**LOS ANGELES, CA -** Pop star and actress Selena Gomez has revealed in a candid interview with Vanity Fair that she will not be able to experience traditional pregnancy due to medical complications. Gomez, who has been open about her struggles with Lupus, shared that she has been forced to grieve the inability to carry her own children.
