Selena Gomez is no longer the most followed celebrity on Instagram. Gomez has held the title for the most followed person on Instagram for years but has never been fond of it.
But no need to whine and complain about being the most followed anymore. Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has finally surpassed Gomez on Instagram. As of right now, Ronaldo has 144,325,731 followers and Gomez has 144,315,506 followers.
@selenagomez Instagram @cristiano InstagramThe two celebs were neck in neck for followers for a while. Ronaldo was always just a bit behind Gomez but finally passed her. Gomez became the second most followed celebrity on the social media site comes after she announced a social media break.
Her last post is from September 23. She posted a selfie of her smiling and the caption reads:
“Mood lol (I was looking at myself in the mirror – like an idiot!) Update: taking a social media break. Again. As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given. Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember – negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings. Obvi.”

At the beginning of October, it was reported that Gomez suffered an emotional breakdown and was hospitalized. She was emotional and worried about her low white blood cell count and had an emotional breakdown. She entered the hospital and then a psychiatric facility later. She is reportedly receiving dialectical behavior therapy treatment.
In her September Elle cover story, Gomez said that doesn’t even have her password for her Instagram.
“I’m not on the internet,” Gomez said. “I haven’t been on the internet in months. I don’t have my password for Instagram.”
Gomez went on to say that she’s not on the internet because “the reason why is, it’s not real to me” and she doesn’t care about showcasing her personal life on the app.
