Benny Blanco may be an open book when it comes to his relationship with Selena Gomez, but there’s one topic he says is strictly off limits. The music producer recently admitted he refuses to spill details about his private life with his wife, making it clear that what happens behind closed doors is staying there.
During a recent episode of his “Friends Keep Secrets” podcast, which he co-hosts alongside Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, Blanco was put on the spot about his relationship with Gomez. When asked to reveal intimate details about their marriage, the producer quickly shut down the conversation. “I’m not allowed to talk about that publicly,” Blanco said.
His answer prompted Lil Dicky to jokingly ask whether the Only Murders in the Building actress had made him sign some kind of NDA. Blanco, however, insisted it had nothing to do with legal paperwork. “No. I’m just like, a gentleman,” he explained. “Kind of just a thing I do. I’m like, a gentleman. So I don’t know. Don’t worry.”
Blanco Has Previously Shared Plenty About Selena Gomez
While Blanco may be staying quiet about one part of their relationship, he has previously shared plenty of other personal details about Gomez. Earlier this month, the producer jokingly revealed that the singer-actress has what he described as the “diet of a 5-year-old.”
During an appearance with Gwyneth Paltrow on the “Goop” podcast, Blanco recalled walking in on Gomez eating fast food first thing in the morning. “This morning I walked in, and she was eating Jack in the Box at 6:45 in the morning,” he shared, adding that Gomez loves “burgers and fries.”
According to Blanco, Gomez tends to favor “whatever is bad for your diet” and “doesn’t really like fruits or vegetables.”
Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco Say They Balance Each Other Out
Even though Blanco is keeping certain details of their marriage private, both he and Gomez have been candid about what makes their relationship work. In a past conversation with Interview Magazine, the couple opened up about how their opposite personalities actually complement one another.
“Oh yeah, I have the best time,” Gomez said of their relationship. “I’m more of an introvert that can be an extrovert, but the obligation has to be there. So it’s nice to have someone who balances that out and gets me out of the house.”
Blanco agreed, explaining that while he may be more outgoing, Gomez brings a sense of calm into his life. “But it’s so good because I get her out, and she calms me down when I need it,” he shared.
Blanco Gets Candid About Deep Connection With Gomez
The producer then got especially candid about just how deeply he feels connected to the singer. “She’s the first person that I’ve been with where I’m like, ‘I don’t even give a f-ck what’s going on. I could sit in this bed with you for 72 hours and feel like I didn’t miss anything,’” Blanco said.
He continued, “She’s like my f-cking heroin and Xanax combined. Whenever I’m feeling anything but perfect, she knows the exact thing to say.”
Blanco also admitted he wishes the pair had figured out their romance sooner. “I’m so pissed that it took this long. It’s like, ‘How did we not figure this out sooner?’ I’m 36 years old,” he added.
Gomez, however, kept it simple, responding: “Timing is everything.”
Benny Blanco Says He ‘Worships The Ground’ Selena Gomez Walks On
Blanco has never been shy about expressing just how deeply he feels for Gomez, previously admitting their relationship completely changed his outlook on life and love. Reflecting on where he was before they got together, the producer revealed he made a conscious decision to slow down and focus on finding the right person. “I remember before I was with her, I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to stop everything I’m doing and just focus all my energy on being a grownup and being with the right person,’” Blanco shared.
Now, Blanco says their relationship feels entirely mutual, with both of them rooting for each other’s success. “Now I worship the ground she walks on, and I feel like she’s the same way to me,” he said. “There’s no ego between us. She’s praying for me to win, and I’m praying for her to win.”
The producer also admitted he constantly thinks about how to make Gomez’s life easier. “And I wake up in the morning. I know she does the same thing, and I’m like, ‘How can I make her life better?’” Blanco explained.
Getting especially candid, Blanco added, “Holding her isn’t close enough. I want to be inside of her whole body. I just feel a thing for her that I can’t even explain. I’m so sappy.”
