Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco gave their first joint interview
For Interview magazine
Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco have given their first joint interview and appeared on the cover of Interview magazine. The couple shared details about their engagement, love story, and collaboration on a new album.
At the beginning of the interview, Selena showcased her marquise-cut diamond engagement ring and admitted that she had dreamed of such a piece of jewelry since she was young.
When asked about how exactly Benny proposed, Selena did not give a direct answer. The 32-year-old singer said she wanted to keep that moment private for their future children, adding that it was «very touching» and happened at the «right time.» Benny, in turn, admitted that before the engagement, he had to lie to maintain the surprise, which was a «real challenge» for him.
The couple also shared the story of their first meeting. They met when Selena was just 16 years old, but their romance began years later. Despite both feeling a «special connection,» Selena admitted that she was the first to show interest in Benny, while he didn’t immediately realize her feelings and even offered to introduce her to his friends. «We were in a studio session, and I said, «You should meet my friends. I can set you up on some dates,» the music producer recalled.
He also noted that they went into their first dinner with different expectations: Selena considered it a date, while Benny saw it as just a casual meet-up. It wasn’t until their second dinner that he started to realize he liked her, and from that moment, their relationship developed rapidly.
Blanco shared that before meeting Selena, he had consciously decided to change his life to be ready for a serious relationship. The 36-year-old musician stated that he «adores the ground Selena walks on» and feels that it is mutual: «There is no selfishness between us. She prays for me to win, and I pray for her to win,» he explained.
However, despite being completely sure of his feelings, Benny admitted that he still can’t shake the fear that one day Selena might leave him. «I’m so scared that one day she’ll wake up and say, «What? No,» he said.
As part of the interview, the artists also announced the release of a joint album titled I Said I Love You First. The couple noted that working on the project was «natural» and «inspiring,» and that the album would reflect their personal experiences.
