Benny Blanco Confesses to Being the ‘Last Person’ to Realize His Love for Selena Gomez in “You Don’t Even Notice”
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco made their romantic relationship public in December 2023. Blanco now discusses their relationship, revealing that he didn’t realize he was in love with her.
The 36-year-old record producer and chef admitted that he wasn’t aware of his feelings for Selena, 31, until just before they began dating. In fact, he was the last person to realize he was in love with her. They had previously collaborated on some music together.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco fell in love with each other while making music together
Their journey together started in a recording studio where Blanco fell for Gomez. While they had initially collaborated during Blanco’s 2019 music video for “I Can’t Get Enough,” they went their separate ways creatively until “Single Soon” was released in August 2023.
Realizing his love for Selena was a revelation for Blanco. He expressed, “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.” For Blanco, realizing his love for Selena was like a moment from the movie Clueless where the main character had a clueless moment about her true feelings initially.
Contrary to his perception, they had been quietly dating for six months before going public with their relationship in December of the previous year. Gomez announced their relationship through Instagram, calling Benny “the best thing that has ever happened” to her life.
Selena Gomez’s fans have mixed reactions about Blanco’s recent interview
Despite their public displays of affection and frequent outings together, some of Selena’s fans still have reservations about Blanco, who is both a chef and a producer who plays basketball barefoot. This skepticism stems from comments Blanco made in 2020 that seemed to favour Justin Bieber over Selena Gomez.
In an interview at The Zach Sang Show, Blanco praised Bieber while indirectly comparing him to other pop artists. When fans pointed out the shade towards Selena, she responded by emphasizing that Bieber was better than anyone she had been with. This incident showcases the strength of their bond.
Blanco mentioned in his interview that they continue to support each other creatively, growing their relationship under the scrutiny of the media. Their shared love for cooking has strengthened their bond, allowing them to connect on a deeper level as friends and partners.
