Selena Gomez Reveals She May Not Be Able To Bear Children In The Future

Singer and actor Selena Gomez recently opened up about the possibility of her not being able to bear a child in the future.

During a recent appearance on the cover of Rolling Stone, Gomez revealed that it would be dangerous to bear children due to her bipolar disorder medication.

The 30-year-old explained that after she visited a friend trying to get pregnant she broke down in tears as she thought that having a child would not happen for her.

However, she added that she was hopeful that she would still be a mother through other means. Gomez said, “That’s a very big, big, present thing in my life… However I’m meant to have them, I will.”

Gomez has spoken about struggling with her physical and mental health. She was diagnosed with lupus and bipolar disorder.

She also spoke up about wanting to “make bipolar my friend” and attempted doing dialectical behaviour and cognitive behavioural therapy and visiting therapists.

In a 2020 interview with Elle magazine, Gomez said, “My lupus, my kidney transplant, chemotherapy, having a mental illness, going through very public heartbreaks – these were all things that honestly should have taken me down.”

The documentary film Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me about the singer and actor’s struggles with mental health was released yesterday, November 4. Gomez spoke about the documentary and said, “Because I have the platform I have, it’s kind of like I’m sacrificing myself a little bit for a greater purpose.”

She also revealed that she almost wasn’t going to put the documentary out. “I don’t want that to sound dramatic, but I almost wasn’t going to put this out. God’s honest truth, a few weeks ago, I wasn’t sure I could do it.”
