Selena Gomez holds hands with rumored fiancé Benny Blanco at the Malibu Chili Cook Off

BBG News

As a seasoned observer of the glamorous world of Hollywood, I must say that Selena Gomez’s career trajectory is nothing short of inspiring. From her humble beginnings on Disney Channel to her current status as a respected actress and successful entrepreneur, Selena has consistently proven her versatility and resilience in the face of adversity.

On Monday, I, being an enthusiastic admirer, strolled hand-in-hand with the renowned Selena Gomez and her rumored fiancé, Benny Blanco, toward the entrance of the 42nd Annual Malibu Chili Cook-Off.

As a devoted companion, I found myself part of an unbreakable duo whose romance blossomed in the scorching heat of June 2023. We tried to blend in anonymously amidst the lively beachgoers, but our unique choice of black disposable face masks became our signature, setting us apart from the sea of faces that graced the sandy shore.

The 32-year-old Emmy nominee showcased her arms in a white, flowing halter top paired with loose eyelet harem trousers and animal-patterned sandals.

Selena pulled her dark hair back with a soft pink headband, and there was no gold band on the fourth finger of her left hand, hinting at no recent marriage or engagement.

Gomez stood there, accompanied by their two towering security guards, while a 36-year-old music producer underwent a metal detector check and had their possessions inspected by security personnel.

Selena, the producer-host of Selena + Restaurant, along with her partner Benny, being avid food enthusiasts, were undoubtedly eager to explore the chili competition and the assortment of locally renowned eateries set up for the event at the Boys & Girls Club fundraiser.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’d like to share an outfit inspiration from the fashionable Benjamin Levin, who goes by Blanco. He effortlessly pulled off a laid-back, quirky look with a white and yellow knitted bucket hat, a short-sleeved green button-up shirt, khaki pants, and a pair of green slides – perfect for a casual yet stylish day out!

During the four-day occasion, there were carnival attractions, a daily bubble celebration, a skating competition, a 24ft-tall climbing wall, and an adult-only Town & Country Lounge area.

Over the weekend, other notable figures like Jamie Foxx, Christian Bale, Addison Rae, Gene Simmons, Damien Chazelle, Jamie Mazur, Bijou Phillips, Candace Parker, Kevin Connolly, North West, and Amber Rose were seen at the Malibu Chili Cook-Off.

On Sunday, the 11-time Grammy nominee shared a ‘couples challenge’ on TikTok where they surprisingly matched answers, even with their eyes closed.

Selena and Benny each thought the other had a superior kissing technique and a more appealing style, but since they aren’t married yet, they didn’t discuss whose mother-in-law favored them.

Gomez expressed his affection first, requires the most care, and may be at a higher risk of being apprehended. On the other hand, Blanco is more humorous, a superior chef, and tends to take more time before getting dressed.

The twice Grammy-nominated artist with curly hair and the musician were unable to determine which one initiated more disagreements or who was the more pampered one.

On August 30, Selena posted a story on Instagram with numerous pink heart emojis over what some speculated was her engagement ring. This came about four weeks following gossip blog DeuxMoi’s claim that she and her partner allegedly got engaged in their typical beach house setting, surrounded by friends.

When Howard Stern stated that he had foreseen a marriage between Benny and Gomez as far back as May, his response was: “We’re on the same page here…I need to sort myself out!”

Regarding children, he mentioned that spending time with them is similar to his upcoming goal – it’s something he really enjoys. He has many Godchildren and numerous nephews, which he cherishes greatly because he loves being around kids.

In collaboration with the ‘Texican’ pop sensation, the author of “Open Wide” contributed to writing and producing the hit single “Single Soon,” released in 2023, reaching the impressive position of No. 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

However, it’s worth noting that Selena has a history of collaboration with Benny Blanco dating back to 2015, during the production of her second studio album, Revival. Prior to this, she was romantically linked to Drew Taggart, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber.

It’s reported that Gomez is making more than half a million dollars per episode as both producer and actor for portraying Mabel Mora, the Arconia resident and artist, during the 10-episode fourth season of Only Murders in the Building, which is currently broadcast on Hulu every Tuesday.

Previously known as a star on Disney Channel, she is set to vie for the award of Excellent Actress in a Comedy Series at the 76th Primetime Emmys. These awards will be broadcasted on ABC on September 15.

Selena is up against some tough rivals in the form of Quinta Brunson from Abbott Elementary, Ayo Edebiri from The Bear, Maya Rudolph from Loot, Jean Smart from Hacks, and Kristen Wiig from Palm Royale.

Gomez received the Best Actress award at Cannes for her portrayal as Jessi Del Monte, the spouse of a transgender Mexican cartel leader, in Jacques Audiard’s highly-praised film Emilia Pérez, which will be showing in selected theaters on November 1st and streaming on Netflix starting November 13th.

In a separate endeavor, the creator of Rare Beauty is preparing to take on the role of 11-time Grammy Award winner Linda Ronstadt in an upcoming biographical film directed by David O. Russell. This movie is being produced by John Boylan, who was previously her manager.
