Selena Gomez is happy to be ‘honest with the public’ and speaks about ‘appreciating’ her problems, such as having bipolar disorder, after putting on a provocative show in Paris

Selena Gomez has learned to ‘appreciate’ her personal struggles.

The 31-year-old pop star – who put on a busty display in Paris last week – revealed in 2020 that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder before she opened up about her mental health in the 2022 documentary My Mind and Me.

And she reflected that the older she gets, she no longer feels ‘held back’ by anything.

‘I have to say, turning 30 was a good moment for me. I’m 31 now, and I actually truly feel like the older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve really appreciated the struggles that I’ve had,’ she told People.

‘And I don’t necessarily feel like I’m held back by anything.’

‘I just feel like I’ve been honest with the world, I’ve been honest with myself, I’ve called myself out, and I just want to be the best version of myself,’ said the stunner who runs the beauty company Rare.

The Single Soon hitmaker – who shot to fame in her early teens when she was cast in the leading role of Alex Russo in Disney Channel sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place – went on to assure fans that after all this time, she now feels ‘really happy’ in herself.

This is especially after retailer Sephora agreed to donate 100 per cent of the sales from her Rare Beauty brand to her Rare Impact fund in honor of World Mental Health Day.

She said: ‘I’ve done so many cool things in my life, but there’s never been a moment quite like this. I’m so grateful.

‘I actually feel that way about my gala that’s coming up as well, and to know that my partner Sephora is actually supportive of [my mental health] mission is so incredible.

‘I know it seems easy, but I promise you it’s been years of constant back and forth in my head, and now I’m just really happy, and I guess it’s showing, which I’m really honored.’
