Selena Gomez recently opened up about her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco, describing him as a light in her life and her best friend. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Gomez expressed that she has never felt loved in the way Blanco loves her. The couple has been romantically linked since December 2023 and has sparked engagement rumors, with Gomez sporting a ring on her finger and Blanco hinting at marriage in a previous interview.
Despite the engagement speculation, Gomez shared with Vanity Fair her challenges regarding starting a family due to her health concerns. The actress and singer, who has been candid about her lupus diagnosis, kidney transplant, and mental health struggles, revealed that she is unable to carry her own children due to medical issues that could endanger both her life and the baby's. This realization was a source of grief for Gomez, but she remains optimistic about the possibility of becoming a mother through surrogacy or adoption in the future.
Gomez emphasized that while her journey to motherhood may look different from what she initially envisioned, she is grateful for the alternative options available to individuals who aspire to be parents. She expressed excitement about the prospect of starting a family through surrogacy or adoption, acknowledging that it will be a unique and fulfilling path for her.
