Selena Gomez has been equally open about her own path to motherhood, though it may not be a traditional one. In a 2024 Vanity Fair interview, she shared for the first time that she likely can’t carry a pregnancy herself due to serious health risks. Living with lupus and bipolar disorder, and taking life-saving medication, has forced her to consider other options. “That was something I had to grieve for a while,” she said, but made it clear: she still dreams of having a child.
Selena Gomez has always wanted a family, but due to health complications, the star will be exploring adoption or surrogacy—when she’s ready.

Adoption and surrogacy are definitely on the table for Selena, who said, “It’ll look a little different… but it’ll be mine.” Her mom was adopted, which she calls a blessing, making the idea feel even more personal. She remains full of hope and ready to build a family in her own way. With Benny in her corner—and a joint album the pair released, titled “I Said I Love You First”— this might just be the ultimate parent and musical couple goals.
Beyond baby dreams, Benny shared how his mom’s dating struggles taught him to be a more emotionally aware partner. “A woman will tell you exactly what she needs,” he said, encouraging men to actually listen. With his sweet insights and Selena Gomez’ strength, this power couple seems ready to write their own love story, baby carriage included.
