Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco\u2019s romance has been stealing hearts ever since they dropped their joint album I Said I Love You First<\/em> on March 21. Over the past month, they\u2019ve popped up on a bunch of podcasts and interviews, giving fans a sweet peek into their relationship\u2014and honestly, people can\u2019t get enough of their adorable stories.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, April 30, the couple joined the Table Manners<\/em> podcast with Jessie and Lennie Ware, and they got pretty open about their \u201cembarrassing\u201d first kiss. Turns out, it was such a wild experience that Selena ended up with a rash and her heart racing like crazy!<\/p>\n

Benny shared that on one of their early dates, they played a game called We\u2019re Not Really Strangers<\/em>. One of the cards told them to \u201ctake a selfie with the person next to you.\u201d Selena didn\u2019t hesitate for a second\u2014she just leaned her head on Benny\u2019s chest, snapped a cute selfie, and basically melted everyone\u2019s hearts. Benny was so smitten by Selena\u2019s beauty that he couldn\u2019t help himself and went in for a kiss. But the moment caught Selena off guard\u2014her heart started pounding super fast and she even broke out in a rash! Talk about a memorable first kiss.<\/p>\n

Selena confessed she felt a little embarrassed about how flustered she got. She explained it was because she hadn\u2019t really liked anyone in years. \u201cSome kisses are just for fun,\u201d she said, \u201cbut when you actually feel something behind a kiss, it\u2019s totally different.\u201d She added that she\u2019d been single for about five years, with just a few bad dates sprinkled in, but never felt that kind of spark\u2014so yeah, it caught her by surprise.<\/p>\n

The couple also shared another cute detail from those early days. Apparently, Selena would show up 20 to 30 minutes early for their dates and just hang out outside Benny\u2019s place. Benny joked that he didn\u2019t realize his cameras were catching her waiting there! Selena laughed, admitting she was nervous because she really liked him and wanted to get ready\u2014maybe call a friend for some pep talk or fix her makeup before going in.<\/p>\n

Rumor has it that Benny and Selena started dating around mid-2023. By December, they made it official with a social media post and even hinted at a secret engagement! For some quick background, Selena was previously linked to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, but this new chapter with Benny seems to be all kinds of sweet and special.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
