What Selena Gomez Asked Benny Blanco Before Going Public With Romance | E! News

Benny Blanco reveals the conversation he had with Selena Gomez before taking their secret romance public. Three years after the Good 4 U singer and the record producer started dating, he shares insight into the conversation they had right before she revealed their relationship in December of 2023. In an interview translated from Spanish with El País published July 13th, Blanco says, We kept our relationship private for a long time, about eight or nine months. She asked me, Are you sure you want to do this? I understand if you want us to just be friends. The 38-year-old continues, I said, You know what? Screw it. We're lucky, because we both have friends and family we've known since before all this, and we're surrounded by a good group of people we love. And despite being married to one of the most famous people in the world, Blanco has learned to strike a delicate balance on what he shares. He says, I don't like to expose my life. Famous people are under constant scrutiny. If you say one thing, it's wrong. And if you say another, it's also wrong. I'd like to have more privacy. And when it comes to navigating public life, Blanco admits he's not facing it alone, noting of Selena, She's been dealing with this her whole life, so it's something we have to face together.
