The founder of The Rare Beauty smiled from ear to ear in a new photo with her colleagues
Selena Gomez and her Wizards of Waverly Place The costars are back together!
On Friday, two former co-stars of the 31-year-old Rare Beauty founder shared a photo of the TV family spending time with each other on Instagram — and it seems everything is exactly as it seems!
“The Russos ❤️🪄 are back #wizardsofwaverlyplace @wizardspod,” read the broadcast posted by David Henrie and David DeLuise.
The Disney Channel series ran from 2007 to 2012 and followed a family of wizards with Gomez playing teenager Alex Russo, alongside brothers Justin Russo (Henrie, 34) and Max Russo (Jake T. Austin). DeLuise, 52, was the patriarch of the clan, while Maria Canals-Barrera was cast as the mortal wife and mother, Theresa Russo.
Everyone except Austin (29) appeared in the photo.
In the television series, which ran for four seasons and spawned two spin-off TV movies, the siblings had to learn how to use their magical powers or risk losing them.

Wizards of Waverly Role Location: Where are they now?
On the same day that Deadline shared the news, Disney Channel’s official Instagram account posted a close-up photo wizards script of the pilot as the toy wand lay across it.
“📍Waverly Place,” was the headline.
“Get ready for Russo to become part of your family again, but we’ve grown! 2024, the year 🪄 returns ;),” Henrie added in the comments section.
According to the official synopsis, the sequel will describe the aftermath of “a mysterious incident at WizTech, where an adult Justin Russo left his wizarding powers behind, opting for a normal, human life with his wife and two sons.

Earlier this week, Henrie shared a photo of himself and Gomez posing with the new cast members on his Instagram Story.
“Let’s make some 🪄 [magic]”, he wrote with the photo.
And on the eve of the new year, Gomez also showed some love to a few other actors.
“Trio,” she captioned the Instagram carousel featuring her with her Just the murders in the building actors Martin Short and Steve Martin. The comedy-murder mystery series, which is in its third season on Hulu, earned Gomez her first Emmy nomination.

Speaking with TheWrap in June, the “Single Soon” singer reflected on the lessons she learned from her chosen family.
“They helped sharpen my skills,” she said of Martin, 78, and Short, 73. “I hope one day to be as funny as they are. They are really gifted at creating a situation out of nothing and making people laugh and I admire that deeply.”
