Selena Gomez is ready for her next role — being a mom.
In celebration of her finale episode on the “Wizards of Waverly Place” sequel, “Wizards Beyond Waverly Place,” she took to Instagram Story Thursday night with a sweet message.
“Alex Russo is a mommy,” she captioned a clip from the Season 2 finale, referring to her character.
“Hopefully one day that’ll be me.”
Gomez, 33, has been making brief cameos in the Disney+ show, which focuses on the new generation of wizards in Waverly Place, including a young Billie who is sent to live with Alex’s older brother, Justin, to be trained.
In the Season 2 finale, Billie is revealed to be Alex’s daughter — before Gomez’s character sacrifices herself by falling into a portal to save her family.
The “Kill Em with Kindness” singer’s post comes almost two weeks after she tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco in an intimate California wedding.

Back in March, Gomez and Blanco said on the “Jay Shetty” podcast that they can’t wait to start a family together.
“I don’t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children,” Gomez told host Jay Shetty. “I love making [children] laugh; they’re just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I’m so excited for it.”
Blanco, who went public with Gomez in December 2023, doubled down on those hopes in a June interview with InStyle.
“I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing,” he told the outlet, adding, “I’m just dreaming and praying every day.”
However, last year, the “Emilia Perez” actress revealed that she can’t carry her own children due to medical issues amid her battle with lupus.
Nonetheless, she confirmed to Vanity Fair in October 2024 that she would be interested in starting a family by using a surrogate or adopting.
“It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people,” she said at the time. “I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different.”
