Gomez had a kidney transplant in 2017 owing to lupus. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020, following a psychotic episode in which she heard voices and considered suicide. In 2022, she told Rolling Stone that her need to continue taking two specific drugs for bipolar disease may prevent her from having a safe pregnancy. "That's a very big, big, present thing in my life," she explained. Gomez has also stated that she is open to adoption, mainly since her mother was adopted.
