Recently, music producer Benny Blanco shared how his friendship with pop sensation Selena Gomez came about, and fans just can’t help but smile after hearing the story.
On November 20, Blanco joined the streamer Kai Cenat in an energetic livestream and shared darling details regarding their first date. He spoke of how that relationship kicked off in such a light-hearted, friendly manner.
They were two artists simply enjoying each other’s company over music, having a conversation and learning from each other. “She asked me out,” Blanco said, still with a facade of surprise and glee. “It was crazy. We were just talking, and then she said, ‘Do you want to get dinner?”
The always-hyped Kai Cenat couldn’t keep calm. He was, in fact, in a state of pure shock, dapping up Benny to celebrate such a bold move by Selena. Refreshingly, the welcome such a move by Selena from the fans and friends is a plus, given the two had been friends since their musicianship days. It turns out that Benny and Selena’s bond runs deeper than just romantic involvement; it is entwined in their respective musical collaborations.
The duo first collaborated in 2015 when Benny produced several successful singles for Selena’s “Revival” album, such as “Kill Em with Kindness” and “Same Old Love.” As their professional chemistry took flight, it spilled over into their personal life, and they reportedly started dating in July 2023.
Since then, the couple has shared so many special moments. In December 2023, Selena admitted what Benny was to her: he was her “absolute everything.” Later, their love story was to be unfolded right in front of everyone when, in January 2024, Benny took Selena to the Golden Globes. She shared such a sweet moment, a kiss that appeared on her Insta Story.
Thus far, the core of Selena and Benny’s relationship seems to be based on a foundation of support for one another and understanding. Selena speaks of the security she feels with him and her desire to see a future together, while Benny’s regard for quiet mornings they spend together has prompted him to refer to her as his best friend. The connection appears to bring out the best in each other at both personal and creative levels.
The news of Selena asking Benny out has gotten fans super excited on social media. Sites like Twitter and Instagram flooded with fans congratulating the couple on their love. They praised Selena for making a move and also admired Benny for sharing such a personal story with them. This charming revelation only adds to their appeal, making them even more relatable and lovable in the eyes of their supporters.
Benny didn’t just stop at the dating revelation during his Twitch appearance. He and Kai shared a few laughs and entertaining stories, including their amazement at a dedicated Twitch streamer who had been live for an impressive three years straight. Benny’s down-to-earth personality shone through, making the stream enjoyable and engaging for viewers.
Adding to the romance that is unfolding between them, Benny Blanco made an excellent revelation: it was Selena Gomez who asked him out first. Sweetly, this just reminds one that sometimes taking the initiative may land them a wonderful experience.
