Selena Gomez just dropped some major bombshells about her future, and fans are in for a rollercoaster! While rumors of a pregnancy with Benny Blanco had everyone buzzing, Selena has now set the record straight in an emotional interview that’s breaking hearts. The singer revealed that she can’t carry her own children due to health issues, and fans are rallying behind her with love and support. But that’s not all.
Selena Gomez may have just broken the hearts of fans everywhere. For a while, there’s been growing excitement and speculation about her possibly starting a family and showing off that baby bump. However, Selena recently put those rumors to rest, revealing that it’s not happening—and the reason is heartbreaking.
According to reports, Selena’s unable to get pregnant. As devastating as it is, she’s not holding back and is sharing her emotional journey with fans.
She recently spoke with Vanity Fair and revealed that her health has always been an issue for her. She said, “I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy.”
However, she hasn’t given up on the idea of being a mother. Selena’s still into the idea of adoption. She said, “It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it, but I’m in a much better place with that.” She further added, “I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption. I’m excited for what that journey will look like.”
Since Selena candidly revealed her heartbreaking news about not being able to get pregnant, fans have flooded her with love and support. One person wrote, “This breaks my heart for her. I’m happy that she is in a better place with this though and in the future, if and when she’s ready to experience motherhood in the way she chooses to, I know she will be the best and most sweetest mom sending so much lover her way, always.”
In case you didn’t know, Selena has been pretty open about her medical issues. The singer was first diagnosed with Lupus back in 2014. Though she wanted to keep the news hidden, she eventually came out and talked about it because she was getting a lot of backlash owing to her body weight. Gomez went ahead and dropped the bomb in 2015, saying, “I was diagnosed with lupus, and I’ve been through chemotherapy. That’s what my break was really about.” She also said, “My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, going through very public heartbreaks—these were all things that honestly should have taken me down.” A short while later, a bunch of Selena’s photos surfaced on the internet. And fans showed no mercy. They all came for her and criticized her for the insane weight she had put on.
Of course, Selena didn’t like it one bit. She later revealed how all the hatred and negative comments made her feel. She wrote, “I was being shamed for gaining weight because of my lupus. I lied,” Gomez said. “I would go online, and I would post a picture of myself, and I would say, ‘it doesn’t matter.’ I’m not accepting what you’re saying,’ all the while being in the room posting that, crying my eyes out, because nobody deserves to hear those things.”
She also made an Instagram post in March 2018, with the caption, “The beauty myth- an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty.” Gomez further said, “I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone.”
Selena also revealed that her phases of depression would last for weeks and even months.
“It just was me not being able to move from my bed. I didn’t want anyone to talk to me. My friends would bring me food because they love me, but none of us knew what it was,” she said. “Sometimes it was weeks I’d be in bed, to where even walking downstairs would get me out of breath.”
Gomez also revealed that the depression took a toll on her to the point that she would often consider unaliving herself. She told Rolling Stone “There was no part of me that was there anymore. was like, ‘OK, if I can just do that for one person, imagine what it could do. Eventually I just kind of went for it. I just said, ‘Yes.'”
Selena also said that if the two did get married in the future, she won’t run and change her name. Gomez said, “I’m not changing my name no matter what. I am Selena Gomez. That’s it.”
