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 ā€œGiving 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, ā€œI hope to be married and to be a mom.ā€

Continuing, she said, ā€œEventually, I’m going to be tired of all of this, so I’m 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.

ā€œI have to basically watch this little person grow into a human being. There’s no better feeling in the world. I kind of feel like a parent in a way, even though I’m not,ā€ she said.

Psalm 127:3 says, ā€œBehold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.ā€

This isn’t the first time Gomez got candid about her desire to have a family.

In June, she spoke to the Hollywood Reporter’s podcast ā€œAwards Chatterā€ and shared what she would be doing if she never left Texas for Hollywood.

ā€œI would have four kids, for sure. Maybe not planned, maybe planned, maybe both. And there’s nothing wrong with the life I would have led… I just know that that’s not my path, and I’m 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.

ā€œI don’t know, obviously when that time comes I’ll decide, but of course I like having a big family,ā€ she said.
