\n\tFans have been loving the reunion between Selena Gomez<\/a> and Demi Lovato<\/a>, but no one understands how meaningful it is more than the two friends.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a Thursday (Oct. 29) post on Instagram<\/a>, Gomez shared photos from her new Rare Beauty blush collaboration<\/a> with the Camp Rock alum as well as a few throwbacks, writing, \u201cover 25 years of ups and downs in life and friendship and growth, there has always been a constant that has brought me back to you, @ddlovato.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou were the person who knew the seven-year-old me who just had a dream, and I knew that you had a very big dream, too,\u201d the beauty mogul continued, alluding to the pair\u2019s first meeting on Barney & Friends back in the early 2000s. \u201cI love what we\u2019ve been through. I\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve been through. Thank you for still being one of the most unbelievably real honest human beings in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGomez added, \u201cI love you with all my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe duo has certainly been through a lot over the past quarter-decade. They both broke out as superstars on Disney Channel, at one point uniting in 2009 original movie Princess Protection Program \u2014 which provided the inspiration for the aesthetic of the Rare collab \u2014 but Gomez and Lovato\u2019s friendship experienced turbulence<\/a> in the 2010s. After multiple instances of growing apart and reconciling, the performers are now firmly in each other\u2019s corners, with Gomez coming<\/a> to one of Lovato\u2019s It\u2019s Not That Deep Tour shows earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso for the Rare campaign, Lovato and Gomez sat back down to film one of the BFF vlogs they used to post on the regular two decades ago, marking their first time doing so in about 18 years. The pair recreated their famous \u201cYo, yo!\u201d opening<\/a> at the beginning and answered fan submitted questions.<\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Gomez and Lovato donned tiaras and looked back on some of the most iconic photos of them together through the years, adorably laughing about moments from their past that now make them cringe. <\/p>\n

\n\tBoth stars last dropped albums in 2025, with Gomez and now-husband Benny Blanco reaching No. 2 on the Billboard 200<\/a> with I Said I Love You First. Lovato unleashed It\u2019s Not That Deep that same year, debuting at No. 9 on the U.S. albums chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tGomez and Lovato have also charted on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> numerous times over the years, including with their 2009 collaboration, \u201cOne and The Same,\u201d which peaked at No. 82.<\/p>\n
