The vote has caused a lot of controversy because Benny’s appearance is different from previous beauty standards. Some people welcomed this decision: “Yes! He is redefining the word ‘sexy’ with his humor and style!”, “Can’t argue with that choice! He has talent and charm”, “People still wonder why Selena picked him. Benny seems like a great guy”, “He radiates kindness and warmth. It’s great to see him and Selena supporting each other. They both deserve love, happiness and great things in life”…
In an interview with People , Benny Blanco talked about his romance with Selena Gomez. He said: “Every day with Selena is the best day of my life.” The Canadian musician said his favorite part of the day is the morning when the two wake up early and spend time together.
Benny describes Selena as a true best friend who he would do anything with. Benny loves to make Selena’s favorite foods like deep-fried pickles and Taco Bell. The musician also revealed that Selena is a romantic, once renting out a botanical garden for him and often giving him handmade gifts.
Selena and Benny Blanco have been dating since last summer, going public with their relationship in December. The two were friends and worked together on music for years before their relationship blossomed. Benny is the Love On singer’s first official boyfriend since she split from singer Justin Bieber in early 2018.
