Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez
Benny Blanco is head over heels for Selena Gomez, and he’s opening up about the moment he realized he was in love with the pop star. In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal on April 25th, the producer gushed about his relationship with Selena Gomez, saying, “I was the last one to know. It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that clueless moment where you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m in love.'”
Blanco and Gomez have known each other for years, having collaborated on the 2019 single “I Can’t Get Enough,” where they shared a sweet scene dancing together on an oversized bed in the music video. Their romance blossomed last year when Selena Gomez released her song “Single Soon,” produced by her now-boyfriend Blanco. She confirmed their relationship in December 2023 with an Instagram story showing off a “B” ring, commenting, “He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

In a February interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Selena Gomez opened up about the relationship, saying, “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s essential to meet someone that respects you, and I think it’s nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall, it’s the safest that I feel, and it’s been adorable, and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
When some fans questioned it, Selena Gomez fiercely defended her romance with Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levan. In a comment, she said, “If [fans] care about me, they will support [my] relationship. This is my happiest. If you can’t accept me at my happiest, don’t be in my life. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest, don’t be in my life.”
