How Selena Gomez’s Mom Set Her Up With Now Fiance Benny Blanco; Find Out Full Story

In a recent chat with Interview magazine, Selena Gomez and her future husband, Benny Blanco, revealed an endearing tale of how they initially crossed paths, all thanks to Selena’s mom, Mandy Teefey. This delightful duo, who got engaged in the winter of 2024, gave us a peek into the early days of their relationship, which sparked years before they started dating romantically.

Gomez disclosed that her initial encounter with Benny Blanco occurred when she was approximately 16 or 17. As Blanco put it, “Her mom arranged a get-together for us.” At that point, Gomez hadn’t yet embarked on her singing career, while Blanco was merely starting to gain recognition in the music world.

He mentioned that their first release of music was around 2013, approximately. For the past eight years, Mandy and Brian Teefey, her stepfather, have been managing Selena Gomez’s career since her rise to fame on the Disney Channel.

Blanco reminisced about the time when he grew fond of Gomez’s music during her initial years with Disney Records. “I was absolutely captivated by it,” he shared, “and I think she was the pioneer of the melancholic sound.

I found myself captivated by the stark juxtaposition of her melodies against the mainstream tunes. “Most were into [beatboxing], but she stood out with ‘I just want to look good for you.’ [A chuckle escaped me]

As they collaborated on creating music, their romantic bond deepened. Gomez confided that her affection for Blanco started to blossom during the process of making a song together. “It was quite straightforward,” she admitted.

In the studio, we simply worked on a track and chatted – it felt incredibly natural between us. That’s when Gomez admitted her feelings for him, surprising him as he hadn’t noticed her interest yet.

Blanco confessed, “I was completely clueless,” revealing that initially, he had proposed introducing her to his circle of friends. It wasn’t until their second date that Blanco discovered she was the one for him. “As soon as we began spending time together, I thought, ‘This is my future wife,'” he explained.

White spoke highly of Selena Gomez, referring to her as his dearest friend, and expressed how fitting he believes she is for him. In December 2023, Gomez publicly acknowledged their relationship by liking supportive posts and expressing on Instagram, “He means everything to me, forever engraved in my heart.

2024 saw me, a star-struck fan, finally catching my idols together at the Emmys for their first public outing! This dynamic duo had already worked magic together on Gomez’s smash hit “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019, but it wasn’t until June 2023 that their romantic connection ignited. Now, I can hardly contain my excitement as we eagerly await the release of their upcoming album, “I Said I Love You First,” set to drop on March 21, 2025!
