Selena Gomez, a popular American singer and actress, has always been open about her desire to have children. Even before she started dating record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco, Gomez shared her family goals publicly. In 2022, she told Rolling Stone about her plans to settle down and have a family, whether through biological means or adoption. She mentioned that her bipolar disorder medication made conception challenging, but it didn’t diminish her hopes.
On TaTaTu’s Giving Back Generation, Gomez expressed her wish to marry and become a mother. She envisioned stepping out of the spotlight to focus on philanthropy and family life. Her plans were further discussed in a Time interview, where she talked about her unexpected relationship with Blanco. She mentioned that after five years of being single, she had decided to adopt by the age of 35 if she hadn’t met someone by then. Meeting Blanco changed her plans, as she stated, “It just happens when you least expect it.”
Both Gomez and Blanco share similar dreams about starting a family. In a May 14, 2024, interview with Howard Stern, Blanco revealed that having kids was his next goal. He expressed his love for being around children and his hopes of marrying Gomez, whom he has been dating since June 2023. When asked about proposing, he humorously replied that he wasn’t ready yet.
Gomez appreciates Blanco’s honesty, telling Time magazine, “He can’t lie to save his life.” After past heartbreaks, she is cautious about marriage but focuses on enjoying every moment with Blanco.
