March 5, 2026 – Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, one of the industry’s most high-profile couples, have shared insights into their marriage and future family plans. The revelations came on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, hosted by Lil Dicky and his wife Kristin Batalucco.
Gomez Shares Desire for a Big Family
During the podcast, the discussion turned to children. While Lil Dicky and Batalucco shared their views — “one, two max” and “like three” respectively — Gomez surprised listeners with her own dream:
“I want four, but that’s out there,” she said.
The Calm Down hitmaker explained that her desire for a large family was inspired by a heartwarming dinner scene in the 2005 film The Family Stone, where all family members gather around the table.
“One day at my dinner table, when I’m her age, I want to see that dinner table. ‘Whatever happens, happens.’ If we’re only able to have one, none — I hope… we don’t know. But my dream for sure was that scene where they’re all at the dinner table and they’re just with their partners or their significant others or kids or single, and it’s just like this beautiful cast of characters.”
