Francia also weighed in on another new, high-profile couple.

In reference to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship, she stated, ‘I’m happy for Taylor ’cause I’ve known Taylor a really long time, too. I’m really, really happy for her.’

Raisa also discussed her own love life during the brief red carpet interview.

She opened up: ‘I’ve been more focused on myself, but lately I decided this year I’m ready for a partner so… we’ll see.’

The How I Met Your Father star noted, ‘I’m not messing around. I’m literally telling guys when I meet them, “I’m 35. I’m not wasting my time. If I’m wasting my time, tell me and I’m not having 𝑠e𝑥 with you right away so you better wait.”‘

Elaborating on her intimacy timeline, she divulged, ‘My therapist told me to wait five dates. It’s very hard. I know Steve Harvey said 90 days, but that’s even harder. Also, I’m 35, like, Mama’s hungry.’

It comes after Raisa recently revealed that Selena was the one to initiate rebuilding their strained friendship.

Speaking to USA Today, she shared that the Only Murders in the Building star ‘reached out and said, ‘Let’s talk.”

Francia explained: ‘We’ve never really had beef with each other. Nothing happened, and if you ask either of us, we don’t know what happened but we needed that time apart.

‘Then when you come back together, you’re better people. She and I are still getting to know each other again.’

Raísa continued: ‘And obviously, you know, I gave the girl a kidney so everyone felt a certain way.’

And she noted that ‘for years and years and years’ she has been asked if she regrets donating her kidney to Gomez, who suffers from lupus.

She answered: ‘No, the relationship has always been there. There was just a tiff.’
