Newlywed Selena Gomez has repeated her desire to have children "one day".
Selena Gomez wants to have children "one day".
The 33-year-old singer-and-actress - who recently married producer Benny Blanco - has shared a very personal reaction to the revelation on the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place season two finale that Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) is the daughter of her character Alex Russo.
Selena - who first starred in Wizards of Waverly Place in 2007 when she was just 15 years old - shared a clip from the show on her Instagram Story and wrote: “Alex Russo is a mommy [teary eyed emoji]. Hopefully one day that’ll be me.”
After the episode aired, Selena and Janice, 15, admitted the revelation had been emotional for them both.
In an interview on Disney Channel's YouTube page, Janice said: “It was very emotional, especially for me and her after the table read."
Her co-star added: “We were just puddles."
In August, Selena praised the sequel series as a "new, refreshing take" on the original and admitted she had enjoyed returning to "an older version of Alex".
She added on the Therapuss podcast: "[Alex] ultimately shaped who I am, because I feel like I am Alex."
The Only Murders in the Building star admitted earlier this year she is "excited" to start a family.
She said on the Jay Shetty Podcast: "I don’t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore.
"I love making [children] laugh; they're just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I’m so excited for it."
Benny, 37, observed that Selena is the "ultimate level of shy" but noted that her demeanour changes when she's around children.
He said: "When she walks into a room, her main goal is to disappear into the crowd. My mom is very similar, [she] and my mom are very similar.
"They’ll wait and say like one thing throughout the night that winds up being the most poignant or funny thing of the night. But I'm gonna have diarrhoea of the mouth talking to everyone.
"Whenever there’s kids at a place it's the only time I see her do that. She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids."
Meanwhile, Selena previously revealed that she may not be able to have a safe pregnancy, due to the medication she takes to treat bipolar disorder but had already considered surrogacy and adoption.
The Emilia Perez star told Vanity Fair magazine: "I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.
"It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people."
