Selena Gomez can\u2019t wait to walk down the aisle and officially become Mrs. Benny Blanco. The singer and actress recently opened up about her engagement and future wedding during an appearance on Therapuss with Jake Shane<\/em> on Wednesday, August 6, and she couldn\u2019t hold back her excitement. \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited,\u201d Gomez gushed, making it clear just how ready she is for the next chapter.<\/p>\n

The couple announced their engagement on December 11, 2024, after about a year of dating, though their connection goes back much further. Gomez and Blanco first crossed paths in 2019 when they worked together on the track I Can\u2019t Get Enough<\/em>. What started as a creative partnership slowly blossomed into something more, and now the two are planning forever together. Gomez admitted she feels completely confident in her choice. \u201cI just have never really felt so sure about something,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

For now, wedding planning isn\u2019t in full swing just yet. Both Gomez and Blanco are focused on their own careers and projects, and they\u2019ve agreed to start digging into the details once things calm down. \u201cWe\u2019re in the middle of our own personal endeavors,\u201d Gomez explained. \u201cOnce those wrap up, we\u2019ll get into all the nitty-gritty of planning the wedding.\u201d Blanco echoed that sentiment when he appeared on the same podcast a month earlier, saying, \u201cWe\u2019re working on so many things that we haven\u2019t even had time to get into it, but we\u2019re so excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for how they went from co-workers to soulmates, Gomez has been refreshingly candid. After working together, she once jokingly asked Blanco to set her up with someone \u201ccute.\u201d Instead, he invited her to one of his famous \u201cdinner nights\u201d with friends. One thing led to another, and soon enough, they were dating. Gomez laughed about how hesitant Blanco was at first. \u201cHe was terrified in the beginning because he\u2019s like, \u2018It\u2019s work and it\u2019s comedy and people are gonna get mad,\u2019\u201d she recalled. Her response? \u201cI don\u2019t give a s\u2014, kiss me.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while the wedding may still be in the early planning stages, Gomez already knows one detail she wants to make sure is on the menu. Skipping the traditional towering cake, she revealed in a Rare Beauty interview that her dream dessert would be none other than biscuits and gravy. She\u2019s still open to having a small wedding cake for tradition\u2019s sake\u2014mainly so she and Blanco can save a piece in the freezer\u2014but the comfort-food favorite is definitely at the top of her list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
