For 31-year-old Selena Gomez, founder of Rare Beauty, life presented an unexpected turn of events. In a candid interview with Time magazine, the pop sensation revealed a personal decision that was close to her heart before romance blossomed with 36-year-old music producer Benny Blanco. Gomez shared that, had their paths not crossed, she was fully prepared to embrace motherhood through adoption in the coming years.
Having lived alone for five years, Gomez grew accustomed to her independence. While many fear solitude, she turned inward, facing two years of self-imposed introspection before reaching acceptance. In embracing her alone time, Gomez charted a future for herself, one that potentially included a child she would call her own. The actress detailed her resolve to adopt if love didn't find her by the age of 35, showcasing her strength and readiness to build a family on her own terms.
Gomez's recount of her life before Benny highlights the unpredictability of love and life's plans.
Describing her relationship with Blanco, she recalls how their friendship took a romantic turn, catching them both off guard. "It only happens when you least expect it," she shared, indicating the serendipitous nature of their love story.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in May, Blanco opened up about his relationship with Gomez and what he sees for their future.
In the same interview, Stern asked Blanco, “When will you propose? You should make the announcement now. When are you going to propose to your very famous girlfriend Selena?”After a laugh, Blanco admitted, “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.

The star then went on to reveal that the pair’s first anniversary is coming up and is “right around her birthday [July 22],” adding that he has “some really good stuff” planned for the actress.
