Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Delay Wedding Plans for New Album Release
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are proving that love and music go hand in hand, even if it means putting wedding plans on hold. The couple, who got engaged in December during a Taco Bell picnic (because nothing says romance like a Crunchwrap Supreme), are currently channeling their energy into their upcoming album, *I Said I Love You First*, set to drop on March 21. According to Rolling Stone, Selena is so consumed by wedding ideas that she’s practically planning a new ceremony in her head every day. Yet, the duo insists that their musical collaboration is their top priority for now.
In a joint interview, Selena, 32, gushed about the album being a deeply personal project, blending their individual stories into a cohesive narrative. “This whole project embodies his stories combined with my stories,” she said, adding that each song carries dual meanings unique to their relationship. Benny, 37, echoed her sentiments, emphasizing their “one day at a time” approach to life and love. “We’re still not over this moment,” he admitted, noting that Selena can’t stop staring at her engagement ring.
The couple’s creative process was as intimate as their relationship, with the album being recorded entirely at home. “That’s the most intimate I’ve ever been in a studio,” Selena revealed, highlighting the comfort and love that fueled their collaboration. The project also features contributions from close friends, making it a labor of love in every sense.
While fans eagerly await their wedding, Selena and Benny seem content to let their music do the talking for now. Their relationship, which began in July 2023, has been a whirlwind of public displays of affection, art exhibits, and basketball games, all documented on social media. Selena’s Instagram tributes to Benny, including a heartfelt birthday post, have only added to the couple’s charm.
So, while the wedding bells may be on mute, the couple’s love story is playing loud and clear through their music.
