I can’t bear my own children – Selena Gomez

American singer and actress, Selena Gomez, has opened up about her private life.

In an interview with Vanity Fair published on Monday, she revealed that her ongoing health issues make it dangerous for her to carry her own children should she plan to have them.

Gomez, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2013 and got a kidney transplant in 2017, noted that she had not “ever said this” before publicly.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease, which means one’s immune system attacks the body and causes several complications, including organ damage.

The actress noted that despite the development, she still plans to have children and is grateful for the medical alternatives available to her.

She said: “I unfortunately … 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.

“It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. 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.”
