Selena Gomez Opens Up About Being Unable to Carry Her Own Children: 'That Was Something I Had to Grieve'
Selena Gomez is getting candid about her desire to be a mom, revealing in a new interview published Monday, Sept. 9, that she's unable to carry her own children but that surrogacy or adoption 'are both huge possibilities for me'
Gomez was diagnosed with lupus sometime between 2012 and early 2014. In September 2017, she revealed on Instagram that she had withdrawn from public events during the previous few months because she had received a kidney transplant from actress and friend Francia Raisa.[625][626][627] During the transplant, an artery broke and emergency surgery was conducted to build a new artery using a vein from her leg.[628][629][630]
Gomez has been open about her struggles with both anxiety and depression. She began pursuing therapy in her early twenties and also spent time in treatment facilities. When she reached 100 million Instagram followers, Gomez said she "sort of freaked out" and has since taken several extended breaks from social media, due in part to negative comments.[631] In April 2020, she revealed she has bipolar disorder.[632][633]
In October 2022, Gomez canceled an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after testing positive for COVID-19.[634] In November 2022, she revealed that she had an episode of psychosis in 2018.[420]
