Selena Gomez Writes Tribute to Benny Blanco: ‘I Adore This Man’

THE RUNDOWN

• Selena Gomez posted new photos from life with Benny Blanco.
• The music producer won a Kids’ Choice award on Saturday.
• Gomez shared some new hairstyle pics.

On Saturday, Selena Gomez shared new pics with fiancé Benny Blanco, including a brief but heartfelt tribute to their connection. In the first picture, the couple is seated at a table and smiling into the camera. Gomez has her arm around Blanco’s neck and he has grabbed her hand and is giving it a kiss. She is laughing with her eyes closed.

She then shared a shot of Blanco at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Santa Monica, where he won an award for Favorite Viral Song for “Bluest Flame.” Over the picture, Gomez wrote, “I adore this man,” adding a heart emoji.

The Only Murders in the Building star then created some confusion when she shared a shot of herself with curly bangs, writing how much she wished she could be at the awards as well “with all the kiddos.”

But she then clarified it was only a “wiggly wig,” sharing a triptych of black-and-white pictures showing her middle part and no bangs.

On Thursday, Gomez shared a picture of herself and Blanco on a casual walk around Los Angeles.

Gomez and Blanco have been engaged since December 2024 and have reportedly planned their wedding already, though they have been sparing with public details. On an April 30 episode of Table Manners With Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast, they were asked about doing a first dance at the reception.

“I don’t think we’re looking at having one of those,” Gomez began. “’Cause they’re a little—”

“She’s shy,” Blanco interrupted.

“I feel embarrassed,” she clarified. “I will have a special dance with my papa, who he is my grandfather and he’s my mom’s father. And he never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle because good for my mom. She decided to go to Vegas and be like, ‘Whoo,’ and she’s still been with [her husband, Brian Teefey] ever since they were like 26. So it’s very cute that they did that, but I wanted to give him an opportunity to have that.”
