Washington: The most followed woman celebrity on Instagram now is singer-actress Selena Gomez. She reportedly quit the social media handle after being the most followed celebrity. The singer has beaten Kylie Jenner with her 382 million Instagram followers, while Kylie's are 380 million.
Earlier Kylie was the most followed female celebrity on Instagram. Selena announced on another social media platform Tik Tok that she is taking a break from Instagram. She went live on TikTok saying, "I'm very happy, I'm so blessed. I have the best friends and the best fans in the whole world and I just couldn't be happier."
"I'm good, I love the way I am, I don't care and yeah, I'm gonna be taking a second from social media 'cause this is a little silly and I'm 30. I'm too old for this," she said further, adding, "I love you guys so much and I will see you guys sooner than later. I just have to take a break from everything."
Gomez's break from social media is not the first time, earlier too on several occasions she had taken a break from social media citing her mental health.
