Benny Blanco predicts marriage with Selena Gomez Taylor Swift “bestie” says having children is ‘my next goal’ ahead of their first anniversary of dating 67 comments…

Benny Blanco has already bought his famous girlfriend Selena Gomez ‘some really good stuff’ to celebrate their first anniversary of dating, which is right around her July 22nd birthday, and things are getting increasingly serious.

When Howard Stern said he predicted marriage for the 36-year-old music producer and the 31-year-old ‘Texican’ pop star, Benny (born Benjamin Levin) replied: ‘You and me both…I gotta get my act together!’

As for children, Blanco announced: That’s like my next goal on the box. I have a lot of God kids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. It’s my thing, I love being around kids!’

The 11-time Grammy nominee co-wrote and produced Selena’s 2023 song Single Soon, which peaked at No. 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

But Gomez – who previously dated Drew Taggart, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber – has technically been collaborating with Benny as far back as 2015 on her second studio album Revival.

‘It was so crazy. When we went out on our first date, I didn’t even know it was a date,’ Blanco admitted.

‘I remember sitting there and she’s like, “Well, I would have worn something different for this date,” and I was like, “What?! We’re on a date?!”‘

The Virginia native said he frequently stares at the two-time Grammy nominee and tells her, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’

‘She’s the coolest, the nicest, the sweetest, like, everything,’ Benny gushed.

‘She’s truly just like my best friend. We laugh all f***ing day. She inspires me.’

For Valentine’s Day, Blanco rented a movie theater to screen Selena’s favorite film Almost Famous and he provided her with all of her favorite foods including fried pickles, Taco Bell, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and nachos.

The Lace It rapper even enjoys the company of Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.

‘They’re the last of a f***ing generation — those guys are genius-level brilliant,’ Benny declared.

Steve is so funny. You know he loves art too he’s big collector, so like I’m always in awe. Marty is dropping gems every day and you can’t help but have a stomach ache from laughing every time you hang out with those guys.’

The Golden Globe-nominated actress is said to earn well over $600K/episode to produce and portray artist Mabel Mora in Steve Martin and John Hoffman’s critically-acclaimed who-done-it series and season four premieres August 27 on Hulu.

Selena currently executive produces and hosts Shauna Minoprio’s six-episode spin-off Selena + Restaurant – airing Thursdays on the Food Network – in which she works in a string of LA’s hottest restaurants.

Blanco has been hard at work promoting his cookbook Open Wide, which is currently ranked No. 6 on the New York Times’ list of bestselling advice, how-to, and miscellaneous books.
