Singer and actress Selena Gomez has revealed that she is unable to carry children due to medical complications stemming from her Lupus diagnosis. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Gomez shared that she has “a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy,” and acknowledged the emotional toll of coming to terms with this reality.
The 32-year-old star, who received chemotherapy and a kidney transplant after her 2013 Lupus diagnosis, expressed a strong desire to become a mother. She had previously hoped to start a family by 35, but plans have shifted since meeting her current boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
While Gomez initially envisioned carrying her own children, she has embraced alternative paths to motherhood. “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different,” she stated, mentioning surrogacy and adoption as options. “At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
Gomez’s candid revelation highlights the challenges faced by many individuals navigating infertility, and offers a hopeful perspective on the diverse ways to build a family.
