Selena Gomez seems to have babies on her mind lately. The 33-year-old singer and actress got emotional while saying goodbye to her Wizards Beyond Waverly Place journey. On Thursday, October 9, 2025, she posted a touching story on Instagram showing the scene where her character, Alex Russo, is revealed to be the mother of Billie Russo, played by Janice LeAnn Brown. Along with the clip, she wrote, “Alex Russo is a mommy. Hopefully one day that’ll be me,” adding a soft and heartwarming emoji that summed up her feelings.
This isn’t the first time Selena has talked about her dream of becoming a mom. She’s always been open about wanting kids and building a family of her own. Ever since she married music producer Benny Blanco, fans have been eager to see when the two might take that next step. In a previous conversation with Jay Shetty, Selena talked about how much she adores children and how excited she is for that phase of her life. “I don’t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I love making them laugh, they’re just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I’m so excited for it,” she said. Benny, who was with her during the podcast, agreed wholeheartedly and shared how much he loved seeing her around kids.
For now, Selena is closing one beautiful chapter of her career. Wizards Beyond Waverly Place season 2 is streaming on Disney+, but it appears that she won’t be returning as Alex Russo again. The latest episode made it pretty clear that her story had come to a natural end, even though Disney hasn’t made an official statement yet. Fans are already emotional over her goodbye, given how big a part the original show played in their childhoods.
Meanwhile, Selena and Benny have been keeping things private after their intimate wedding ceremony, attended only by close family and friends. Taylor Swift, one of Selena’s dearest friends, reportedly gave a heartfelt speech during the celebration, recalling how their friendship has stood strong since 2008. Selena’s post about wanting to be a mom someday feels like a glimpse into her next dream, one that fans can’t wait to see her fulfill.
