“I haven’t ever said this,” Gomez revealed in an interview, “but I can’t carry my own children. I have many medical issues that would put both my life and the baby’s life at risk. That was something I had to grieve for a while.” Despite this difficult reality, the 32-year-old is hopeful and grateful for alternatives like surrogacy and adoption, which she sees as a blessing. “It’s not how I imagined it, but I’m in a better place with it now. There are wonderful people who help others through surrogacy or adoption, and those are options I’m exploring.”
Gomez reflected on her changing perspective toward motherhood, acknowledging that her journey to becoming a parent may not be traditional, but it is something she looks forward to. “I’m excited about what the future holds. It’ll look different, but at the end of the day, I don’t mind. It will be my baby, no matter what.”
In addition to her reflections on family, Gomez touched on her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco, with whom she’s been publicly linked for over a year. Gomez admitted that she had been thinking about becoming a mother long before they began dating. “Before I met my boyfriend, I was single for five years, aside from a few dates. I asked myself, ‘What’s most important to me? Family.’”
