Selena Gomez Says She Can't Carry Her Own Children Amid Health Journey
View Date:2024-12-23 16:39:24
Selena Gomez is detailing a personal part of her journey.
The “Rare” singer has opened up about expanding her future family and the difficult reality she’s facing after years of health struggles.
“I haven’t ever said this,” she said in the new cover story for Vanity Fair’s October issue, “but 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.”
The 32-year-old went on to note that despite the development, she still plans to have children and is grateful for the medical alternatives available to her.
“It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it,” the Only Murders in the Building star, who has been public about her battle with lupus, said of welcoming a child. “I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. [But] I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.”
As for the next chapter of her personal life, Selena added, “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
And while the pop star’s love story with music producer Benny Blanco has been public for more than a year, she told the outlet that she’s been considering ways to become a mom long before they got together.
“Before I met my boyfriend, I was single for five years, with the exception of going on a few dates,” she shared. “And I was like, ‘Okay, if this is the vibe, then what is the most important thing to me? Family.’”
Earlier this year, Benny admitted to Howard Stern that having kids was his "next goal on the box.”
In response, Selena told Vanity Fair, “He can’t lie. After the interview, I was dying laughing. Like, ‘Anything else you wanted to put out there?’”
As for the couple’s PDA-happy romance, the “Same Old Love” singer noted, “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
But despite that, there’s no pressure on the couple to tie the knot anytime soon.
“We always make sure we’re protecting what we have, but there’s no rules,” she said. “I want him to always be himself. I always want to be myself.”
And if the day does come for the pair to head down the aisle, only one thing is for certain.
“I’m not changing my name no matter what,” she insisted. “I am Selena Gomez. That’s it.”
