Selena Gomez is hinting at her future plans to become a mother.

The singer-and-actress, 34, who is married to Benny Blanco, 38, shared a sweet photo of herself interacting with a baby on her Instagram Story, alongside the caption: ‘One day.’

Gomez, who has previously revealed she is unable to carry a child amid a years-long battle with autoimmune condition lupus, included an emoji with teary eyes as well as one with the thought balloon.

It’s not the first time she’s shown a desire to enter her era of parenthood.

Less than two weeks after tying the knot with A-list music producer Benny Blanco in 2025, the Emmy nominee made the remark while promoting season two of the Wizards Of Waverly Place sequel series, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

Gomez famously starred on the original Emmy-winning Disney Channel show, which aired from 2007 to 2012, as teenage witch Alex Russo. 

Taking to her Instagram Story, Gomez revealed that her character Alex is now a 'mommy' as she posted footage from the reboot's season finale.

'Alex Russo is a mommy,' Gomez penned, before adding: 'hopefully one day that'll be me'

The footage shows Gomez sharing an emotional moment with her onscreen daughter Billie, who is played by Janice LeAnn Brown.

In a behind-the-scenes clip posted to YouTube, Gomez gushed about her and Janice playing 'mother and daughter.'

'I really am grateful for this lovely Janice child,' Gomez said with a laugh.

Janice revealed that the initial table read for the season two finale, where Alex reveals to Billie that she is her mother, left her and Gomez in tears.

'It was very emotional, especially for me and her after the table read,' Janice said, with Gomez adding: 'We were just puddles.'

In September 2024, she revealed for the first time to Vanity Fair that she 'can't carry' children due to medical reasons.

She said she had to 'grieve' her inability to become a mother naturally after years of battling lupus, a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the body to attack itself.

'I haven't ever said this,' Gomez told the publication, 'but I unfortunately can't carry my own children.

'I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.'

While she acknowledged her path to motherhood will be 'different,' Gomez said she is still as determined as ever to have a child of her own.

'It's not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone,' she said.

'I'm in a much better place with that. 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. I'm excited for what that journey will look like, but it'll look a little different,' she said.

Selena expressed that through surrogacy or adoption, the child will be 'mine.'

'At the end of the day, I don't care. It'll be mine. It'll be my baby,' she expressed.

Gomez also spoke about the possibility of adopting in 2024 while attending a Time 100 Most Influential Companies event.

During the function, she revealed that she had planned to adopt a child herself if she hadn't met the right partner by age 35.

'I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it,' Gomez said of her time before dating Blanco.

'A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it.

'Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone,' she explained.

Blanco has also vocalized his desire to start a family with Gomez.

While appearing on Howard Stern's SiriusXM show last year, Blanco confessed that his 'next goal' is to have a child with Gomez.

'That's my next goal [to check] on the box. I have a lot of god kids, I've got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids,' he told Stern.
