Selena Gomez is embracing her maternal side both on and off screen.
After reprising her iconic role as Alex Russo in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, the 33-year-old star opened up about her dream of becoming a mom.
The show’s second season finale revealed that Alex is now a mother to Billie Russo, played by 15-year-old Janice LeAnn Brown, a twist that deeply resonated with Gomez.
“Alex Russo is a mommy,” Gomez wrote on Instagram Stories alongside a clip from the emotional scene, adding a teary-eyed emoji. “Hopefully one day that’ll be me.”

In a behind-the-scenes interview, Gomez praised her young co-star, saying, “We are mother and daughter. I really am grateful for this lovely Janice child.”
Brown echoed the sentiment, recalling how emotional the two became after the table read: “We were just puddles,” she said, as Gomez smiled and motioned fake tears.
The reunion has been a nostalgic full-circle moment for Gomez, who also recently tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco in a romantic Santa Barbara ceremony.
Reflecting on her journey from teen wizard to newlywed, Gomez’s heartfelt wish to one day become a mother feels like the next chapter in her ever-evolving story.
