Selena Gomez, known for her openness about mental health and personal struggles, is once again making headlines. In a viral clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), the singer and actress responded to critics who recently shamed her for revealing that she cannot carry children due to health issues. Gomez’s heartfelt message at the Women in Film dinner emphasized the strength in being vulnerable and standing by who you truly are.
Selena Addresses Health Struggles
The 32-year-old actress spoke candidly about her challenges while attending the Women in Film event, where she reminded people that vulnerability does not equate to weakness. “I truly believe there is power in being vulnerable and telling everyone you need help,” Gomez shared in the clip. She further explained her journey, stating, “I shared that I can’t carry a child. Yeah, I shared I have bipolar. F*** off! That’s what my life is. That’s who I am.”

Selena Gomez‘s comments struck a chord with many, leading to widespread praise on social media for her honesty. The viral moment came after she opened up in an interview with Vanity Fair, where she revealed her health history and how it has impacted her ability to carry a pregnancy.
Health Complications Preventing Pregnancy
In her Vanity Fair cover story, Gomez shared sensitive details about her health, explaining that she cannot give birth because of her medical condition. Diagnosed with lupus in 2010, Gomez underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 as part of her treatment. Her health complications, combined with her diagnosis of bipolar disorder, mean she requires potent medications that could harm a developing fetus.
The revelation that she cannot carry a child was difficult for the singer, and she admitted that she had to “grieve for a while.” However, Gomez remains optimistic about becoming a mother through other avenues. She described adoption and surrogacy as blessings and exciting possibilities for her future.
Gomez’s Personal and Professional Life
Selena Gomez is not letting health challenges deter her personal happiness. Since 2023, she has been dating music producer Benny Blanco, with whom she went public last December. Their relationship has been filled with support and love, as Blanco has spoken openly about his desire to become a father. He even mentioned his hopes of starting a family with Gomez during an interview on The Howard Stern Show earlier this year.
In her Vanity Fair interview, Gomez expressed how much her relationship with Blanco means to her, calling him a source of light in her life. The two have shared many joyful moments, and Gomez is optimistic about their future together, whether that includes children through adoption, surrogacy, or other means.
Future Projects
On the work front, Selena Gomez continues to shine in the entertainment industry. She is currently starring in the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building (OMITB) on Hulu. The show has already been renewed for a fifth season, indicating its continued success. In addition to her role on OMITB, Gomez is busy with her upcoming film, Emilia Perez, which has kept her schedule full.
