‘WSJ Magazine’ recently conducted an interview with the musician and cookbook author, during which he discussed his connection.
A revelation has been made by Benny Blanco on his Clueless moment with Selena Gomez.
In an interview that was just published in WSJ Magazine, the producer, who is 36 years old, reveals that he “was the last one to know” that he was in love with the pop diva, who is 31 years old today.
He makes a reference to the blockbuster movie that was released in 1995 and starred Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd. “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,” he says in the magazine. “And then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, Wait, I’m in love.”
Blanco has prior experience producing Gomez’s successful song “Same Old Love,” which was released in 2015, and the two of them made a fun appearance together on screen in the music video for Blanco’s 2019 joint single “I Can’t Get Enough.” Most recently, Blanco was the producer of Gomez’s most recent single, which was released in 2023 and titled “Single Soon.”
Blanco and Gomez seem to have taken a like to one another in addition to their professions in the music business since they both have a passion for cooking. In the meanwhile, Blanco keeps his followers entertained with his hilariously funny culinary films that he posts on social media. Gomez is the star of her own cooking program, Selena + Chef, which has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award. The 30th of April will see the release of Blanco’s cookbook, which is going to be named Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends.
His approach to cooking is described as follows: “I like things that look difficult, but it’s actually really easy,” he says to the magazine. “I just like making other people happy and amusing them. Is it not true that everyone, whether it be a friend, a lover, or a member of your family, want to be held and cared for? When you get something that was made by someone else, don’t you feel good?
According to a source who spoke to Entertainment Tonight earlier this month, Blanco and Gomez’s loved ones are overjoyed about their couple’s relationship.
This information was provided by the source, who said that the singer’s “friends and family love Benny and his loved ones feel the same about her.”
“Everyone can see that they have a loving relationship, and both sides couldn’t be more encouraging,” the insider said of the couple’s intimate circle of friends and family.
In recent days, Gomez and Blanco have reportedly “gotten very serious” about their relationship, as stated by the source.
“Selena trusts him more than any other past romantic partner in her life,” according to the information provided. “They are very respectful of one another and their relationship is growing in positive ways.”
According to the source, the two individuals have the perception that they “feel like they bring out the best in each other and make an effort to be communicative, honest, and supportive of each other.”
“They speak their minds, appreciate each other’s art, and lift each other up,” according to the information provided. “They both see a positive future together and have a desire to continue to move forward and have their relationship thrive.”
The relationship between Gomez and Blanco was finally confirmed in December, following months of rumors and conjecture. Then, in February, the singer who is known for her song “Love On” said that she was in a “lovely” relationship.
“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone who respects you,” Gomez said in an interview with Zane Lowe. “It’s just really important to meet someone who respects you.” In addition, I believe that it is a wonderful experience to be able to rely on someone who is familiar with the world in which I live. On the other hand, I would have to say that, all things considered, it is the safest that I feel, and it has been very nice, and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s fantastic.
