Selena Gomez has a lot to celebrate these days — from having a new kidney to landing more acting roles and turning 30. The “Only Murders in the Building” star revealed she’s ready to take the net step in her life.

While on the vodcast “Giving Back Generation,” hosted by Gomez’s friend Raquelle Stevens, the actress/musician shared how she’s ready for marriage and a baby.

“I hope to be married and to be a mom,” Gomez said. “Eventually, I’m gonna be tired of all this, so I’m probably just gonna devote most of my life to philanthropy before I peace out.”

Available on TaTaTu, “Giving Back Generation” encourages newer generations to give back “one good deed at a time.” Celebrity guests share their personal experiences and discuss important issues facing today’s teens, young adults and society.

Throughout the episode, Gomez credited her family, friends and fans for her continuous efforts to push forward. She admited to losing touch with her fanbase quitting social media to focus on her mental health.

“Social media — it’s not bad,” she continued. “I just know I have to be responsible for what I’m feeling and need to take care of my emotions, because I’m not gonna get that from strangers who are giving me their opinion.”

The “Wizards of Waverly Place” actress has been open about her mental health struggles with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, lupus and bipolar disorder. She said she prides herself on transparency. She recently launched Wondermind, a platform that helps connect people with resources for mental health services.
