Selena Gomez Opens Up About Wanting to Have Kids Someday: “Hopefully One Day That’ll Be Me”
Selena Gomez has never been afraid to show her heart — and this time, she’s opening up about one of her biggest hopes for the future: becoming a mother. The singer and actress, now 33, reflected on her journey during a heartfelt Instagram Stories post celebrating her role in the upcoming Wizards of Waverly Place sequel series. But among the nostalgia and excitement, she gave fans a glimpse into a more personal dream — one that goes beyond fame, music, or acting.
The post came just days after her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco on September 27, a moment that fans have followed closely ever since the couple went public late last year. In her message, Selena shared a clip from her early days on the Disney Channel show that made her a household name. Alongside the clip, she wrote a touching caption about how fast life moves and how grateful she feels for the journey she’s had. Then came a line that struck everyone: “Hopefully one day that’ll be me — a mom watching her kids laugh the way we did back then.”
For longtime fans, the message felt deeply personal. Selena has often spoken about her nurturing nature and her desire to one day have children. In past interviews, she’s described motherhood as her “biggest dream,” even saying she’d be “completely okay” stepping away from the spotlight to focus on family life when that time comes. Now, as she enters this new chapter of marriage, it seems that dream feels closer than ever.
Selena and Benny’s relationship has been marked by its warmth and authenticity. From their quiet beginnings as collaborators to their now public love story, fans have seen a new side of Selena — one that’s softer, calmer, and deeply grounded. Her openness about wanting kids has only added to the admiration people feel toward her. “She’s always been maternal,” a close source told People. “Her friends say she’s happiest when she’s surrounded by family, cooking, and taking care of people.”
The timing of her reflection also connects beautifully with her return to Wizards of Waverly Place. For Selena, revisiting the show that shaped her youth isn’t just a professional project — it’s emotional closure. The original series ended in 2012, marking the end of her teenage years in the public eye. Now, more than a decade later, she’s back on set, not as the young star trying to prove herself, but as a woman who’s grown through love, loss, and self-discovery.
Her message about motherhood is more than a casual wish — it’s a sign of peace. After years of navigating fame, health challenges, and heartbreak, Selena seems to have found stability and joy in her personal life. Fans online flooded the post with support, with many writing messages like “You’ll be the best mom ever” and “Selena deserves all the love in the world.”
As Selena continues to build her life with Benny, her dreams of starting a family feel more real than ever. Whether that’s soon or years down the road, her journey shows that hope and love can grow even after everything life throws your way. And for someone who’s inspired millions with her strength, seeing her open up about something so human — the desire to nurture, to love, to raise a family — is a reminder that no matter how big the stage, the most beautiful dreams are often the simplest ones.
