Benny Blanco seemed to express his romance with Selena Gomez before it happened.
On Monday, the 37 -year -old record producer, and the founder of Rare of Beauty, 32, appeared in the By the way with Jay Shetty Podcast when Blanco revealed that before his relationship with Gomez began, he and his therapist made a list of everything he wanted in a future partner.
“Before meeting her, he was a boy in Los Angeles trying to find the one for me and he was having some problems,” Blanco told the Podcast presenter. “I think I wasn't looking at all the right places.”
“I thought, ok, it's time to be an adult, I want to start a life, I want to have a family, I want to find a person who is like my other half that makes me feel better and makes them feel better. It's giving and drinking, Yin and the perfect Yang, so I wrote a list.”
Shetty then asked Blanco to talk about what was on his list. The first quality that his future wife had to have was to be “appropriate for age” for him, which he considered “more than 30 years.”
“The second thing I wrote was, I know that this is so simple but so difficult to find, someone friendly, compassionate and affectionate,” he continued. “I thought, 'that's really three in one, but I need someone to be kind. A pleasant genuine person'.”
Blanco proposed to Gómez in December 2024, leading her to what she thought was the set of a promotional video for her new joint album, I said I loved you first. The producer cheated Gomez to come with him to the “work event” and asked the question with a picnic sponsored by Taco Bell established for them.
In an interview with Jimmy Fallon in his night homonymous interview program, the Wizards of Waverly Place Alum said he almost ruined Blanco's proposal when he tried to cancel it that day.
“I was so confused about where we were going because it seemed a bit far,” he recalled about the place of commitment.
Gomez told Fallon: “I'm a little grumpy. I'm tired and I'm like, 'this is too far away.'”
Blanco then said that Gomez asked if they could “shoot the promotion” another day, but in fact, she agreed to go with him anyway.
The couple was dating for 18 months before they committed.
Gomez first confirmed his relationship with Blanco in December 2023 after months of speculation. At that time, he had liked a publication of the account of Celebrity News, which included the headline “Selena Gomez apparently confirms that she is in a relationship”. In the comments, Gomez wrote: “Acts.”
