Selena Gomez, 32, is proving she’s stronger than ever and isn’t here to play the victim. At a recent Women in Film dinner, the Only Murders in the Building star made headlines for her powerful comments. A clip from the event has been circulating on social media, where Selena confidently says,
“I believe there’s power in being vulnerable and asking for help when you need it. That’s not something to be ashamed of.”

Sitting next to her 11-year-old sister, Gracie, she boldly added, “Yeah, I shared that I can’t carry a child. Yeah, I shared I have bipolar. That’s my life. That’s who I am. Screw anyone who calls you a victim. You’re a survivor in my book.”

Selena recently opened up about her struggles with pregnancy in an interview with Vanity Fair on September 9. She revealed that due to her health history, she won’t be able to have children naturally. The Wizards of Waverly Place star was diagnosed with lupus in 2013 and underwent a kidney transplant in 2017.
“I have a lot of medical issues that could put both my life and the baby’s life at risk,” she explained. “It was something I had to grieve.”
Since 2023, Selena has been romantically linked with music producer Benny Blanco. The couple went public in December last year, sharing cozy Instagram photos. Benny, 36, recently shared on The Howard Stern Show that he’s always wanted to be a father, calling it his next big goal after marrying Selena.

Despite not being able to carry a child herself, Selena is sure she wants to be a mother. She’s seriously considering surrogacy and adoption, describing both as “a blessing.”
“There are so many wonderful people willing to help through surrogacy or adoption, and I’m really thankful for that,” Selena shared. “I’m one of those people who’s dying to be a mom, and now I know there are other ways to make that dream come true.”
