As the tradition dictates in 2020, when you have a birthday, your friends must hype you up and celebrate you on Instagram. The same goes for Selena Gomez, who recently—and quietly—celebrated her 28th birthday on the 22nd of June. While the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has put a damper on most celebrations for the last four months, the singer still had an outpouring of friends posting to IG to celebrate her birthday. One thing we noticed from all the sweet behind the scenes pics of Gomez? Girl loves to have a cuddle and nap with a dog.
Many of the moments being shared feature snippets of Gomez’s life we rarely get to see. These are some of the sweet tributes that her friends have been sharing so far.
Vanessa Hudgens
Vanessa Hudgens wished her “hunny bear” happy birthday with a cute picture of the two of them.
Anna Collins
Collins wished Gomez a happy birthday and posted a throwback to a blonde Selena moment that we’d nearly forgotten about. Such a cute look!
She also shared a bunch of pictures of the singer cuddling dogs, writing, “My favourite Selena is doglena.” We’d have to agree.
Raquelle Stevens
Singer Raquelle Stevens shared a number of IG stories for her close friend. “Big day today!” she wrote, continuing in the next story, “Happy Birthday @selenagomez! A decade of friendship together, we’ve been through it all. I cherish all of our memories, and this past year was filled with so many great ones…”
Courtney Lopez
Lopez, who Gomez shares a matching tattoo with, shared some very sweet candids and pictures of her and Gomez together.

Collins also shared some candids, again of Gomez chilling out, this time with a giant teddy bear. “It’s someone’s bday. Someone v special who is strong as hell and probably one of my favorite subjects ever. Hehe but seriously I love you like my lil sis even though ur older now.”
