Selena Gomez, 31, was seen with her grandparents, David and Debbie Cornett, on her way to an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The actress and singer was all smiles while holding hands with her grandfather as they walked into the Hollywood studio together.
For the occasion, Selena wore a chic long black dress featuring sheer long sleeves and a top panel, complemented by a bright white collar and cuffs.
She completed her elegant look with pointy black heels and had her long brown hair styled in soft curls cascading below her shoulders. Her ensemble was accentuated with dangling earrings and a full makeup look, including striking red lipstick.
However, the cheerful moment took a turn when a paparazzi confronted Selena with uncomfortable questions.
As she walked alongside her grandfather, the paparazzinfirst asked Selena her thoughts on Hailey Bieber’s pregnancy. The question visibly unsettled Selena, who quickly changed her expression and sought cover behind her bodyguard, appearing clearly distressed.
The intrusive questioning did not end there. The paparazzi proceeded to ask if she wanted to rekindle her past relationship with Justin Bieber. Once again, Selena’s demeanor shifted, her smile fading as she grew visibly more uncomfortable.
The encounter, captured on video and shared by TikTok user iri_offiziel, quickly garnered thousands of views within hours of being posted.
The footage has sparked debate online, with some viewers questioning the authenticity of the video, suggesting it might be AI-generated, while others criticized the paparazzi’s intrusive and irrelevant questions.
“This is so mean”, said someone in the comments. “Selena deserves better than this! Let her live in peace 💔”. “she’s so tired about being asked for him… it’s been YEARS and she’s happy and loved and appreciated by Benny. People should leave them finally 😭”.
