Selena Gomez channeled Benny Blanco's love so effectively, she didn't even realize it was happening at the time.
In a new interview with Wall Street Journal published on Thursday (April 25), the producer opened up about his romance with the pop star, who he started dating in June. “I was the last to know,” he recalls. “It's crazy how your partner can be sitting there all the time, right in front of your eyes, and you don't notice, and then you have this Ignorant moment when you're like, “Wait, I'm in love.”
The “Eastside” artist also revealed that he finally realized his feelings for Gomez while the pair were on a recording session together. Most recently, the partners-turned-couple worked on Only murders in the building The August star's single “Single Soon,” which ironically finds the singer celebrating her newfound independence.
Since then, Gomez has released another track titled “Love On,” produced by The Monsters & Strangerz and Isaiah Tejada. She's confirmed in recent months that she's working on a new album, which may bring even more team-ups from the Emmy nominee and her beau — who also previously collaborated on Blanco's 2019 single “I Can't Get Enough ” with Tainy and J. Balvin.
Besides music, Gomez and Blanco have also bonded over another shared passion – food. The founder of Rare Beauty hosts a cooking show called Selena + Chef in Max (like the upcoming Selena + Restaurant on the Food Network), and the “Lonely” creator is preparing to publish a cookbook titled Broadly This spring.
Blanco said WSJ that he and his girlfriend are often in the kitchen together and recently cooked a steak dinner for their families. The pair have been open about their relationship since Gomez confirmed they were dating in a series of Instagram comments in December, later posting photos of Valentine's Day celebrations and their “virtual first date”.
