Pop singer Selena Gomez has a few famous friends. But her less famous friends—Courtney Lopez, Raquelle Stevens, and Ashley Cook—who have been with her for more than seven years are her closest friends.
So who is Courtney Lopez? Read on for this short bio to learn all about one of Selena’s best friends.
My Mind and Me: Meet Selena Gomez’s Friend Courtney Lopez
Courtney Lopez is one of the friends who saved Selena Gomez.
As detailed in the new Apple TV Plus documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me, the pop singer suffered a psychotic episode in 2018. She seemed like a completely different person at the time. Luckily, she was surrounded by her closest friends, including Courtney, who helped her stay sober.
“I have to say that friendships have really saved me in a huge way and that’s because I’m aware of who I’m with. So the people in my life are lovely people, people who have substance, live normal lives and have priorities and responsibilities that I might not have,” the star explained.
After successfully recovering, that same year, Selen and three of her closest friends got matching tattoos. And it looks like the star kept Courtney at number 1 — getting matching “1” tattoos.
“You are an amazing woman. The way you handle life’s toughest moments is indescribable and graceful. You are the definition of a child made in a FEARFUL and AMAZING way. #1,” Selena wrote on her IG.
Another reason why Courtney is Selena’s number one is because of their seven-year friendship.
Likewise, Selena got the number “4” with Ashley Cook. “You are my number 4 for the rest of my life. I love you,” Selena said on Instagram.
Courtney Lopez Husband
Courtney Lopez married husband Sam Lopez on February 21, 2019, just four months after getting engaged.

But the couple skipped the wedding reception and instead had their closest friends officiate as another way to include their loved ones.
As of 2022, the couple has been married for over 3 years.
According to Courtney, she felt like she would be lost without him. Although she did not see him at his best at first, she now has great respect for how Sam has “grown, developed, deepened, and reached out.” Additionally, she is grateful for her husband leading their family and everything God has entrusted to him with “wisdom, precision, care, and reverence.”
Her husband, Sam, is one of the Lead Pastors at Hillsong California. He even graduated from Hillsong College and joined the church in 2011. Before becoming the Lead Pastor, Sam was the Pastor of the Los Angeles Campus. He is passionate about building a healthy church and seeing people come to know Jesus and grow in their faith.
