Blanco corroborated his wife's sentiments, highlighting her natural ability to connect with young children. "Immediately go to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids," he described Gomez's interactions with children.
However, Gomez previously confided in Vanity Fair about her health struggles, stating "I haven't ever said this. but I unfortunately can't carry my own children." She attributed her condition to ongoing battles with Lupus and bipolar disorder.
Despite this, Gomez reassured that she is exploring alternative options, noting the blessings of surrogacy and adoption: " I'm in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me."
