Selena Gomez has revealed she suffers from arthritis, due to having lupus.
The Love You Like a Love Song singer, 33, appeared on the Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast when she opened up about her health.
Gomez, who recently celebrated her bachelorette weekend ahead of marrying musician Benny Blanco, 37, said she has arthritis in her fingers and even found it hard to open a water bottle, a struggle many people can no doubt relate to.

She made the revelation when talking about the packaging for her beauty and makeup brand, Rare Beauty.
”So I have a few medical things. But, I have arthritis in my fingers, and that’s due to my lupus,” she said on the podcast.
“So I remember before the brand, I was trying to open a water bottle and it hurt really bad before I was on the right medication.”

“And we somehow inherently made the products easy to open, and then we realised, wait – they kind of have to be that way.”
She said she was mindful of the packaging she used for her brand.
“And then we started to make every product with the intention of [working for] anybody who [has] dexterity problems.”
Amid her battle with lupus, Gomez had a kidney transplant back in 2017. She was diagnosed with lupus in 2013.
