by

You’re gonna want to give your heart a break after seeing this.

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato were seen together publicly for the first time in nearly a decade. Gomez attended the opening night of Lovato’s ‘It’s Not That Deep’ tour in Orlando, Florida on April 13th.

Selena posted photos and a video from the concert on her Instagram Story, giving a shout-out to her former co-star from Princess Protection Program. The video showed her dancing while wearing merchandise from the artist.

She posted a picture of Demi and wrote that she was crying because the show was incredible. She was especially impressed with the singing, saying it was amazing.

Selena enjoyed the concert from a VIP area and also got to see a former Disney Channel co-star backstage. She shared a photo of them hugging and smiling, and added a heart emoji to the picture.

Demi also reposted the photo to her Story, adding, “Thank you so much for coming!!! Loved seeing you.”

The recent reunion of Demi and Selena was a heartwarming moment for many who grew up in the late 90s and early 2000s (often called Zillennials). It was the first time they’ve been seen together publicly since a photoshoot for InStyle magazine in 2017. Although they remained friendly, their relationship had drifted over the past decade.

Although people speculated about a serious falling out, Demi and Selena have shown there was no lasting bad blood between them. Demi recently shared how grateful she is for their long friendship, recalling their time working together as kids on the show Barney & Friends in the early 2000s.

Demi explained on the March 3rd episode of the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast that she and Selena Gomez were friends before their time on Disney Channel—they actually appeared on Barney together. Having that pre-existing friendship gave Demi a sense of comfort and security when she joined Disney Channel.

The 33-year-old, who worked with Selena on a children’s TV show for two seasons between 2002 and 2004, said they are very thankful for their ongoing friendship.

Selena celebrated the release of her album, I Said I Love You First, and her marriage to Benny Blanco with Demi in attendance to show her support. Demi herself married Jutes in May 2025.

She said she was thrilled for her, and just wants her to be happy, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live in September.

She said she loved the album, calling it “really, really great.” She especially enjoyed the song ‘Bluest Flame,’ which she identified as her favorite.

As for Selena, she recently discussed the joy of her Disney cohort all succeeding in life.

Selena reminisced to Jake Shane on his podcast, Therapuss, about growing up with so many successful peers. She mentioned stars like the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, and Zendaya, saying it was amazing to watch everyone from her school achieve their dreams.
