Selena Gomez enjoys date night with boyfriend Benny Blanco in LA after dishing on their 'future'

As a dedicated fan of Selena Gomez, I find myself deeply moved by her latest interviews and personal revelations. The transformation from pop sensation to a promising actress is indeed captivating, but what truly stands out for me is the maturity and wisdom that shines through her words.


On Wednesday, Selena Gomez took a short break from her busy Emilia Perez promotional tour to enjoy a dinner date in LA with Benny Blanco.

32-year-old billionaire and 36-year-old music producer exited the exclusive San Vicente Bungalows, located in West Hollywood, accompanied by their group. (West Hollywood is a neighborhood in Los Angeles County.)

Gomez led the way as she and Blanco made their way out the exit doors and headed towards the valet.

The cozy sighting comes after Gomez revealed whether or not she sees a ‘future’ with Blanco. 

On their evening out, Gomez exuded casual elegance in a sleek black velvet jacket paired with a form-fitting black top.

She styled it with wide-legged jeans and shiny patent leather stiletto heels.

The Disney Channel alum rocked her go-to winged eyeliner and nude lip combo.

Regarding Blanco, the musician known for collaborating with artists like Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber (ex-boyfriend of Selena Gomez), sported a stylish button-up shirt featuring a vibrant, eye-catching pattern.

He completed her head turning outfit with burgundy velvet pants and black leather dress shoes.

Two security escorts aided the pair in maneuvering through the crowd of fans and snapping photographers positioned outside.

Since June 2023, Gomez has been in a relationship with Blanco. However, they chose not to make their romance public until December of the same year.

At that point in time, she utilized Instagram to let her followers know that she had been in a six-month relationship with Blanco under wraps.

Ever since then, Blanco and Gomez have felt no hesitation in openly displaying their relationship, both in public spaces and on digital platforms.

Frequently, she posts affectionate photos with the creator of Teenage Dream and has been seen by his side at numerous high-profile premieres, even walking the red carpet together during events like the 2024 Emmys.

Recently, Blanco shared the story of their unusual first date during an appearance on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream on a Tuesday.

He revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move. 

‘She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me… like we were just talking, and then she said, “You wanna get dinner?” And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,’ he explained.

Blanco stated that he wasn’t feeling anxious about the date as he was already familiar with Gomez, both personally and professionally.

He reassured Cenat that he wasn’t feeling anxious because they had been friends for a long time, likely around 10 to 15 years.

I encountered her at a time when she felt more like an acquaintance. It was a period in our lives where there was a significant age gap between us. However, during our conversation, it seemed as if we had known each other for much longer, and then unexpectedly, she suggested, “Why don’t we grab dinner tomorrow?

And I said something along the lines of, “Let’s meet up first and have some fun together before heading out for dinner with my friends. Would you like that?

Blanco mentioned they shared some beverages, but it wasn’t until later that he understood the Rare Beauty founder had intended it as a date.

‘I didn’t even realize we were on a date. And she was like, “I would’ve worn something different to this date.” And I was like, “Wait, what? We’re on a date?” I had no idea. No idea we were on a date,’ he said.

She departed ahead of schedule as she needed to travel to a location for a video shoot the following day. After a couple of days, we spent time together again, and it struck me that perhaps she had feelings for me. Subsequently, I made my move and kissed her, marking the beginning of what followed.

He went on expressing admiration for Gomez, whom he considers his dearest friend and enjoys spending time with day after day.

In a recent, open conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, published on Wednesday, Gomez also discussed the possibility of a shared future with Blanco.

The actress has been involved in several prominent relationships, ranging from dating another Disney Channel star, Nick Jonas, to a near-decade long relationship (on and off) with Justin Bieber.

But she said that Blanco is the one man who has made her feel the ‘safest.’

In my experience, I have never felt safer than I do now in this relationship, and I can envision a future with this individual, as I shared with the media source.

Due to the security measures Blanco offers, she feels more at ease sharing photos and videos of herself online, which her followers can enjoy.

‘And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,’ Gomez noted.

Even though Gomez is a high-profile celebrity, she emphasizes that she maintains a personal life away from the limelight and enjoys spending time with individuals not deeply immersed in the entertainment industry.

Additionally, she jokingly mentioned that she’s mastered the art of blending in and avoiding attention during dates by covering her face with a scarf, thus preventing herself from being captured in photos.

Yet, recently, Gomez has been in the limelight, focusing on promoting her latest hit movie titled Emilia Perez.

This comedic musical, set in the Spanish language, tells the story of a drug cartel boss (played by Karla Sofia Gascon), who fakes her own death as part of a plan to transition into a woman.

The movie made its debut at the Cannes Film Festival to a flurry of praise, earning a shared best actress award for Gomez, Gascon, Zoe Saldana, and their fellow actress Adriana Paz.

Following a restricted screening in the U.S. and Canada on November 1, the film made its debut on Netflix this past Wednesday, receiving positive reviews from critics.

Gomez told THR this week that making the transition from singing to acting has given her ‘sanity.’

Additionally, she mentioned that she found the Emilia Perez press tour enjoyable since journalists refrained from probing into her private affairs.

In every interview I’ve had about this movie, no one has asked a personal question, which makes me want to thank each reporter by giving them a kiss and say, “Thank you, it’s been so refreshing,” because it feels like a safer space for me. – Gomez
