Selena Gomez Reveals She Can Not Carry Her Own Children in New Interview
Selena Gomez recently revealed that she cannot carry her own children due to medical complications that pose a risk to both her and the baby’s life. In her candid interview with Vanity Fair, the 32-year-old singer and actress expressed that she had to "grieve" this realization but now views surrogacy or adoption as viable and exciting possibilities for the future. This is prepared by SSP.
Gomez, who has been transparent about her physical and mental health battles—including her diagnosis with lupus and bipolar disorder—addressed the emotional impact of learning she couldn't carry her own children. "It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. (But) I’m in a much better place with that," she told Vanity Fair. Gomez noted the relief and gratitude she feels for alternatives like surrogacy and adoption, emphasizing her excitement to become a mother someday. "At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby," she added.
In addition to her health challenges, Gomez also opened up about her romantic life, sharing that she’s been in a loving relationship with music producer Benny Blanco since December 2023. Describing Blanco as "a light" in her life and her "best friend," Gomez shared how deeply she appreciates his support. "I’ve never been loved this way," she remarked. Blanco further fueled engagement rumors during a May interview with Howard Stern where he hinted at marriage, sparking speculation when Gomez was later seen with a ring and followed a wedding planner on social media.
Discussing the possibility of starting a family, Gomez stressed that while she acknowledged the pressure others might feel, she is in no rush. Instead, she values authenticity and support in her relationship. "We always make sure we’re protecting what we have, but there’s no rules. I want him to always be himself. I always want to be myself," she shared.
Professionally, Gomez continues to thrive, having been recently named one of the youngest female self-made billionaires by Bloomberg. Her diverse career—from Disney Channel stardom on shows like Barney & Friends and Wizards of Waverly Place to her music and beauty ventures—has earned her a substantial fortune. Her beauty brand Rare, launched in 2020, has significantly contributed to her $1.3 billion net worth. Currently, she stars in the critically acclaimed series Only Murders In The Building, and fans are also eagerly waiting for the premiere of her upcoming movie Emilia Perez.
Gomez's journey has been one of resilience and adaptability, embracing future possibilities both in her personal life and career.
