showed me how to make an amazing Breakfast Burger,” wrote Gomez, 31, alongside the clip on her Instagram Story.

Throughout the 14-minute long video, Ramsay, 57, teaches the Selena + Chef star to cook and assemble the ingredients for a breakfast burger, from scrambled eggs to turkey bacon and more.

On Tuesday, Gomez shared a video to her Instagram Story of her record producer boyfriend Benny Blanco having a playful moment with two young children.

“I’m off social [media] for a while,” she wrote alongside the clip. “Focusing on what really matters.”

The Wizards of Waverly Place alum has never been shy about taking breaks from social media. In October, she revealed that she would be stepping back from her socials “because my heart breaks to see all the horror, hate, violence and terror that’s going on in the world.”

“People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific,” she added at the time before going on to say that “ALL people” need to be protected, “especially children,” and that “violence needs to be stopped for good.”

“I’m sorry if my words will never be enough for everyone or a hashtag,” she continued. “I just can’t stand by innocent people getting hurt. That’s what makes me sick. I wish I could change the world. But a post won’t.”

Gomez’s recent social media break announcement comes after she shared a snap of herself having a romantic kiss with Blanco, 35, at the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday.

The photo showed Gomez holding Blanco’s neck while wearing the red and black Giorgio Armani dress and black jacket she wore to the awards. “I won,” she captioned the sweet photo.

Gomez and Blanco confirmed their relationship in December 2023.
