Selena Gomez is sharing her vision for the future with husband Benny Blanco, revealing that she dreams of a large, bustling household. The singer and actress recently opened up about her hopes for starting a family, citing a memorable movie scene as a key inspiration for her desire to have four children.

The Only Murders in the Building star made these revelations during a candid conversation on the second episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast. The show is co-hosted by her husband, music producer Benny Blanco, alongside rapper Lil Dicky, whose real name is Dave Burd, and his wife, Kristin Batalucco . The discussion took a personal turn when the topic of family planning came up, with Blanco asking Burd and Batalucco about their ideal number of children .

According to reports, Burd stated his ideal was "one, two max," while Batalucco envisioned a slightly larger family of "like three." Gomez then chimed in with her own ambitious goal, stating, "I want four, but that's out there" . The couple, who tied the knot in September 2025 in Santa Barbara, California, have kept much of their private life out of the public eye, making this glimpse into their future plans particularly notable for fans .

The Rare Beauty founder explained that her dream of a full dinner table was inspired by a poignant scene from the 2005 holiday film The Family Stone . The movie, which features an ensemble cast including Diane Keaton, depicts the chaotic yet loving dynamics of a family gathering. Gomez shared that she has never been able to forget the image of the matriarch's dinner table, surrounded by children, partners, and friends .

Gomez noted that Keaton's character in the film reminded her of her own grandmother, adding an emotional layer to her aspiration. Describing the scene, she told her co-hosts, "One day at my dinner table, when I'm her age, I want to see that dinner table" . For Gomez, the goal is less about a specific number and more about creating a sense of community and connection, a sentiment echoed by Batalucco, who described it as "the community of family" .

While her dream is for four children, Gomez also maintained a practical and grounded perspective on the realities of parenthood. "Whatever happens, happens," she said, adding that she would embrace the future whether it brings one child, four, or none at all . She lightheartedly acknowledged the challenges of raising a large family, joking that "it's actually going to be crazy hell until they become adults" .

This public discussion of family planning aligns with statements Blanco has made in the past about his desire to become a father. In a previous interview with InStyle, the music producer expressed his deep yearning for fatherhood, stating, "I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing. I'm just dreaming and praying every day" . His comments reflect a shared vision for their future together.

Gomez has also been candid about the unique challenges she may face on her journey to motherhood. She has previously spoken about health issues that could complicate a pregnancy, noting that she has "a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby's in jeopardy" . This acknowledgment has led her to express openness to surrogacy or adoption as alternative paths to parenthood, affirming that she is excited for "what that journey will look like, but it'll look a little different" .

The couple, who went public with their relationship in December 2023 and became engaged a year later, have navigated the challenges of their respective careers while building their life together . Gomez is currently in London filming the sixth season of her hit series Only Murders in the Building, while Blanco remains based in Los Angeles . Despite the distance, the pair have consistently demonstrated their strong connection, with Gomez recently posting a tribute to her husband on Instagram, sharing a carousel of never-before-seen photos and writing, "Distance means so little when someone means so much" .

Blanco has also spoken about his wife's influence on his life and work, describing her as "the best" and noting how she makes it easy to write songs about her . He has also been open about his love for the role of a supportive partner, emphasizing the importance of communication in their relationship . For now, Gomez and Blanco are enjoying their time as newlyweds while dreaming about the next chapters of their lives together .
