However, Gomez’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. She has been open about her struggles with mental health, lupus, and the pressures of fame. In 2016, she took a break from her career to focus on her well-being, showcasing her strength and vulnerability. This time away allowed her to regroup and return stronger than ever, using her platform to raise awareness about mental health issues.
