Selena Gomez has shared heartbreaking news about her future as a mother. On Monday, September 9, 2024, the singer and actress revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that due to her ongoing medical conditions, she will not be able to carry her own children. The 31-year-old star, who has been vocal about her battle with Lupus since 2015, expressed her sorrow over the realization but has come to terms with her situation.
Gomez stated that for a long time, she assumed she would experience motherhood in a traditional way, but her health issues have made that impossible. She revealed, “I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
Despite the emotional toll this has taken, Gomez has remained optimistic about becoming a mother through other means. She is considering surrogacy and adoption, both of which are viable options for her. “At the end of the day, I don’t care… it’ll be my baby,” she said, expressing her excitement about what the future holds for her as a mother, even if the journey is different from what she originally envisioned.
Gomez’s boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco, has been incredibly supportive. The couple has been dating since July 2023, and Blanco has been open about his desire to have children with her. In a recent interview, Blanco shared that having kids with Gomez is one of his biggest goals in life. Gomez has reciprocated those feelings, expressing how deeply loved she feels in this relationship.
In addition to her personal life, Gomez is thriving professionally. On September 6, Bloomberg reported that the star has now crossed into billionaire territory, thanks to her makeup brand Rare Beauty, investments, and her work in music and acting. She’s also receiving praise for her role in Emilia Perez, a film that debuted at the Cannes Film Festival and will be released on Netflix in November.
But despite all her success, Gomez’s focus remains on building a family. In her interview, she shared that before meeting Blanco, she had spent five years single and reflecting on what truly matters to her. “Family” was the answer, and she’s determined to create that family on her own terms.
Her candidness in discussing such a personal and emotional topic has resonated with fans, many of whom admire her strength and positivity despite the challenges she faces. As Gomez continues to excel in her career, her openness about her struggles serves as an inspiration to many who are going through similar experiences.
As she prepares for the future, both personally and professionally, Selena Gomez continues to be a role model, showing resilience in the face of adversity and the power of staying hopeful for what lies ahead.
