Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Open Up About Their Relationship and Engagement

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco recently shared insights into their relationship, revealing how they met and discussing their engagement.

Gomez, known for her candid approach to personal experiences, reflected on the significance of her relationship with Blanco. Speaking to People, she admitted, "My perspective on it, in a simplistic way, is that I actually feel valued. I feel seen. I feel respected. And I think that's all I've ever really wanted."

The singer and actress further opened up about her personal journey before meeting Blanco. "I've kind of been alone in the world. I was alone for five years before we got together, and I think that really helped me appreciate someone like Ben," she shared. She also acknowledged the changes in her emotional readiness over the years, adding, "He gets so weirded out by me saying this, but genuinely, 10 years ago, I wasn't in a space in my life where I could have accepted the kind of patience, the kind of unconditional love that he gives me."

In November 2024, Gomez took to Instagram to express her gratitude towards Blanco. Alongside a picture of him, she wrote, "Not only do you love me unconditionally... You always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza."

Blanco, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of communication and appreciation in a relationship. Speaking to Interview, he advised, "Find your best friend and don't settle. Happy wife, happy life."

Gomez and Blanco first crossed paths in 2013 through Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey. However, their romantic relationship began in 2023, and the couple announced their engagement in December 2024.

In addition to their personal milestones, the duo is set to embark on a new professional journey together.
