Selena Gomez is making waves with her powerful message about vulnerability and strength! At a recent Women in Film dinner, the 32-year-old star of Only Murders in the Building addressed critics who shamed her for revealing that she can’t carry children. A clip from the event has gone viral, showcasing her unapologetic stance.
“I truly believe there is power in being vulnerable and asking for help,” she stated, sitting alongside her 11-year-old sister, Gracie. “I shared that I can’t carry a child. Yeah, I shared I have bipolar. F*** off! That’s my life. That’s who I am. Screw anyone who tells you you’re a victim. You’re a survivor in my book,” Gomez asserted.
Selena has been open about her health struggles, including her lupus diagnosis in 2010, which led to a kidney transplant in 2017. In her recent Vanity Fair cover story, she explained that her medical history complicates the possibility of carrying a pregnancy safely. Despite the emotional toll of realizing she may not bear children herself, Gomez remains hopeful about motherhood through adoption or surrogacy, describing these paths as “blessings.”
On the personal front, Selena has been dating music producer Benny Blanco since 2023, and he has expressed a desire to become a father in the future. Describing him as a bright light in her life, she emphasized their deep friendship and shared dreams.
Professionally, Selena is busy with season 4 of OMITB, which has already been renewed for a fifth season, and she’s also working on the project Emilia Perez. With her fierce spirit and unwavering authenticity, Selena
Gomez continues to inspire many.
