In a recent Vanity Fair interview, Gomez opened up about their relationship, emphasising the importance of individuality and mutual support.
“We always make sure we’re protecting what we have, but there are no rules. I want him to always be himself. I always want to be myself.
“I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything,” she told the publication.
She also spoke about her challenges in trying to have children due to medical complications.
“I haven’t ever said this, 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.”
The Rare hitmaker added that she is open to exploring other options, such as adoption.
“At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,” she shared.
