Benny Blanco, the renowned music producer, recently shared some surprising and intimate details about his personal life during a Q&A session with his fiancée, Selena Gomez, for Interview Magazine. The couple, who confirmed their engagement in December 2024, sat down together for a behind-the-scenes interview following their March cover shoot. While the conversation started lightheartedly, it quickly turned emotional as Blanco opened up about his unique shower rituals and some deeply personal realizations he’s had while in the shower. His revelations left Gomez visibly surprised, creating a moment of vulnerability that fans of the couple found both endearing and intriguing.
Blanco began by confessing that he doesn’t shower every day, but when he does, he makes the most of it. “I sit down in every shower I go into,” he admitted, causing a mix of amusement and curiosity from Gomez. He went on to explain that showering isn’t just a routine for him—it’s a time for deep reflection. “When I feel like I deserve it, I’m in there for so long contemplating life,” he said. This unsettling honesty set the tone for the rest of the conversation, which quickly delved into more emotional territory. Blanco revealed that he finds it “incredible” to cry in the shower, a habit that not only surprised Gomez but also led to a deeper exploration of his inner world.
Blanco’s confession took an unexpected turn when he shared that he often has “death realizations” while showering. “No, like, I realize I’m gonna die, but it’s in the shower,” he elaborated, prompting Gomez to cover her face with the question cards in a mix of shock and playfulness. He explained that these existential moments of clarity often leave him in tears, but the warm water and the act of crying itself somehow make him feel better. “And then it goes away, and then I feel great,” he said, trying to lighten the mood. Despite the awkwardness of the moment, Gomez responded with empathy, acknowledging that “sometimes you just have to have a good cry.” The exchange showcased the unique bond between the couple, blending humor and vulnerability in a way that felt authentic and relatable.
The conversation also touched on the dynamics of their relationship, with Gomez and Blanco agreeing that she is the one who “cries the most” in their partnership. This lighthearted admission added a layer of warmth to the interview, highlighting the comfort and understanding they’ve built together. Their ability to laugh through awkward moments and share deeply personal experiences speaks to the strength of their connection. It’s clear that their relationship is rooted in mutual respect and a willingness to be vulnerable with each other, even when the topics are as unconventional as shower habits and existential crises.
In addition to their personal anecdotes, the couple opened up about how they first met. Blanco revealed that their relationship was years in the making, with Gomez’s mom, Mandy Teefey, playing matchmaker over a decade ago. “It’s actually very difficult to figure out,” Gomez recalled, reflecting on the early days of their friendship. “I was around 16, 17,” she said, while Blanco added that their initial meeting was professional, set up by Teefey just as his career was taking off. At the time, Gomez wasn’t yet a singer, but their shared passion for music created an immediate connection. Over the years, their friendship evolved into something deeper, culminating in Blanco’s romantic proposal in December 2024.
Blanco’s proposal was nothing short of romantic. He presented Gomez with a marquise diamond ring, a nod to a lyric from her 2015 song Good for You. The thoughtful gesture spoke volumes about the attention and care he’s put into their relationship. Gomez, who has been open about her past struggles in love, described falling for Blanco as “really simple.” “We got in the studio to work on a song and we just talked; that’s how easy it was for me,” she gushed. “I liked him before he liked me,” she added, reflecting on the natural progression of their relationship. The couple’s journey from friends to fiancées is a testament to the power of patience and genuine connection.
As the interview came to a close, it was clear that Gomez and Blanco’s relationship is built on a foundation of trust, humor, and mutual appreciation. Their willingness to share their imperfections and vulnerabilities with each other—and now with the world—only adds to the charm of their partnership. Whether it’s Blanco’s emotional shower confessions or Gomez’s candid reflections on love, their story is one of authenticity and devotion. As they look to the future, fans can’t help but root for this couple, whose love continues to grow stronger with each passing day.
