Selena Gomez: Motherhood hopes despite health

Selena Gomez recently spoke about her future motherhood plans, acknowledging that her health conditions, including lupus and bipolar disorder, prevent her from carrying a child naturally. She revealed in 2024 that this realization was something she had to grieve but has since found peace with the possibility of using surrogacy or adoption. Gomez stated that she is excited for this journey and that the child will ultimately be hers.

Her husband, Benny Blanco, has also expressed his strong desire to start a family, stating he is 'pressing' for them to begin their parenthood journey soon. Blanco shared on a podcast that he is not afraid of making mistakes as a parent, viewing them as opportunities to make his child special. He believes that real-life failures contribute to a child's unique character and growth, much like blemishes on a report card can highlight eventual success.
