Benny Blanco says there was no complicated strategy behind winning Selena Gomez’s heart. For him, the key was much simpler: paying attention and treating her with kindness.
During a recent television appearance, the producer reflected on the early days of their relationship and explained that thoughtful gestures mattered more than anything extravagant. He said he focused on listening, communicating, and making Gomez feel cared for, rather than trying to impress her with expensive plans.
Blanco has previously shared similar details about their romance, including cooking foods Gomez enjoys and planning dates around things that feel personal to her. The couple had known each other and worked together for years before their friendship became romantic in 2023.
Gomez publicly confirmed their relationship later that year. Their relationship continued to develop, leading to an engagement and eventually marriage in September 2025.
Blanco’s latest comments offer another glimpse into a relationship that began with friendship, grew privately, and has since become a major part of both stars’ public lives.
