    “I felt like I bonded with everyone,” the 33-year-old shared with former costars JenniferStone and DavidDeLuise on their Wizards of Waverly Pod podcast in 2023. “Little did I know that I ended up with everyone I needed to be in my life. I think I felt safe, and that’s a really hard thing for me to feel. I know that you guys love me for me.”

    Selena added, “You guys genuinely loved me, and that’s all I could have asked for, the unconditional trust and bond we had, I miss so much.”

    In fact, the “Who Says” singer “felt like I was the happiest I had been my whole life” while working on the series. 

    “I recognize that obviously it’s because I have this different attention on me that I just didn’t have then,” she continued, “and that was a really pure time, and I miss that.”
