Selena Gomez seems to have family planning on her mind, just weeks after her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber revealed that his wife Hailey is expecting their first child.
The Only Murders in the Building star, 31, recently revealed that she had planned to adopt a child herself if she hadn’t met the right partner by age 35.
“I was alone for five years and I really got used to it,” Selena said at the Time 100 Most Influential Companies event.
“A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself mentally for two years being alone, and then I accepted it.
“Then I came up with my plan: I was going to adopt at 35 if I hadn’t met anyone,” she said.
And then she met her musician boyfriend Benny Blanco, 36, last year and followed that plot twist into the love they share today.
She came up with the ‘plan’ before meeting her current boyfriend Benny Blanco, 36.
Benny recently spoke about starting a family with the singer on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show.
“She’s the coolest, the kindest and the sweetest,” Benny said of Selena. “She’s really like my best friend… we laugh all damn day.”
When asked about having children, Benny said, “That’s my next goal [to check] the box.” I have many godchildren, I have a lot of nephews. I love being around children.’
Howard then asked Benny when he was going to propose to the Wizards of Waverly Place star.
“When I look at her, I always say, ‘I don’t know a world that could be better than this one,’” he gushed.
Later, Howard said he predicted marriage in the future and Benny responded, “You and me both.”
Selena was asked about her feelings on that exchange.
‘You can’t lie to save your life. If they ask him a question, he will answer it,” Gómez said at the Time 100 event.
Benny recently spoke about starting a family with the singer on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show.
‘I just cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
A source recently told ET, “They are excited about continuing to grow together and get closer.”
They also added that “Benny thinks Selena is amazing” and that “he loves that Benny wants the best for people and protects them.”
From the looks of it, they also have the support of their loved ones. “They make each other happy and their friends and family are delighted for them,” the source stressed.
Selena’s recent revelations about adoption and future motherhood come shortly after her ex Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey announced they were expecting their first child.
Earlier this month, Gomez’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey announced that they were expecting their first child.
Justin and Selena dated on and off between 2010 and 2018.
Following their final breakup, Justin caused a stir when he quickly turned his attention to Hailey, before marrying her in September 2018.
Two weeks ago, Hailey announced the joy of her pregnancy with a beautiful video showing off her baby bump in a custom Saint Laurent lace wedding dress by Anthony Vaccarello, paired with a flowy veil, as she and Bieber renewed their vows in Hawaii.
Gomez had yet to publicly comment on the pregnancy, but that same day she took to Instagram to share a photo of herself holding hands with her new man, Benny.
