American singer Selena Gomez has disclosed that she isn’t able to give birth to her own children.
The 32-year-old singer and actor revealed this in a cover interview with Vanity Fair.
Gomez says she’s had to “grieve” after finding out about her situation.
“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she told the publication.
“I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
Gomez has previously been open about her diagnosis with lupus, an incurable autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissue.
Symptoms can be managed using medication. In 2017, she revealed she had a kidney transplant linked to her lupus.
Additionally, the singer has been honest about battling bipolar disorder; this was discussed in her documentary, My Mind and Me.
Gomez revealed to Rolling Stone in 2022 that the medicine she takes for her bipolar disorder may prevent her from having a safe pregnancy.
In her interview with Vanity Fair, she said she wished to become a mother and that she is thinking about adopting a kid or using a surrogate.
“It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone,” she said.
“I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.
“It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people.”
She added: “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
Gomez is currently in a relationship with music producer Benny Blanco.
