At 3am, while the rest of the world was still asleep, Selena Gomez received a call that nearly stopped her heart. The caller informed her that her husband – who was on a business trip in Oxford, England – had encountered an incident related to extremely bad weather on the way back. In an instant, Selena felt everything go dark, her heart stopped when she heard the words: “We are not sure if the plane can land safely…”

Selena immediately jumped out of bed, tears falling uncontrollably. She couldn’t believe her ears, she didn’t even dare to believe because she was afraid that it was the most terrible truth of her life. All the worst things appeared in her mind: loss, separation, pain that no one wanted to touch.

For the first 20 minutes after the call, Selena could only tremble while holding the phone, continuously calling back to her manager, to her assistant, to the airline – anyone who could give her an answer. But everything was just a suffocating silence.

And then, in the midst of her despair, Selena’s phone rang again. Her eyes were red, her hands shaking so much she almost dropped the phone. But what she heard was a sentence that made her burst into tears of relief:

“The plane landed safely. He’s on his way home.”

Just seconds before, Selena had thought her life was falling apart. But this one announcement made her collapse into a chair, crying silently – this time out of gratitude and happiness.

According to a source close to her, the plane carrying Selena’s husband had to face heavy rain, gusts of wind and thick fog when leaving Oxford. At one point, the pilot had to consider circling back several times to find the right angle to land. It was in that tense moment that Selena received the haunting call.

About 40 minutes later, the door opened. The man she thought she had lost forever walked into the house, still safe, still smiling. Selena immediately rushed to hug him, crying like a child. She said she had never felt “a moment so long”.

Many fans on social media sympathized with Selena, saying that her going through such a shock was something no one should have to endure. From the “scream” in the middle of the night, Selena understood more deeply the value of the person she loved and the fragility of life.

A night full of tears, but ended in peace – something that sometimes, celebrities need more than anything.
