Gomez took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal her breakup on social media
Selena Gomez is retiring from social media.
On Tuesday, the 31-year-old singer and actress revealed in an Instagram Story that she’s “focusing on what’s really important” alongside a video of producer boyfriend Benny Blanco having fun with two young children.
“I haven’t been on social media for a while,” Gomez added.
The Wizards of Waverly Place The alum has never been shy about taking breaks from social media. In October, she revealed that she would be retiring from her social media “because it breaks my heart to see all the horror, hatred, violence and terror that is happening in the world.”

“People being tortured and killed or any act of hatred against any group is horrible,” she added at the time, before saying that “ALL people” should be protected, “especially children,” and that “violence should be stopped forever. ”
“I’m sorry if my words will never be enough for everyone or a hashtag,” she continued. “I just can’t stand innocent people getting hurt. That’s what makes me sick. I wish I could change the world. But the announcement won’t.”
