It started as a casual jam session at home, but turned into something far more romantic, and far more public. In a recent interview on Australia’s TODAY show, Benny Blanco shared what it was really like recording a full album with his fiancée, global pop icon Selena Gomez. And according to him, it was the best studio experience of his life, because it came with kisses.
The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, surprised fans by not only blending their lives—but also their musical talents. Their joint album I Said I Loved You First dropped just three months later and is already making waves with tracks like Sunset Blvd, Scared of Loving You, and Call Me When You Break Up (which features Gracie Abrams and is currently climbing the CTM Top 40).
The album, Blanco says, wasn’t originally planned.
Blanco, known for producing hits for the likes of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, and Rihanna, says nothing compares to the connection he feels working with Gomez—both musically and emotionally.
Speaking of Sheeran, the British singer recently told press he had received a wedding invite. Blanco confirmed the invite, but clarified no date has been set just yet.
Blanco also opened up about his hopes for the future beyond music. In a recent interview with InStyle, he revealed he’s already thinking about starting a family.
As for Gomez, she's continuing to shine both musically and personally. Close friend Taylor Swift—who was among the first to congratulate the couple—reportedly joked that she’s already nominating herself to be the flower girl.
With chart-topping tracks, a strong relationship, and big dreams ahead, it seems Benny and Selena’s love song is just getting started.
