Selena Gomez’s heart wants what it wants.
And according to her boyfriend Benny Blanco, whom she’s been dating since 2023, that’s exactly why the Only Murders In the Building star made the first move.
“She asked me out,” the music producer revealed to Kai Cenat during a Nov. 19 live stream. “We were just talking, and then she was like, ‘Do you wanna get dinner?’”
In fact, Benny shared that the Wizards of Waverly Place alum was almost too smooth in her approach.
“We just went and got a drink first, and I didn’t even realize we were on a date,” he explained. “She was like, ‘I would’ve worn something different to this date.’ And I was like, ‘Wait, what? We’re on a date?’ I had no idea!”
When the pair hung out again days later, Benny, 36, realized he may have found something special.
“I was like, ‘Yo, I think she likes me,’” he gushed. “Then I literally just kissed her, and then the rest is history.”
