At the Toronto International Film Festival, Selena Gomez stunned in a black sequin gown at the *Emilia Perez* premiere, but behind the glamor, she revealed painful news: her health may prevent her from having biological children. “Having a kid would be a risk to my health and the baby’s,” she admitted, due to complications from lupus and her kidney transplant.
Despite the emotional weight of this, Gomez said she’s come to terms with it. “It’s a very big, big thing,” she shared. Now, she’s open to adoption or surrogacy. Her mother was adopted, which makes those options feel “very real and special.”
Her relationship with producer Benny Blanco is going strong after a year of dating. Although rumors swirl, Gomez clarified, “I’m not changing my name—I’m Selena Gomez,” emphasizing their grounded approach to love.
She’s also spoken openly about living with bipolar disorder and her 2017 kidney transplant. By sharing her journey, Gomez continues to connect with fans and raise awareness about chronic illness and mental health.
Through all this, she remains hopeful. Whether it’s acting, music, or building a family in her own way, Gomez is embracing the future: “I’m just enjoying where I am.”
