Can't she have kids?: Selena Gomez pours out her heart

Millions of fans are at Selena Gomez's feet. But the 30-year-old herself suffers from problems with her psyche and her self-confidence. Because she is receiving medication for this, she now fears that she will not be able to carry children herself. And that's not all that weighs on the ex-Disney star.

In a new interview and her recently released documentary, Selena Gomez gives a deep insight into her private life. The 30-year-old doesn't mince words when it comes to what weighs on her soul.

The singer and actress now reveals in an interview with "Rolling Stone" that she will probably not be able to have children herself. The reason is the medication she is taking for her bipolar disorder.

Gomez reveals she cried in her car after visiting a friend because she realized she might never be able to carry babies herself. Gomez explains that the topic is currently playing a “very big, huge” role in her life. However, she hopes to be able to become a mother in a different way in the coming years: "However I should have her, I will have her."

In the interview, Gomez also talks about the psychological problems that have weighed on her for years. Even in her early twenties, she was plagued by such severe depression that she didn't get up for weeks. Thoughts of suicide also came to her head: "I just thought that the world would be better without me."

In 2018, Gomez said she went through a psychotic phase in which she began hearing voices. Her friends would not have recognized her during this time, says Gomez. Paranoid ideas and problems trusting others led to treatment lasting several months. Gomez says she's been to four treatment centers for her mental health issues.

In the Apple TV documentary "My Mind

Gomez had her first role at the age of 10, at 15 she played the female lead in the Disney series "Wizards of Waverly Place". As early as 2021, she explained in an interview that she had practically given her life to Disney with her signature.

The new documentary also details the former child star's struggles with other mental illnesses including anxiety disorders, panic attacks and a bipolar disorder, which Gomez was diagnosed with in 2020. Her lupus disease and the kidney transplant she underwent are also an issue. At the same time, the film explores how Gomez eventually learned to love and heal himself.

The publication of this very "raw material" about her life makes her nervous, Gomez explains in an interview with "Rolling Stone". "I don't want that to sound dramatic, but I almost didn't bring it out," she said. "A few weeks ago I wasn't sure if I could do it."
