Selena Gomez has always had a soft spot for the pitter-patter of little feet, even before she started swaying to the tunes of Benny Blanco. In a 2022 Rolling Stone interview, she spilled the beans about her dream of settling down and starting a family, whether through the biological route or by opening her heart to adoption. Despite the hurdles posed by her bipolar disorder medication on conception, Gomez remains resolute in her desire to become a mom, echoing her sentiments in TaTaTu’s Giving Back Generation project, where she envisioned herself trading the spotlight for a quieter life focused on philanthropy and family bliss.
But wait, the plot thickens! Just as her ex-flame Justin Bieber made headlines with the baby news with Hailey Bieber in May 2024, Gomez found herself pondering the future in a Time interview, all while navigating the unexpected twists of her newfound romance with Benny Blanco. After five years of flying solo, Gomez had penciled in a plan to embark on the adoption journey at 35 if Cupid hadn’t struck his arrow. Enter Blanco, stage right, and suddenly, Gomez found herself singing a different tune, admitting, “It just happens when you least expect it.”
Fast forward to a May 14, 2024, rendezvous with Howard Stern, where Gomez’s beau, Billboard Music Award winner Benny Blanco, gleefully echoed her sentiments about the stork’s impending visit. With a twinkle in his eye and visions of diaper changes dancing in his head, Blanco confessed his longing for little ones, sharing that parenthood was next on his bucket list. As for sealing the deal with Gomez, Blanco teased Stern with a cheeky grin, hinting that he’s still got a few tricks up his sleeve before popping the question.
But what’s love without a sprinkle of honesty? Gomez spilled to Time magazine about Blanco’s inability to fib, commending his authenticity. As for the wedding bells, Gomez remains cautious, nursing scars from past heartaches and relishing every moment spent in Blanco’s company.
In the realm of Instagram declarations, Gomez isn’t one to hold back. In December 2023, she lit up her feed with a confirmation of her romance with Blanco, declaring him her “absolute everything.” Fending off naysayers, Gomez championed Blanco’s spot in her heart, dubbing him the best thing to ever happen to her and boasting that she’s found relationship nirvana. And according to an Us Weekly insider, the feeling is mutual in Blanco’s court, with both Gomez and Blanco locking eyes on forever and painting vivid pictures of their future together.
