Benny Blanco recently shared a funny story about his first meeting with Selena Gomez during a live stream with Kai Cenat. The music producer revealed that he initially didn’t realize he was on a date with the pop star.

Blanco explained that Selena was the one who asked him out. “She asked me out. It was crazy,” he said. Having known each other for over a decade, their relationship began as a friendship. Benny first met Selena when she was younger and later worked with her on several projects, including her 2015 album Revival and their 2019 collaboration I Can’t Get Enough.

Recalling the moment Selena asked him out, Benny said: “She was like, ‘Oh, do you want to have dinner?’ I didn’t think much of it. I said, “I’m going to this thing with friends. Why don’t you come and have dinner after?’”

The evening started with pre-dinner drinks and it wasn’t until Selena made a comment that Benny realized what was going on. “She said, ‘I would have worn something different on this date,’ and I was like, ‘Wait, what?’ Do we have a date?”

The slight misunderstanding didn’t stop the pair from forming a deeper connection. Although Selena had to leave early that night due to work commitments, they met again two days later. “Then I thought, ‘I think he likes me,'” Benny said. “I kissed her and the rest is history.”
Now, the couple spends as much time together as possible. “We’re together every day,” Benny said, adding that Selena is not only his partner, but also “his best friend.”

The two began officially dating in mid-2023, but their shared history and close connection made their relationship particularly meaningful. Fans of both stars are excited to see their connection grow, with Benny’s storyline providing a nice glimpse into their dynamic.
