Selena Gomez, who has been vocal about her battle with lupus, recently disclosed that while she dreams of becoming a mother and building a family with her partner, Benny Blanco, her medical conditions prevent her from carrying a child.

Selena Opens Up About Her Inability to Experience Pregnancy. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Gomez spoke openly about her desire to have a family with Blanco but explained that it won't happen in the way she originally imagined. Reflecting on her health issues, which include a kidney transplant, Selena admitted that she had to mourn the fact that she will never experience pregnancy. "I've never shared this before," she said. "But sadly, I can’t carry children. My medical conditions would pose serious risks to both myself and the baby. It was a painful reality I had to come to terms with."

Considering Adoption or Surrogacy? Gomez shared that she has now reached a point of acceptance and is exploring alternative paths to parenthood, including adoption and surrogacy. “I always thought it would happen naturally, like it does for most people. But I’m in a much better headspace now. I see it as a blessing that there are amazing individuals willing to help with surrogacy or adoption. Both are very real options for me. I’m eager to see where this journey takes me, even if it looks different from what I initially imagined. In the end, it won’t matter how—it’ll be my baby," she expressed. Speaking about Benny, Selena said, "I've never felt this kind of love before. He’s been a true source of light in my life. He’s my best friend, and I love sharing everything with him.”
