Are Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez rushing to the altar?
The recently engaged couple talked candidly about their wedding plans—or lack thereof—with Rolling Stone.
Gomez, 32, stated that their focus is on their joint album, I Said I Love You First, which is out on March 21.
Blanco, 37, joked that “she’s planned a new wedding in her head every day.”
She flashed her 6-carat marquise diamond ring from Blanco’s oddball Taco Bell picnic proposal and declared, “This moment deserves our full hearts.”
Why Did They Include Fast Food in Their Engagement?
There was cheesy gordita crunch in Blanco’s suggestion, but it wasn’t a ploy.
He shrugged and described their laid-back atmosphere as “perfect,” saying, “We’re just living life.”
The pair, who have been together since Gomez was eighteen, acknowledged that they wished they had started dating earlier: Blanco admitted, “Waiting this long is my biggest regret.”
How Did Their New Album Get Started by Love?
The first LP Gomez had released in five years turned into a therapy session.
She turned to Blanco when she was stuck in her creative process: “I’d wake up, he’d jot down my thoughts, and we’d turn them into songs,” she said.
Blanco described the process as “cathartic,” fusing unvarnished lyricism with romance.
Their whirlwind bond is revealed in songs like the title single, I Said I Love You First.
What Will Happen to the Power Couple Next?
Are you getting married? Perhaps—but not just yet. Gomez describes the album as a “love letter to our journey” and is completely focused on it.
“We’re savoring now,” Blanco continued. Nevertheless, fans are already analyzing the lyrics to look for Taco Bell references or secret vows.
Could Their Partnership Rethink Relationship Objectives?
Gomez and Blanco effortlessly combine their personal and professional lives, whether they are working in the studio or going out for snacks.
Gomez declared, “This isn’t just music—it’s us.” Swifties-level excitement is building as the album is released on Friday.
