Selena Gomez has once again captured hearts, not just with her music but with her heartfelt revelations about her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
Following the release of her much-anticipated fourth studio album, I Said I Love You First, the singer opened up about her personal and professional journey alongside Blanco.
The Love On hitmaker, who got engaged to Blanco in December 2024, recently shared insights into her creative process during an exclusive interview with TikTok star Chris Olsen for SiriusXM. Speaking candidly about her relationship and their musical collaboration, Selena Gomez expressed deep admiration for her fiancé, emphasizing how his unwavering support played a crucial role in shaping her latest album.
“It’s Benny’s confidence, you know? That kind of energy is so addictive to be around,” Selena Gomez shared. “And he just — I don’t know. I just love him, that’s all.” Her words reflected not only her affection for Blanco but also the profound impact he has had on her both personally and professionally.
Discussing the challenges she faced before embarking on this musical journey, the Same Old Love singer admitted, “I was so stuck musically. I didn’t know where I wanted to go with my next album. I knew I wanted to do one, but I felt lost. Having him on my team was just so wonderful. He did an incredible job, and I respect him so much. His taste is just excellent.”
During her conversation with Olsen, the Emilia Pérez actress reminisced about the creative process, emphasizing how their personal stories merged into something truly special. “Telling him my stories, listening to his, sharing our pasts—it was really special. So we combined it and made an album,” Selena Gomez explained, highlighting the deep emotional connection that fueled their artistic collaboration.
The power couple further promoted I Said I Love You First during their appearance on Jay Shetty’s podcast, where they delved into the themes and inspiration behind the album. Released on March 21, the album marks a significant milestone in Selena Gomez’s career, showcasing a blend of personal storytelling and musical evolution.
With both her artistry and her love story flourishing, Selena Gomez continues to shine, proving once again why she remains one of the most influential artists of her generation.
