Selena Gomez has been candid about her challenges with health conditions that prevent her from becoming a mother. She disclosed in an interview with Vanity Fair that she is unable to conceive naturally due to her medical issues, which include lupus, which poses a serious risk to her life and the lives of the unborn child. She thought back on her experience and said that, because she had always imagined motherhood to occur traditionally, it was first difficult to accept.
Gomez has accepted her circumstances despite this difficulty. She now views alternatives like adoption and surrogacy as blessings and is open to considering them. She said she’s enthusiastic about what lies ahead for her in this aspect, even though her journey to motherhood may not look like what she had anticipated.
Gomez’s lupus battles have been widely reported. The autoimmune illness was identified in 2014, and in 2017 she had a kidney transplant. Despite the unexpected and potentially fatal news, Gomez has inspired others going through similar medical struggles by using her platform to spread awareness about lupus and its repercussions.
In the end, Gomez maintains her optimism and gratitude for the contemporary options that are accessible to her, enabling her to continue pursuing her desire to have a child even though it will not be through the same channels as she had originally thought.
