Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco: From Secret Romance to Public Engagement

Selena Gomez

It seems Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have mastered the art of keeping their relationship under wraps — until now. The couple, who have been the center of attention following their engagement last December, have humorously reflected on one of their most memorable and early public appearances together at a Taylor Swift after-party.

As Gomez, 32, and Blanco, 37, shared on the "Countdown To" podcast episode released March 20, arriving early to Swift's after-party left them "mortified", highlighting the celebrity etiquette they hadn’t quite grasped at the time. "Apparently cool people don’t show up to parties on time", Gomez joked about the incident.

Blanco further poked fun at Gomez’s punctuality, adding that they are known for being the first to arrive at gatherings, a habit he humorously compared to his mother’s. Despite the faux pas, the couple look back on the event with fondness, noting how they had to keep their budding relationship a secret during the party, avoiding public displays of affection.

This early incident is now seen as a lighthearted moment in the couple's journey, which includes covert dates at Santa Monica Pier in disguises and careful secrecy about their relationship. As they move forward, Gomez and Blanco aren't hiding anymore. They’ve embraced their relationship publicly and are excited to release their joint album, "I Said I Love You First", which promises to offer fans a deeper glimpse into their musical and personal synergy.

Throughout, Taylor Swift has been a supportive friend, recently confirming her role as Gomez’s flower girl in the upcoming wedding, a testament to the trio’s strong friendship. The engagement of Gomez and Blanco marks a new chapter in their lives, turning what was once a secretive romance into a celebrated union.
