32-year-old actress Selena Gomez said she cannot get pregnant due to health problems.
Selena shared in an interview with Vanity Fair magazine released on September 9: “I never said this, unfortunately I can’t get pregnant on my own. I have a lot of health problems that could threaten the lives of both mother and 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 if I get pregnant. I’ve been grieving about that for a while.”
However, Selena Gomez revealed that she planned to have 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren in a different way. “It doesn’t have to be the way I envisioned it. I used to want to be like everyone else, but now I’m a lot more open-minded,” Selena confided.
“I feel so lucky to have amazing people willing to be a surrogate or adopt. Both are great possibilities for me. I’m so grateful that there are avenues for people who are desperate to become mothers and I’m one of them. I’m so excited for this journey,” she added.
The Only Murders in the Building star was diagnosed with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease, in 2013. She had a kidney transplant in 2017, and received a kidney from close friend and actress Francia Raisa. Selena was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2018.
Earlier this year, the former Disney star told Time magazine that if she was still single by 35, she would adopt. “I was single for five years and I was really used to it. A lot of people are afraid of being single and I was really self-destructive for the first two years of being single, but then I accepted it. I made a plan for myself at 35 if I didn’t meet the man.”
Last summer, Selena Gomez found new love, musician and music producer Benny Blanco. In an interview with Vanity Fair , Selena confessed that she had “never been loved like this before” and described her boyfriend as “the complete light of my life.”
Benny Blanco confided a few months ago that he wanted to get married and have 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with Selena . When asked about this, Selena laughed and replied: “He couldn’t keep it to himself. After the interview, I laughed so hard and said: ‘Is there anything else you want to confess?'”.
Selena, who just turned 32 and is worth more than a billion dollars , said she has always longed for a family but is not pressured to get married at this time.
