Her last post featuring Nicola was shared in a photo dump that December, while Nicola's most recent post with Selena was taken at Blanco's birthday party in March 2024.What's more, Nicola and Brooklyn have gone from liking nearly every one of Selena's Instagram posts to becoming silent followers of the Rare Beauty founder – even as they each marked major milestones in their lives.Following the passing of her 95-year-old grandmother – nicknamed 'Naunni' – in 2024, Nicola paid tribute to her beloved family member on the one-year anniversary of her death in May.While Selena had initially liked Nicola's Instagram post announcing her grandmother's death last year, the singer was nowhere to be found in the likes or the comments of Nicola's most recent tribute post.Selena also failed to show some love to the couple online in April, when they marked their third wedding anniversary with a sweet Instagram post.

But insiders insisted that Selena, Nicola and Brooklyn's social media activities should be taken with a pinch of salt, as not everything posted online is reflective of their everyday lives.'For Nicola and Selena, it is a matter of out of sight, out of mind,' the source said.'Their distance, their schedules and their relationships have taken over and they haven't been able to hang out with each other or take vacations. That hasn't ruined their friendship, it just means they can't stay as close because they don't spend enough time with each other.'Plus, when Selena has free time, she likes being a homebody. She'll see Nicola again and when she does, they will have the same fun as they have had before.'However, it's no secret that finding free time can be a challenge for the in-demand Hollywood star.
