Los Angeles, California – It's no surprise that in the land of glitz and glamour, keeping a relationship under wraps is a challenge, but that's exactly what Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez managed to achieve. The duo successfully kept their budding romance out of the public eye for a solid eight or nine months before deciding it was time to share their love story with the world. Benny, also known as the Hermoso artist, spilled these details in a candid chat with the Spanish magazine El País.
"We kept our relationship private for a long time, about eight or nine months," Benny dished.
The 38-year-old musician, born Benjamin Levin, opened up about the moment Selena questioned whether he truly wanted to take their relationship public. In true Hollywood fashion, Selena, ever the mindful partner, expressed her concerns by asking, "Are you sure you want to do this? I understand if you want us to just be friends." This heartfelt conversation marked a pivotal moment, to which Benny responded with a carefree, "You know what? Screw it." It's clear that love was in the air, and as Benny reflects, the couple was surrounded by a supportive circle of friends and family who had been with them long before the spotlight.
Fast forward two years, and the lovebirds tied the knot in a charming Santa Barbara ceremony on September 27, 2025. The guest list was a who's who of the entertainment world, featuring A-listers like Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Camila Cabello. The intimate gathering was the perfect setting for Benny and Selena to celebrate their love story – one that began quietly, away from the prying eyes of Hollywood, and blossomed into a beautiful partnership. It's stories like these that remind us of the genuine connections that can be forged amidst the hustle and bustle of Tinseltown.
