Benny Blanco Reveals Kids Is His “Next Goal” Amid Selena Gomez Romance
Selena Gomez’s Boyfriend Benny Blanco Reveals Exact Moment He Realized He Was in Love
Benny Blanco doesn’t plan on being single anytime soon.
In fact, the music producer—whose girlfriend is Selena Gomez—wants the next chapter of his life to involve wedding bells and a growing family.
“I want to have kids,” Benny explained on The Howard Stern Show May 14. “That’s the next goal, to check the box. I have a ton of godkids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.”
While the “East Side” producer made it clear he sees children in his future, he played coy about a potential proposal to Selena. Although he’s hoping to hear wedding bells, Benny also admitted he doesn’t have a ring yet.
“I don’t have anything,” the 36-year-old noted and jokingly added, “I got no shoes on. I gotta get my act together!”
But when it comes to his feelings for the “Single Soon” singer, Benny is ready to shout them from the rooftops. “When I do look at her,” he reflected, “I’m always like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.'”
Since the couple debuted their relationship in December, they’ve found ways to express their love publicly. In fact, Selena shared a sweet birthday tribute where she proclaimed what she loves most about Benny.
“Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me,” she wrote on Instagram in March. “I love you @itsbennyblanco.”
And Selena previously shared the positive impact he’s had on her life. “I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 in February. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in.”
“I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel,” the 31-year-old continued. “It’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
