Selena Gomez feels "so excited" about the prospect of having children

The brunette beauty - who previously revealed that she isn't able to carry her own children - said on the 'Jay Shetty Podcast': "I don't know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore.

"I love making [children] laugh; they're just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I'm so excited for it."

Benny, 37, observed that Selena is the "ultimate level of shy". However, he noted that her demeanour changes when she's around children.

Benny said: "When she walks into a room, her main goal is to disappear into the crowd. My mom is very similar, [she] and my mom are very similar.

"They'll wait and say like one thing throughout the night that winds up being the most poignant or funny thing of the night. But I'm gonna have diarrhoea of the mouth talking to everyone.

"Whenever there's kids at a place it's the only time I see her do that. She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids."

Selena first found stardom as a child, and Benny believes that she still shares a connection with children.

The producer explained: "When you started doing this you were a kid and that was your way to connect to people and I feel like you still feel like you have that obligation to connect with young kids.

"You shaped so many young people's lives, whether it was 'Barney', 'Wizards of Waverly Place' ... you're still finding your way to do that."

Meanwhile, Selena previously revealed that she may not be able to have a safe pregnancy, due to the medication she takes to treat bipolar disorder.

Despite this, Selena still hopes to have children one day, revealing that she's already considered surrogacy and adoption.

The 'Emilia Perez' star told Vanity Fair magazine: "I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.

"It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I'm one of those people."
