“It’s still crazy to me that people were invested in our friendship,” she told USA Today. “I don’t know why the timing happened the way it did, but I remember being in St. Tropez in June and I kept talking about her. We hadn’t spoken much in six years. Especially the last year, we didn’t speak at all.”

Back in July, Selena wished a “Happy Birthday” to Francia on Instagram, which the actress “liked” in response.

Shortly after that, Francia told paparazzi that there was no beef between the two, and a few weeks later, they went out to dinner together.

“I don’t know why the universe decided this timing,” Francia shared. “Then she reached out and said, ‘Let’s talk.’”

“We’ve never really had beef with each other. Nothing happened, and if you ask either of us, we don’t know what happened but we needed that time apart. Then when you come back together, you’re better people. She and I are still getting to know each other again,” she added.

“And obviously, you know, I gave the girl a kidney so everyone felt a certain way and I was asked for years and years and years, ‘Do you regret it?’ and I was like, ‘No, the relationship has always been there.’ There was just a tiff,” Francia said.

The “no beef” inspired the “No beef, just salsa” shirts, and with the push from Hilary Duff to can her salsa, Francia launched her homemade salsa for sale via a collaboration with the brand La Victoria, which you can purchase now on Amazon!
