Actress and singer Selena Gomez admitted to having one major regret since leaving her role as teen wizard Alex Russo on the hit Disney sitcom “The Wizards of Waverly Place”: not keeping in touch with other members of the cast.

Gomez revealed her regret when she joined two of her former cast mates — David DeLuise, who played her father Jerry Russo, and Jennifer Stone, who played her best friend Harper Finkel — for Monday’s episode of their podcast, “Wizards of Waverly Pod.”

DeLuise prompted the exchange with a prewritten question pulled from a “crystal ball” on the table, asking her to describe her “biggest mistake” with one caveat: “you can’t say a boy’s name.”

“Okay, Jesus,” Gomez reacted, leaning back in her chair. “You know what? Probably not staying in touch with you guys.”

“Oh s***, you’re gonna make me cry,” DeLuise responded, removing his glasses and pushing back in his chair.

“I think I slowly became … kind of shamed. I felt ashamed of the decisions that I made. I didn’t want you guys to see me in the state that I was in because, a.) you would have told me the truth which terrifies me, and b.) I didn’t want to let you down,” Gomez told the two hosts, admitting that despite her fears at the time, she felt bad about not doing a better job of staying in touch with them.

“That’s really sweet and thank you for saying that,” DeLuise replied. “We obviously … I miss you and I’m happy you’re doing well now.”

“I appreciate you saying that too. To be perfectly blunt, like you know there has been times where I’m like … ‘Did we stop being friends because I didn’t tell her what she wanted to hear?’ You know what I mean … so I appreciate you being here,” Stone added.

“I appreciate you guys … dearly and I love you so much in a way that I’ve never loved anybody else,” the “Only Murders in the Building” star continued.

Stone jumped back in then, saying that what was truly “beautiful” was the fact that as they continued to get older, they learned from mistakes like that.

“We don’t have to stay in that place,” Stone said, and Gomez agreed: “Absolutely.”

Singer Shakira had strong words of condemnation for women who betray other women, which fans believe is a thinly veiled commentary on her ex’s girlfriend.

The Colombian-born songstress said as much during a Spanish-speaking interview with Mexican journalist Enrique Acevedo on his Televisa show “En Punto,” per People. 

“I bought the story that a woman needs a man to be complete,” Shakira said, according to a translation from the outlet. “I had that dream of having a family: mother and a father living with their children living under the same roof. Not every dream in life comes true, but life finds a way to make it up to you.”

“There is this quote … that I love, and it says, ‘There is a special place in hell for women who don’t support women,'” the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer continued, referencing a line former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said while campaigning for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Shakira was likely reacting to a recent photo her ex-partner Gerard Piqué posted of himself smiling with 23-year-old Clara Chia Marti. Piqué, who shares two children with Shakira and was in a relationship with her for 11 years, allegedly cheated on the singer with Marti while Shakira was on tour. The pair announced their split last summer.

“I’ve always been very emotionally dependent [on men] – I have to confess this. I just love love,” Shakira continued during the interview. “But I think somehow I see things from a different perspective now. I feel I’m enough and I think when a woman faces challenges in life, they come back stronger. You learn to see your flaws, to embrace your vulnerability and express that pain you might be feeling.”

While it took her a long time to process those emotions, the 46-year-old performer said she’s doing better now because she has to.

“I feel complete — because I feel like I can depend on myself and I have two kids who depend on me,” she said of sons Sasha, 8, and Milan, 10.

Shakira went on to assert she had to be “stronger than a lion” as she moved on from the Spanish soccer star amid the cheating scandal. “That strength, in order for it to be real and not a façade … it needs to be the result of a great pain,” she said. “Accepting that pain and tolerating the frustration because there are things in life that don’t turn out the way we want them to.”

Though Shakira and Piqué shared two children and a long-term relationship, they never legally married. “We already have what’s essential, you know?” the “She Wolf” singer told Glamour during a 2014 interview. 

“We have a union, a love for each other, and a baby. I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them.”
