Selena Gomez has been battling lupus for many years. She’s been open about her diagnosis and has talked very candidly about the toll it’s taken on her.

Here are some articles and videos, if you want to read/watch more:

• She has a documentary called “My Mind and Me” on Apple TV. Here’s a short trailer. 
• Here’s a fairly recent Today Show article/video in which she talks about her health.
• Here is an older ABC article in which Selena and other patients talk about what it is really like to have lupus.

In 2017, she underwent a kidney transplant for complications related to her disease. Her disease course is more severe than it is for many patients with the disease; kidney transplants are typically used only after other, less dangerous treatments fail.
