Gomez and Chalamet had previously worked with one another on the Woody Allen movie A Rainy Day In New York, playing the respective love interests Chan and Gatsby.

Gomez has past said she thinks taking social media breaks at times make for a healthy decision, revealing that at one point, she took more than four years off from going online – letting her assistant run her account.

Appearing on Good Morning America in April of 2022, Gomez said staying offline had changed her life completely.

‘I am happier, I am more present, I connect more with people,’ said Gomez, who got back on personally in early 2023. Last year, she announced she was taking a break from her social media on two occasions.

The first came in February, as she was involved in a controversy involving Swift and Hailey Bieber, the supermodel wife of her ex, Justin Bieber.

‘I’m gonna be taking a second from social media, ’cause this is a little silly,’ Gomez said on TikTok Live. ‘And I’m 30, I’m too old for this, but I love you guys so much and I will see you guys sooner than later – I’m gonna just take a break from everything.’

Gomez took another break from the platform on October 30, just more than two weeks after Hamas’ October 7 attack on an Israeli music festival began the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

At the time she explained why she had not taken a sharp public stance on the topic.

‘I’ve been taking a break from social media because my heart breaks to see all of the horror, hate, violence, and terror that’s going on the world,’ Gomez said. ‘People being tortured and killed or any act of hate towards any one group is horrific.’

Gomez said that she was concerned for everyone involved in the ongoing war.

‘We need to protect ALL people, especially children and stop the violence for good,’ she said. ‘I’m sorry if my words will never be enough for everyone or a hashtag.’

Gomez said she couldn’t just ‘stand by innocent people getting hurt’ and that it makes her ‘sick,’ wrapping up in saying, ‘I wish I could change the world. But a post won’t.’
