Hoda Kotb sends message to Selena Gomez, who revealed she can’t carry her own children

After actress Selena Gomez revealed she can’t carry her own children in an interview with Vanity Fair , Hoda Kotb is sending her a message.

While co-hosting the third hour of Today, Kotb let Gomez know she’s not alone.

While talking with Vanity fair, Gomez admitted she had to grieve the idea that she wouldn’t be able to build her family in the way she “envisioned it.”

“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she told Vanity Fair. “That was something I had to grieve for a while.”

“It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it,” Gomez continued. “I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone,” Gomez said of carrying a child.

It’s a feeling Kotb said she knows all too well.

“You know how you kind of write your story in your head? ‘I’ll get married sometime here or there or at this age, and then I’ll have kids,’ and you can kind of imagine it?” she asked Jenna Bush Hager.

“I think that was probably the toughest part, is like, you know that you can see it,” Kotb continued before praising Gomez for being “mature” and “cool” about letting go of that dream.

“Then she realized there are other ways of having a family,” Kotb added. “And she says she does plan to start with surrogacy or adoption.”

Kotb is a proud mom of two daughters, Hope Catherine and Haley Joy. She adopted both.

“Families come in so many different shapes and sizes,” Kotb shared, saying “they are your kids” regardless of how you bring them into your life, “a hundred thousand percent.”

Gomez also shared that sentiment in her interview with Vanity Fair. “I’m in a much better place with that,” the actress continued.

“I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,” Gomez continued. “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different. At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
