Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Open Up About Wedding Plans and Their New Album: ‘We’re Taking It One Day at a Time’
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are proving that love and creativity can coexist, even when you’re juggling wedding plans and a new album. In a recent interview with *Rolling Stone*, the couple revealed that while Gomez has been mentally planning a new wedding every day, they’re in no rush to make it official. “We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’-type of people,” Blanco said, adding that Gomez is still mesmerized by her engagement ring. The ring, by the way, is a six-carat oval-shaped stunner with a marquise diamond, because apparently, Taco Bell picnics deserve nothing less.
Speaking of Taco Bell, Blanco’s proposal was as unpretentious as it gets—a romantic picnic featuring the fast-food chain. When asked if this felt too ordinary, Blanco shrugged it off, saying, “We’re just living our life every day.” The couple, who have known each other since Gomez was 18, seem to have skipped the awkward getting-to-know-you phase. “My biggest regret is that we didn’t get to do this earlier,” Blanco admitted, though he acknowledged that the timing felt perfect.
Meanwhile, Gomez is channeling her romantic bliss into their upcoming collaborative album, *I Said I Love You First*, set to release on March 21. The album marks Gomez’s first major musical project since *Rare* in 2020, and she described the creative process as deeply therapeutic. “I was very frustrated and kind of confused on where I wanted to go next musically,” Gomez confessed. Blanco, ever the supportive partner, turned her morning musings into lyrics, creating what he called a “cathartic and therapeutic experience.”
It’s refreshing to see a celebrity couple who aren’t rushing to the altar or staging over-the-top proposals for Instagram clout. Instead, Gomez and Blanco are savoring the moment, blending their personal and professional lives in a way that feels authentic. Whether they’re writing songs or planning weddings, they’re doing it on their own terms—and with a side of nacho fries.
