THE MOTHERHOOD MISCONCEPTION

In September, actress and beauty entrepreneur Selene Gomez made the headlines with the announcement that her ongoing health conditions prevent her from carrying a pregnancy safely. The former Disney star opened up about this in an interview with Vanity Fair, adding that she took time to grieve over the reality of not being able to bear her own children despite having plans to start a family at the age of 35. The 32-year-old star, who has openly discussed her battle with lupus and mental health challenges, did not mention a specific medical issue. Though Gomez remains hopeful about becoming a mother someday through either adoption or surrogacy, her story highlights the complex decisions women face today regarding family planning, influenced by personal health, career aspirations, and broader societal expectations.
