Selena Gomez has offered a glimpse into her hopes for motherhood after sharing a heartwarming photo of herself with a newborn baby on social media.

The pop star, 34, shared the image on her Instagram Stories on Monday, September 7, alongside the simple caption: “one day..”

The emotional post appeared to hint at Gomez’s continuing hopes of becoming a mother, a subject she has discussed publicly in recent years.

Selena Gomez has spoken about wanting children

Gomez has previously opened up about her hopes of having children with her husband, Benny Blanco, 38.

During an appearance on the Jay Shetty Podcast in March, the couple discussed their hopes of starting a family.

Gomez said she loves children and enjoys making them laugh, adding that she is excited about experiencing motherhood whenever the time is right.

Blanco has also spoken warmly about Gomez’s relationship with children, previously describing how she naturally gravitates towards them and can spend hours talking with them.

While Gomez has expressed her desire to become a mother, she has also spoken candidly about the medical challenges surrounding pregnancy.

In a 2024 interview with Vanity Fair, the Only Murders in the Building star revealed that she is unable to carry a pregnancy herself because of medical issues that could put both her life and a baby’s life at risk.

Gomez said she had needed time to grieve the possibility that she would not be able to carry her own children.

Her comments highlighted the emotional impact of learning that pregnancy may not be a safe option for her, while also making clear that motherhood remains an important hope for her future.

Her latest Instagram Stories post appears to reflect those ongoing hopes, with the newborn image and the words “one day..” offering a brief but poignant glimpse into her dreams of starting a family.
