Actress and singer Selena Gomez plans to one day leave her career to focus on becoming a wife and mother.
The 30-year-old appeared on the Tatatu video podcast āGiving Back Generationā on Friday, PageSix reports.
Speaking with hosts and longtime friends Raquelle Stevens and Ashley Cook about her dream for the future, Gomez replied, āI hope to be married and to be a mom.ā
Continuing, she said, āEventually, Iām going to be tired of all of this, so Iām probably just going to devote most of my life to philanthropy before I peace out.ā
Gomez also spoke about her 8-year-old half-sister, Grace Teefy, who has put things into perspective for her.
āI have to basically watch this little person grow into a human being. Thereās no better feeling in the world. I kind of feel like a parent in a way, even though Iām not,ā she said.
Psalm 127:3 says, āBehold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.ā
This isnāt the first time Gomez got candid about her desire to have a family.
In June, she spoke to the Hollywood Reporterās podcast āAwards Chatterā and shared what she would be doing if she never left Texas for Hollywood.
āI would have four kids, for sure. Maybe not planned, maybe planned, maybe both. And thereās nothing wrong with the life I would have led⦠I just know that thatās not my path, and Iām really grateful I had my mom to give me that opportunity to be what I want to be,ā she said.
In 2013, Gomez spoke in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on whether she wanted a big family in the future.
āI donāt know, obviously when that time comes Iāll decide, but of course I like having a big family,ā she said.
