Selena Gomez just made us say “aww” again! On October 9, 2025, the 33-year-old actress took to Instagram after appearing in the Wizards of Waverly Place sequel, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, and posted a clip of her character Alex Russo as a mom. “Alex Russo is a mommy. Hopefully one day that’ll be me,” she wrote on the post, giving fans a glimpse into her private dreams of being a mother.
In the new series, Alex’s daughter Billie Russo is played by 15-year-old Janice LeAnn Brown, with whom Gomez shares a sweet bond off-screen. The two got emotional during the finale’s table read, proving that their connection goes beyond being coworkers on the show. Selena Gomez later told Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast on August 7, 2025, that revisiting her Alex role felt like “a refreshing new take” and reminded her how much it shaped her.
Selena Gomez’s wish for motherhood isn’t new! In March this year, she and her husband, producer Benny Blanco, gushed on the Jay Shetty Podcast about wanting a family. They tied the knot on September 27, 2025, in Montecito, California, and the Emilia Pérez actress said she can’t wait for the day she becomes a mom.
