Britney Spears Had ‘No Idea’ Selena Gomez Would Come To Her Wedding: ‘She’s Special’

It’s with great joy and a heart filled with gratitude that Britney Spears is using to appreciate the friend she has in Selena Gomez, 29. Britney, 40, took to Instagram to share a photo of the Wizards Of Waverly Places alum from a photoshoot, thanking Selena for attending her recent wedding to Sam Asghari, 28, along with guests Drew Barrymore and Paris Hilton.

Now, remember that Paris Hilton is that friend of Britney who turned down a Deejay hosting gig at President Joe Biden’s dinner party for a wedding, not just any wedding, Britney Spears’ wedding! No wonder Britney is full of appreciation.

Britney Spears — What Britney Said About Selena Gomez

“She came to my wedding,” Britney began, referencing Selena, before shouting out Drew and Paris, as well.

“The three most beautiful women in Hollywood … @drewbarrymore, @parishilton,” she said of the famous trio of guests. There was one twist, though: Brit revealed she didn’t actually know that they would be among the 60 guests at the intimate Thousand Oaks, California affair, held on June 9.

“I had no idea !!! I was SO HAPPY !!!” she exclaimed out of surprise. Back to Selena, though, Britney went on to detail a special conversation that the two former Disney stars had at the reception — even comparing Sel to her mother Lynn Spears. “[Selena] told me ‘I just want you to be happy’ three times … My mother does that as well … It was so cool she was able to get to me and share her thoughts,” she said in the caption.

“Although I’ve been forced to see people against my will my whole life … [Selena] was a beautiful surprise!!!” Britney penned. The Crossroads actress also gave a shoutout to Selena’s advocacy work in the mental health space through Rare Beauty, which launched a ‘Your Words Matter’ campaign earlier this Spring. “I appreciate ALL the mental health speeches she does for our generation … Two hour specials with representatives … You’re such a special person and I had to share this picture … I thought it would make her happy,” Britney wrote.

Notably, Britney has been estranged from most of her family — including dad Jamie Spears, sister Jamie Lynn Spears, and mom Lynn — following the end of her conservatorship in Nov. 2022. Despite the drama, and previously calling out her mother’s past alleged behavior, Britney seemed to be happy with Lynn’s response to her nuptials publicly. “My mom was asked by the paparazzi 3 times on the street ‘How does your daughter feel about your response to her wedding’… she said all she wanted for me was to be happy !!!” Britney added. “Mom and Selena, I’m so happy to have such a supportive family !!! God bless you,” she ended the post.

Some fans said that they didn’t understand what Britney was trying to say. One fan interpreted Britney’s message to mean: “Britney is saying Selena genuinely wants her to be happy while her own mother calls paparazzi so she can say “I want her to be happy” and act like she is a good mother.”

However, another fan thought that Britney may be working on mending her relationship with her mother.

“Maybe she’s mending her relationship with her mom. And there is nothing wrong with that,” they wrote. “Britney is a strong, smart, grown woman and she knows to be cautious now. I wish her all the best if this is the case. I would rather she have her mother in her life and have a renewed and healthy relationship than not.”

However, a lot of fans were focused on the friendship between Britney and Selena. “Collab with her please,” one fan commented.
