The ever-talented singer and actress, Selena Gomez, recently excited her fans with a sweet revelation about her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco. In an intimate TikTok video, Selena shared that she was the first to say those three magical words, “I love you,” in their blooming romance.
The video, part of a “Who’s Most Likely To” couple’s challenge, showed the pair sitting comfortably on a couch, laughing and sharing intimate moments, including Benny’s affectionate hug and kiss on Selena’s shoulder.
Public Debut and Social Media Moments
Selena, now 31, and Benny, 36, have been dating since the previous summer but only made their relationship public in December 2023. Selena’s social media post, where she referred to Benny as “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her, marked their official debut as a couple. Since then, they have been quite open about their relationship, frequently posting cozy and loving snapshots on their social media accounts.
During the TikTok challenge, Selena and Benny exposed surprising tidbits about their love. Selena admitted she's the first to fall asleep during a movie. On the other hand, Benny is more likely to take on household chores. They both agreed that Benny eats the most and although Selena claimed Benny takes longer to get ready in the morning, the two had a playful disagreement on this. When asked who was more romantic, Benny confidently pointed to himself. The couple also suggested that neither of them would ever forget Valentine’s Day, an exhibition of their shared values.
Impact on Selena's Life and Future Plans
Their relationship has had a resounding impact on Selena’s life. In May, she disclosed that Benny had changed her perspective on many things. These included her plans to adopt a child by the age of 35 if she hadn’t met someone special.
“I just cherish every moment with him,” she revealed.
She also added, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.”
Benny, on his part, also shared his feelings about having children with Selena. He said that he thinks about it every day and can’t imagine a better life than the one he has with her.
Career Achievements and Relationship Dynamics
The "Come & Get It" singer's journey to finding love hasn’t been without its ups and downs. Before Benny, she was in a highly publicized on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber. Their bumpy romance ended in early 2018. Consequently, Justin moved on. Furthermore, he's expecting his first child with Hailey Bieber. Benny is known for his private nature. He was previously linked to model Elsie Hewitt. However, his relationship with Selena seems to be on a different level of intimacy and openness.
Selena’s career has been nothing short of spectacular. From her early days as a Disney star on “Wizards of Waverly Place” to her successful music career, she has consistently evolved and expanded her talents. Her recent works include her highly praised album “Rare.” In addition, she's been involved in various philanthropic efforts. This is specifically through her Rare Beauty line, which focuses on mental health awareness.
Benny Blanco, equally accomplished, has made a name for himself as a creative music producer. Specifically, he's worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, and Selena herself. His musical talents and creative vision have earned him numerous accolades and a prominent place in the music world.
Together, Selena and Benny make a powerful and inspiring couple. Their journey displays the power of love, mutual respect, and the joy of finding someone who truly understands and supports you. As they continue to share their lives and love with the world. Their fans can’t help but root for their happiness and future together.
