Selena Gomez [1] kicked back and relaxed on the beach in Mexico this week. The "Wolves" singer — who is currently back to brunette [2] after a brief stint as a blonde — was spotted wading through the ocean wearing a sleek black one-piece swimsuit [3] and chatting with friends. Selena's pal Raquelle Stevens shared a fun photo of the crew on Instagram [4], boasting that it was their sixth time ringing in the new year together.
Noticeably absent from Selena's tropical getaway is her on-again boyfriend, Justin Bieber [6]. Selena's trip comes on the heels of multiple reports of friction within her family [7] since she and Justin decided to give things another try; her loved ones are "not happy about them being together at all," and "it is causing them a great deal of stress and pain to watch her give him another chance." It was also reported that Selena's mom, Mandy Teefey, was hospitalized [8] after a heated argument with her daughter. Keep reading to see more photos from Selena's solo Mexico trip.
