"Only Murders In The Building" star Selena Gomez revealed that her ongoing health issues make it dangerous for her to carry her own children should she plan to have them.
The actor and singer shared the information in an interview with Vanity Fair published Monday while discussing her role in the film "Emilia Pérez." Gomez, 32, plays a young mother in the crime-musical.
It was also brought up as Gomez was asked about her relationship with songwriter Benny Blanco, who told Howard Stern in May that he wants to have kids in the future.
Gomez said her chronic health issues, which include a lupus diagnosis she has shared publicly, make it risky for her to carry a baby to term.
"I haven’t ever said this but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children," Gomez said. "I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
