Selena Gomez has revealed that she ‘can’t carry’ children due to medical reasons.

The Lose You to Love Me hitmaker, 32 — who recently surprised a Colorado high school volleyball team — told Vanity Fair on Monday that she had to ‘grieve’ her inability to become a mother naturally.

‘I haven’t ever said this,’ she told the publication, ‘but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. 

‘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.

Although her path to motherhood will ‘look different’, the actress insists she wants to be one someday.

She told the outlet: ‘It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone.

‘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. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different,’ she said.

Selena expressed that through surrogacy or adoption, the child will be ‘mine.’

‘At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,’ she expressed.

The Wizards of Waverly Place star had stressed her firm desire to be a mother at age 35 even before dating her current partner, music producer Benny Blanco.

‘Before I met my boyfriend, I was single for five years, with the exception of going on a few dates. And I was like, “Okay, if this is the vibe, then what is the most important thing to me? Family.”‘ she shared of her plans. 

She and the 36-year-old — who produced her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber’s 2021 hit Lonely — began privately dating midway through 2023.

Blanco recently expressed his desire to have children with Selena while on The Howard Stern Show.

‘That’s my next goal, to check the box. I love being around kids,’ he said.
