Jobaaj Stories
Pop icon Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco have officially become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about love stories. What began as a professional collaboration has grown into a real-life fairytale — complete with a music album, surprise prom, quirky nicknames, and an upcoming wedding that’s as untraditional as it is touching.
🎵 A Love Story Set to Music
Their journey began in the studio, where Blanco produced hits like Same Old Love and Kill Em with Kindness for Gomez. Years later, they turned their romantic chemistry into an emotional music album titled “I Said I Love You First”, which beautifully chronicles their evolution from heartbreak survivors to partners in love.
In March 2025, the album dropped with songs like Call Me When You Break Up and Scared of Loving You. It struck a chord globally. By May, the deluxe version, I Said I Love You First... and You Said It Back, followed — sealing their love story in lyrics forever.
💍 The Proposal That Melted Hearts
In December 2024, Blanco proposed with a stunning marquise-cut diamond ring. And just like that, Hollywood’s most unexpected couple became official fiancés. The engagement was confirmed by Gomez herself on social media, writing, “He’s been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
💃 A Wedding That Breaks All the Rules
Don’t expect the usual tux-and-gown affair. Selena has revealed that they’re ditching the traditional first dance — not out of rebellion, but due to her discomfort with the idea. Instead, she’ll be dancing with her grandfather, making up for a moment he missed at her mother’s wedding.
The couple will still honor Blanco’s Jewish roots with a traditional hora dance, blending cultures in a celebration of love that reflects who they are — quirky, grounded, and deeply connected.
🥹 Prom Queen for a Day
Selena never had a high school prom due to her early fame. So what did Benny do? He rented out a mall, hired a limo, set up a dance floor, and gave her the prom night she never had — corsage, classic photos, and all. It was a moment that went viral and showcased just how thoughtful and playful this duo really is.
😳 The Kiss That Caused a Rash (No, Really)
In a surprisingly funny twist, Selena revealed in an interview that she developed a face rash after her first kiss with Benny Blanco. “It was so disgusting and repulsive,” she joked, adding, “But I still loved it.” Fans loved the candid moment, which only added to the couple’s realness.
💔 Healing from Heartbreak
Selena also reflected on the painful breakup with Justin Bieber, saying she felt “lost” and “alone.” But she emphasized how her relationship with Benny helped her rediscover joy and self-worth. “I’m proud of the woman I’ve become,” she said.
📱 Funny Nicknames & Secret Codes
Blanco had Gomez saved in his phone under the code name "Salami" to keep their relationship private. And in return? She calls him “love,” “honey,” or just “babe.” It's these small, real-life moments that make fans root for them.
