In a heartwarming and candid interview with Vanity Fair, published on Monday, Selena Gomez shared her personal struggles with health issues that have led her to consider alternative paths to motherhood. The 32-year-old actress, singer, and Rare Beauty founder revealed that she is unable to carry a pregnancy due to her ongoing battles with lupus and bipolar disorder.
Gomez, who has been open about her health journey since her diagnosis with lupus in 2015, explained that her medical conditions would put her life and a baby’s life at risk during pregnancy. This realization led to a period of grief, as she came to terms with the fact that she would not be able to experience pregnancy in the way she had always imagined.
However, Gomez found solace in the options of surrogacy and adoption, expressing gratitude for the selfless individuals who make these paths possible. “I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,” she said.
The interview also touched on Gomez’s blossoming relationship with Benny Blanco, whom she affectionately described as her “best friend” and “a complete light” in her life. She playfully addressed Blanco’s recent comments on “The Howard Stern Show,” where he expressed his desire to marry her, saying, “After the interview, I was dying laughing. Like, ‘Anything else you wanted to put out there?'”
Gomez’s emotional interview offers a glimpse into her personal struggles and triumphs, showcasing her resilience and determination to build a life filled with love, purpose, and meaning.
