Selena Gomez reveals why she 'can't carry' her own children, days after becoming billionaire

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Selena Gomez has opened up about her desire to start a family someday and its subsequent complications.

During her interview with Vanity Fair, the ‘Rare’ singer revealed, “I haven’t ever said this, but 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. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”

Selena Gomez is grateful for other medical alternatives

The singer-turned-actress is however not discouraged and is ready to explore available alternatives.

Gomez explained, “It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. [But] I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,”

The optimistic 32-year-old said, “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”

Gomez was diagnosed with lupus in 2014 and had to go through a kidney transplant and chemotherapy.

The talented artist is now estimated to have a $1.3 billion fortune and is easily one of the youngest Hollywood personalities to get into the list, per Bloomberg.
