Benny Blanco, the renowned music producer, recently opened up about the amusing and unexpected start to his romantic relationship with pop star Selena Gomez. During a livestream with Kai Cenat, Benny shared how their first dinner together was a surprise to him as he didn’t initially realize it was meant to be a date.
Friendship Turned Romance
Benny and Selena have known each other for over a decade, starting as friends. Benny first met Selena during her early years in the music industry and later collaborated with her on several projects, including her 2015 album “Revival” and their 2019 hit “I Can’t Get Enough.” Despite their professional and personal bond over the years, Benny did not foresee their relationship taking a romantic turn.
He revealed,
“She asked me out. It was crazy. I didn’t think much of it when she suggested dinner, but I told her, ‘I’m going to this thing with friends. Why don’t you come, and we’ll grab dinner after?’”
The Accidental Date
Recounting the night, Benny shared that their evening began with drinks before heading to dinner. It wasn’t until Selena made a remark during the meal that he realized the significance of the occasion.
“She said, ‘I would’ve worn something different to this date,’ and I was like, ‘Wait, what? We’re on a date?’”
The realization didn’t dampen the mood. Although Selena had to leave early that night due to work commitments, the pair made plans to meet again two days later.
Sparks Fly
During their second meeting, Benny began to notice Selena’s growing interest in him. He said,
“That’s when I thought, ‘I think she likes me.’ I kissed her, and the rest is history.”
Since then, the couple has grown closer, with Benny expressing how much Selena means to him.
“We’re together every day. She’s not just my partner but also my best friend,” he shared.
Relationship Timeline
Although they officially started dating in mid-2023, Benny and Selena’s long-standing friendship has given their relationship a solid foundation. Fans of the duo have been thrilled to see their connection flourish, and Benny’s candid recollection of their unexpected first date offers an endearing insight into their bond.
