Blanco explained that it was Selena who asked him out. “She asked me out. It was crazy,” Benny said. Having known each other for over ten years, their bond started as a friendship. Benny first met Selena when she was younger, and they later collaborated on several projects, including her 2015 album Revival and their 2019 hit, I Can’t Get Enough.
Recalling the moment Selena invited him out, Benny admitted he didn’t think much of it. “She was like, ‘Oh, you want to get dinner?’ I told her, ‘I’m going to this thing with friends. Why don’t you come, and we’ll grab dinner after?’” The night began with drinks before dinner, but it wasn’t until Selena made a comment that Benny realized it was more than just a casual hangout. “She said, ‘I would’ve worn something different to this date,’ and I was like, ‘Wait, what? We’re on a date?’”
Despite the mix-up, the evening sparked a deeper connection between the two. Although Selena had to leave early due to work commitments, they met again two days later, and Benny realized, “I think she likes me.” He kissed her, and their relationship blossomed from there.
Now, the couple spends a lot of time together. “We’re together every day,” Benny said, adding that Selena is not just his partner but also his “best friend.” While they officially started dating in mid-2023, their long history and close bond have made their relationship even more special. Fans are excited to see their connection continue to grow, and Benny’s story offers a sweet insight into their relationship.
