Selena Gomez will never be able to have children herself. She wants to fulfill her wish to have children through surrogacy or adoption.
Actress and musician Selena Gomez (32) has spoken openly about her desire to have children. “Unfortunately, I can’t have children of my own,” explains the “Only Murders in the Building” star. “I have many medical problems that would put my life and that of the baby in danger. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
Selena Gomez: “It will be my baby”
Gomez continues in the conversation: “I thought it would happen like it happens for everyone. But I’m much more comfortable now with the fact that it won’t be like that.” She feels blessed that “there are wonderful people who are willing to do surrogacy or adoption, both of which are tremendous opportunities for me.” She is very grateful for these opportunities that exist for those “who really want to become mothers. I’m one of them. I’m excited to see what that journey will look like, but it will look a little different. But at the end of the day, I don’t care. It will be mine. It will be my baby.”
The actress already stated in November 2022 that she would probably not be able to have children due to the medication she takes for her bipolar disorder. After visiting a friend, she cried in her car after realizing that she would probably never be able to carry babies herself, Gomez says in the cover story. The topic is a “very big, huge” thing in her life right now, says Gomez. However, she hopes to be able to become a mother in another way in the coming years: “However I have her, I will have her.” Gomez has spoken openly about her health problems in the past. In 2014, she was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease lupus. She then had to undergo a kidney transplant and chemotherapy.
Benny Blanco is her “best friend”
In the “Vanity Fair” interview, Gomez also raves about her great pillar of support in life, music producer Benny Blanco (36). She says of her partner: “I’ve never been loved like this. He’s just been a light, an absolute light in my life. He’s been my best friend. I love telling him everything.” According to Gomez, the two don’t put any pressure on themselves when it comes to wedding planning. “We always make sure that we protect what we have, but there are no rules. I want him to always be himself. I always want to be myself.”
In December 2023, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made their relationship official, and the two have reportedly been dating since July 2023. After months of speculation from fans, Gomez commented under a photo shared on a fan account: “He is my absolute everything in my heart.” Shortly afterwards, she posted a selfie with Blanco on her Instagram story, putting an end to the rumors.
Before Selena Gomez made her relationship with the music producer public, she was said to have been single for five years. Before that, the former Disney star was in an on-off relationship with Justin Bieber (30) for eight years. In 2018, the former dream couple separated for good.
