In Vanity Fair interview, Only Murders in the Building actor says her ongoing medical issues mean pregnancy ‘would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy’Selena Gomez has revealed she will be unable to carry a child to term due to her ongoing medical issues, which would mean pregnancy would pose a risk to both herself and a foetus.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Only Murders in the Building actor and former Disney star said she had planned to start a family by the time she turned 35.
“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she 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.”
The 32-year-old didn’t specify which medical issue in the interview, but she has previously spoken publicly about being diagnosed with lupus in 2015, a disease where the immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. A year later she was also diagnosed with anxiety and depression, which can be linked to both lupus and some medications taken to manage the condition.
