“Alex Russo is a mommy. Hopefully one day that’ll be me,” wrote Selena Gomez in one of her recent Instagram stories, where she shared a video of herself and her on-screen daughter (played by Janice LeAnn Brown).
Gomez shared the story after the finale of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place that shocked all the fans of the show. Why shocked? It turns out that Alex Russo, the beloved Disney character, is a mom.
The well-known original Wizards of Waverly Place, which aired in 2007 on Disney Channel, tells the story of a family with magic powers. Alex, Justin, and Max Russo are the three teenagers who navigate an ordinary life, helping their parents run a sandwich shop, going to school, and learning how to use magic. The show quickly became popular after its release, with fans still talking about it many years later. Its popularity contributed to the production of a new season, the above-mentioned Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
In a new series, Gomez’s character Alex Russo became a mom, which quickly intrigued fans all over the world. However, no specific details have been mentioned, such as who the dad is. But that’s not the only thing that intrigued internet users. Some also got astounded by what Selena shared in her story, where she said that she wants to be a mom one day.
The singer, actress, and founder of Rare Beauty previously stated that she can’t have kids on her own due to her health struggles. “I haven’t ever said this … but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” said a Grammy-nominated singer in an interview with Vanity Fair. “I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy.” But despite this, the Murders in the Building actress is optimistic about starting a family with her husband, Benny Blanco, an American producer and songwriter who wrote hits such as “Teenager Dream” (Katy Perry), “Tik Tok” (Kesha), and Señorita (Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello). Blanco also produced some of Selena Gomez’s songs, including “Single Soon”, “Kill Em with Kindness”, “I Can’t Get Enough”, and “Younger and Hotter Than Me”.
Despite challenges, Selena’s openness about her hopes of becoming a mom has resonated with many fans who admire her honesty and determination and are ready to support her through anything.
The Wizards Beyond Waverly Place actress, however, keeps her spirits up. She recently got married, works on her acting projects, and makes her fans happy with her Rare Beauty cosmetic products. According to recent evaluations, the makeup brand is valued at more than US$2 billion and has become a fan-favorite. Lip, eye, and face products, body care, and the recently launched perfume, designed with inclusivity in mind, have made the brand stand out among others in the cosmetics world.
While now Selena is head over heels in both love after getting married and work, the fans are hopeful that she and her husband will become parents soon.
