March 9, 2025: Selena Gomez took to Instagram to share a heartfelt birthday message for her fiancé, Benny Blanco, with a carousel of pictures that captured some of the most special moments from their relationship.
The post, which included snapshots of their vacations, red-carpet appearances, and intimate moments, was accompanied by a touching caption: “I’m not sure what I did to deserve you but damn am I glad you were born.. happy birthday baby.”
In a recent interview with People magazine, Gomez opened up about the deep connection she shares with Blanco, emphasizing how important it is for her to feel valued, seen, and respected in a relationship. “My perspective on it, in a simplistic way, is that I actually feel valued. I feel seen. I feel respected. And I think that’s all I’ve ever really wanted,” she shared, revealing the emotional depth of their bond.
Gomez also reflected on how her relationship with Blanco has helped her grow, particularly in terms of accepting the unconditional love and patience he offers. “He gets so weirded out by me saying this, but genuinely, 10 years ago, I wasn’t in a space in my life where I could have accepted the kind of patience, the kind of unconditional love that he gives me,” she explained.
Blanco, who began dating Gomez in 2023, also shared his thoughts on relationships. He offered some wise advice: “Find your best friend and don’t settle. Happy wife, happy life.” The couple, who got engaged in December 2024, is set to release their collaborative album, I Said I Love You First, on March 21. The album will mark another milestone in their blossoming relationship, with fans eagerly awaiting the creative output of the couple who have been capturing hearts both on and off the stage.
