It’s been a whirlwind year for Selena Gomez! After recently tying the knot with music producer Benny Blanco and saying goodbye to her iconic role on Wizards of Waverly Place, the 33-year-old star is now openly sharing her dreams about the next significant chapter in her life: motherhood.
Selena recently took to Instagram to express her heartfelt emotions while commemorating the sequel series, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. In a touching moment shared on her story, where her character Alex Russo is shown as a mother, Selena wrote, “Alex Russo is a mommy. Hopefully one day that’ll be me,” complete with a sweet emoji that perfectly conveyed her anticipation.
Fans have long been aware of Selena’s strong desire to start a family. In a previous candid conversation with Jay Shetty, she spoke passionately about her aspirations for motherhood: “I don’t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I love making [children] laugh, they’re just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I’m so excited for it.” Benny Blanco, present during the conversation, echoed her sentiments, sharing in her enthusiasm for children and sparking fans’ imaginations about what their future family might look like.
Looking Ahead: Career and Motherhood
While Selena made a memorable return as Alex Russo for two parts in the Wizards Beyond Waverly Place sequel, her character’s arc seems to have concluded with the latest episode. Although there have been no official announcements regarding her potential return, the way her character’s story wrapped up suggests her journey with the series may be complete.
