Selena Gomez Discusses Struggles with Parenthood Options

Selena Gomez has revealed in a recent Vanity Fair interview that she is unable to carry her own children due to medical issues that could jeopardize her life and that of a baby. This revelation comes after facing intense public scrutiny following her ex, Justin Bieber's, announcement of impending fatherhood, which led to speculation about her own plans for motherhood. Gomez expressed that she has had to grieve this reality, but she remains hopeful about becoming a mother through surrogacy or adoption, stating, 'I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption.' She emphasized the importance of these alternative paths in her journey to motherhood and shared her contentment in her current relationship with music producer Benny Blanco. The emotional challenges associated with her situation highlight a broader conversation around grief and the societal expectations of motherhood. Gomez's story sheds light on the often-overlooked pain of women who face barriers to traditional pregnancy.
