In a March episode of the Jay Shetty Podcast<\/em><\/a>, Gomez and her now-husband Benny Blanco<\/a> said that they can’t wait to start a family together. The couple tied the knot on Sept. 27<\/a> in Montecito, Calif.<\/p>\n“I don\u2019t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children,” Gomez said in March. “I love making [children] laugh; they’re just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I\u2019m so excited for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Blanco, 37, chimed in to add that when Gomez sees children, she will \u201cimmediately go to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids.\u201d<\/p>\n
“When you started doing this you were a kid and that was your way to connect to people and I feel like you still feel like you have that obligation to connect with young kids,” he pointed out. “You shaped so many young people\u2019s lives, whether it was Barney<\/em>, Wizards [of Waverly Place<\/em>]… you\u2019re still finding your way to do that.”<\/p>\nNever miss a story \u2014 sign up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n
