Selena Gomez reveals the celebrity who shaped her life at Galentine’s Day event

Selena Gomez and Jennifer Aniston turned their long-standing friendship into a full-fledged celebration at a glamorous Galentine’s Day event in Los Angeles. The two Hollywood icons cohosted the soirée at the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows, where Gomez openly expressed her admiration for Aniston.

“I’ve known Jen for over a decade now, and she’s someone I’ve always looked up to… she’s always been there for me,” Gomez said, reflecting on their deep bond.

The Grammy-winning singer revealed to People Magazine that Aniston has been a constant source of support and wisdom in her life. “It’s nice to have people in your life who can just be there and hear you out and give great advice,” she said.

Aniston, in turn, spoke warmly about Gomez, calling their relationship a mutual exchange of care and wisdom. “We sister-mother each other equally as best as we can,” she said, emphasising the depth of their connection beyond the glitz of Hollywood.

The event wasn’t just about friendship—it doubled as a promotional platform for their respective brands, with Gomez showcasing new additions from Rare Beauty and Aniston highlighting products from her beauty line, LolaVie.

While the evening sparkled with camaraderie, Aniston also took a moment to acknowledge the hardship Los Angeles residents have faced due to recent wildfires. “I hope everybody’s safe and okay. It’s been a hard one,” she said, expressing concern for those affected.

Gomez first spoke publicly about her friendship with Aniston in 2015, recalling how they connected through mutual industry ties. The bond formed quickly, with Aniston even inviting Gomez over for a cosy pizza night at her home. “She had a pizza oven… she’s very cool and very sweet. She gives me a lot of maternal advice,” Gomez shared at the time.

Nearly a decade later, their friendship remains stronger than ever—proving that in an industry known for fleeting relationships, some bonds truly stand the test of time.
