Selena Gomez revealed that she spent the summer recovering from a kidney transplant in a post on her Instagram. Gomez needed the transplant due to her lupus diagnosis, which she announced in 2015.

“It was what I needed to do for my overall health,” Gomez said. “I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you.”

The post featured a picture of Gomez and donor, Francia Raisa, holding hands and smiling in hospital beds. Raisa, a longtime friend of Gomez’s, is a 29-year-old actress best known for the ABC Family show The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
