Earlier this month, the former Disney Channel star opened up about adoption and surrogacy being “huge possibilities” for her while speaking to Vanity Fair.
“I unfortunately … have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the 𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚢’s in jeopardy,” Gomez explained in her cover story. “That was something I had to grieve for awhile.”
The singer has vocalized other struggles in the past.
She shared her lupus diagnosis in 2015.
She admitted, “It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone.”
The realization made the singer, who is currently dating Benny Blanco, “really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms.”
She told the magazine, “I’m one of those people. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different.”

Along with disclosing her fertility, Gomez has already spoken out about her mental health and lupus challenges.

In her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary “My Mind & Me,” which was filmed over a six-year period, she talked about it.
