Selena Gomez has opened up about her future motherhood plans, two years after revealing significant health issues. The beauty mogul discussed her Rare Impact Funding initiative at the Fast Company Innovation Festival in NYC, expressing pride in the charitable endeavor.

Gomez, who has been transparent about her struggles with lupus and bipolar disorder, stated that she will "eventually" have children. "I think what makes me proud is knowing that we're truly making a difference…I think there's a bunch of stigma around everything," she explained. "I have a 13-year-old sister who means the world to me, and eventually I'll have my own children, and this is something that I don't want to be taboo." She concluded, "I don't mind if people think it's 'out there,' but I love what we have accomplished, and I think we'll just continue to grow in that manner and hopefully continue to do great things."

These comments follow closely on the heels of her husband, Benny, sharing his eagerness to start a family, less than a year after their wedding. Benny revealed on a show that he was "pressing" to begin their family, and further elaborated on his readiness for fatherhood on the Open Book with Jenna podcast. "Some of the negative things from my childhood are what helped me really get where I want to be and gave me the courage and bravery to do something different," Benny shared. "I'm not afraid. I mean, I of course want to be the best parent, the best partner. I'm excited when that day finally comes."

The 38-year-old added, "I'm convinced that when that finally does happen, I am going to make mistakes, and that's okay. Failure in real life, that's what's going to make my kid, that's what's going to screw 'em up a little, but that's what's going to make them special." He continued, "I do think it's important, because we all have those blemishes on our report card, but that's what makes it look so good when you did have that blemish, and then you're like, now I have an 'A'."

In 2024, Gomez disclosed that due to her various health issues, including lupus and bipolar disorder, she was unable to carry children naturally. "I haven't ever said this, but I unfortunately can't carry my own children," she revealed. "I 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."

The 34-year-old star has since found peace with this reality. "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…At the end of the day, I don't care. It'll be mine. It'll be my baby." Gomez concluded, "It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I'm one of those people. I'm excited for what that journey will look like, but it'll look a little different."
