Selena Gomez has been “grieving” after some tragic news.
The songstress recently revealed that a potential pregnancy would put her life and the baby’s at risk, with Gomez instead looking to adoption and surrogacy for the future. The singer-songwriter, 32, opened up about her desire to become a parent in a recent interview.
Selena shared that due to medical issues, she can’t “carry her own children,” but is “thankful” for the other options available. Selena – who has previously spoken about various health struggles including having raised awareness around lupus – discussed her plans with Vanity Fair for the October issue of the monthly magazine.

Selena told the outlet that it’s not “necessarily” how she “envisioned” the prospect of becoming a parent, noting that she had thought it would be different. Gomez added that she’s in a “much better place” over it now.
Discussing options available to her, Selena said that she considers it “a blessing” that there are “wonderful people” open to surrogacy or adoption, which are “huge possibilities” for her. Gomez is “really thankful” for the “other outlets” for people who are “dying to be moms” just like her.

The Only Murders in the Building star said that she is “excited” for what her journey but added that it will “look a little different”. However, “at the end of the day,” Selena doesn’t “care” and the child will still be her baby.
It was noted in the article that before the songstress began her romance with producer Benny Blanco last year, Selena had a “firm plan” in place to start a family by the age of 35. She revealed that when reflecting on her life prior to the couple’s relationship, she realised that family is “the most important thing” to her.

Selena also mentioned her own mother, Mandy Teefey, having been adopted. She told the outlet that she doesn’t know what life would have been like otherwise, adding that they are both “very thankful” for how it “played out”.
