Selena Gomez Wants to Break 'Taboo' by Having Own Children 'Eventually'

Selena Gomez linked her family hopes to Rare Impact Fund’s mental health work and said medical issues make pregnancy risky.

  • Selena Gomez, 34, reaffirmed her commitment to becoming a mother during the Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York City on Thursday, stating she expects to have children "eventually" despite previously disclosing that she cannot carry them herself.
  • Gomez previously disclosed in 2024 that medical issues prevent her from carrying a pregnancy safely; she admitted that processing this reality took time, though she remains determined to start a family through non-traditional paths like adoption or surrogacy.
  • Advocating for mental health through her Rare Impact Fund, she aims to raise $100 million over 10 years to reduce the "taboo" around non-traditional motherhood, citing her 13-year-old sister as a key inspiration.
  • Benny Blanco, the singer's husband, recently spoke publicly about his eagerness to become a father, describing his own "full-court press" regarding family planning while the couple has not yet announced a specific timeline.
  • To ensure future generations do not perceive these topics as stigmatized, Gomez intends to expand conversations around mental health, viewing her advocacy work as a way to "truly make a difference" globally.
