Selena Gomez’s Encino Mansion, Once Owned By Singer Tom Petty, Has a Troubled Past

Selena Gomez left in tears after realising she may be unable to carry her own children due to bipolar medication: ‘However I’m meant to have them, I will’

Selena Gomez has opened up about the fact she may not be able to carry her own children, due to some risks associated with the medication she takes for bipolar.

The singer, 30, has been on medication since experiencing psychosis in 2018 and revealed she cries when thinking about the fact it may stop her from carrying a baby.

Speaking in a new interview with Rolling Stone, Selena admitted she sat in a car and cried after visiting a friend who was trying to get pregnant.

Due to the fact she needs to stay on two types of medication to manage her bipolar, Selena revealed: ‘That’s a very big, big, present thing in my life,’ but vowed to become a mother one way or another, adding: ‘However I’m meant to have them, I will.

According to the NHS, the risks of taking bipolar medicines during pregnancy are not well understood, and certain types are not recommended for pregnant women due to a risk of harm to the baby.

Certain medications can cause birth defects including neural tube defects, heart defects and developmental delay or neurobehavioral problems according to WebMD.

While the whole world was in quarantine last year, Selena Gomez quietly moved out of her Studio City house and into a spacious mansion in Encino, Los Angeles.

She bought the property for $4.9 million and it seems to be worth every penny.

The sprawling home, which boasts 11,500 square feet, is a sight to behold. It has six bedrooms, ten bathrooms, and an amazing resort-style backyard.

It sits on .87 acres of land, with a long gated driveway at the end of a cul-de-sac, giving the superstar some much needed privacy from fans and paparazzi.

But beyond the extra square footage and gorgeous rooms, the mansion also boasts an interesting history that makes it even more priceless.

The estate was originally built in 1989 and was previously owned by singer Tom Petty. Being a musician herself, Gomez was naturally drawn to the property. In an interview with Zane Lowe, the singer admitted that she often thinks about her home’s previous owner.

From Grand Prairie all the way to Encino

Selena has come a long way from her simple life in her hometown of Grand Prairie, Texas. The Disney star grew up in a quaint 3-bedroom home before she rose to stardom. She was raised by her mom, who once struggled to keep food on the table.

Fast forward to now, a couple of decades after her Barney days and Selena has become one of the most successful child stars.

She has a booming career that spans from music, to acting, to entrepreneurship — having launched her new makeup brand, “Rare Beauty”.

While she now has an estimated net worth of $75 million, Selena is still surprisingly grounded and humble. She still visits her childhood home from time to time and even shared a snap of herself sitting on the porch of her old house on Instagram.
