In the latest episode of the podcast program "Friends Keep Secrets", music producer Benny Blanco has shared openly about the love affair between him and Selena Gomez. The talented producer said that his mother was the first person to see the compatibility between him and the singer of "Come and Get It".
Benny Blanco recounted a memory that took place in 2019, when he and Selena Gomez participated in a filming project together. At that time, the male producer was still in another relationship. According to Blanco, his mother was present at the studio and unexpectedly gave a comment about Selena Gomez.
My mother said that I should marry someone like Selena. She thought I should date a girl with qualities like her," he recounted.
Benny Blanco also admitted that he had a good impression of Selena Gomez from previous collaborations. Although maintaining a relationship of colleagues and friends for many years, every time he has the opportunity to interact longer, he admires the personality of the female singer.
I have left work sessions many times and thought Selena is a very wonderful person," Blanco shared.
The producer of "Eastside" said that even his ex-girlfriend once recognized the specialness in the way he mentioned Selena Gomez. According to Blanco, his ex-girlfriend later texted congratulations and said she still remembered him often giving positive comments to Selena, even when they were just friends.
