I havent ever said this but I unfortunately cant carry my own children, she said.
I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the babys in jeopardy.
That was something I had to grieve for a while.

In 2013, Gomez was diagnosed with lupus and later received a kidney transplant.
She went on to talk about the potential alternative pathways to becoming a mother, including surrogacy and adoption.
I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone, she continued.
[But] Im in a much better place with that.
It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms.
Im one of those people.
Im excited for what that journey will look like, but itll look a little different.
At the end of the day, I dont care.
Itll be my baby.
Gomez has spoken about wanting to adopt before.
Thats my next goal, to check the box.
I love being around kids, he told Howard Stern earlier this year.
I love telling him everything.
