Popular young actress and singer reveals she can’t have children

Selena Gomez, the former Disney star who currently stars in the Hulu hit “Only Murders in the Building,” said in a recent interview that she is unable to carry her own children due to medical issues.

“I’ve never said this before,” Gomez tells Vanity Fair. “But unfortunately, I can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s life at risk. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”

Gomez, 32, says in the article that she’s still looking forward to starting a family with her boyfriend, Benny Blanco.

“I thought it would happen like it happens for everyone else,” Gomez says. “I’m in a much better place. I think it’s a blessing that there are wonderful people out there who are willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge options for me. … At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’s going to be mine. It’s going to be my baby.”

Gomez was diagnosed with lupus in 2015.

Gomez, who rose to fame in 2007 when she starred in the Disney TV series “Wizards of Waverly Place,” has enjoyed success as a singer in addition to acting in various TV shows and films. Her first single as a solo artist, “Come and Get It,” reached No. 6 on the Billboard charts in 2013. Her first solo album, “Stars Dance,” reached No. 1. “Revival” in 2015 and “Rare” in 2020 also reached No. 1.

But Gomez has had the most success with her makeup and cosmetics brand Rare Beauty, which was launched in 2019. According to a report from Bloomberg, Gomez is one of the youngest people ever to be named a billionaire, with a net worth of $1.3 billion.

Gomez, who is the third-most followed person on Instagram with 424 million followers, also has endorsement deals with Puma and Coach for a reported $30 million and $10 million, respectively.
