Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are enjoying an exciting new chapter in both their personal and professional lives.
Recently engaged, the couple opened up about their wedding plans, musical collaboration, and their journey together in a candid interview.
Their relationship, which has quietly grown over the years, now blends seamlessly into their creative work — most notably their first collaborative album, I Said I Love You First, set to release on March 21, 2025.
The couple, who made their glamorous debut at the 97th Annual Oscars earlier this month, shared that while wedding planning naturally comes up, there’s no rush to walk down the aisle.
Benny Blanco, 37, revealed that Gomez, 32, often dreams up different wedding ideas, but both are embracing a “one day at a time” mindset.
Blanco reflected on the engagement, describing how special it still feels — even as they continue to soak in every moment of being newly engaged.
Gomez, meanwhile, admitted she often finds herself staring at her engagement ring, a stunning six-carat marquise diamond, symbolizing the deep bond they’ve formed.
Their love story is marked by its simplicity and genuine connection. Blanco proposed in December 2024 during an intimate picnic, complete with Taco Bell — a nod to their desire for authenticity rather than grand, elaborate gestures.
Benny shared that adding Taco Bell to such a special moment didn’t feel ordinary to them — it just felt like them. Reflecting on their journey, Blanco confessed that his only regret was not being with Gomez sooner, as they’ve known each other since she was 18.
“By the time we started dating, it just felt right,” he said.
Beyond their romance, the couple is excited to share their music with the world. Their album, I Said I Love You First, holds special meaning as it captures not only their artistic chemistry but also the raw emotions they’ve experienced throughout their relationship.
For Gomez, it was a therapeutic process — especially after struggling to find her musical direction since her last album, Rare, five years ago.

She admitted feeling lost creatively until she found solace in working closely with Blanco, who would often turn her thoughts and feelings into songs.
Blanco described the recording process as deeply personal. Many mornings, he’d jot down Selena’s thoughts and translate them into music, creating an album that feels like a journal of their love story.
The collaboration allowed them to be vulnerable and open with each other, strengthening their bond.
While the album is the couple’s current focus, they have also hinted at meaningful elements they’d like to incorporate into their future wedding, including special traditions that reflect their shared values and heritage.
Yet, for now, the music is their priority — a celebration of their love, growth, and the journey that brought them together.
As they prepare to release I Said I Love You First, Selena and Benny remain grounded, savoring every moment of this chapter in their lives — balancing excitement over their engagement, gratitude for each other, and the joy of sharing their love story through music.
Their relationship, built on years of friendship, trust, and understanding, continues to inspire fans, proving that sometimes, the best love stories are the ones that take time to bloom.
