Rosy Cordero of Latina.com reports that the two most followed people on Instagram are Latinos Cristiano Ronaldo followed by previous champ Selena Gomez. –

“While Selena Gomez is taking a social media break, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has become the most followed person on Instagram.

The singer and actress has 144,345,570 followers on the popular social media site while the busy dad has 144,404,284 followers, as of press time. The margin is small but there’s no real competition as Gomez is in treatment for mental health issues.

Not that her social reach has ever really mattered to the “Shake It Up” superstar. She’s gone on record to say she doesn’t care one bit as to how many followers she has.

Gomez entered a psychiatric facility after suffering a “mental breakdown,” according to TMZ sources, after receiving a low white blood cell count. This is critical for someone like the young star who has undergone a kidney transfusion.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, has had a busy few months with his gorgeous partner Georgina Rodriguez and their young children, as well as playing for a new soccer team.

In the end, social media followers don’t matter, as Gomez has said.

“I know my voice is very prominent, but I’m not careless with , she told Elle Magazine.” I’m selective … That’s my life. I’m living it the way I want to live it.

But it’s about making a conscious effort—if I can have a moment to be with my friends, I’ll take that time. So I don’t have any of it. I had to make that decision.””
