In a recent interview, Benny Blanco revealed that during their dating phase, Selena Gomez would come 30 minutes earlier than the agreed-upon date time and wait in her car.

Gomez and Blanco appeared on the “Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware” podcast, where Blanco shared that his fiancée is obsessed with being on time, and he would see her waiting on his cameras.

“Selena is so insane that when we first started going out on dates, she was so obsessed with being on time, she used to pull up to my house minimum 20/30 minutes early and she would wait outside.

“But she didn't realise that my cameras could see down the street, and her car would be parked outside for like 30 minutes. And she would wait until it was time to come in,” the 37-year-old music producer said.

Gomez denied Blanco’s claims and said that she used to do that solely because she was nervous and have the chance to call a friend in case she needed makeup touch ups.

Blanco also revealed that the “Lose You To Love Me” hitmaker got a rash after their first kiss.

According to Blanco, they were on their second date and playing a get-to-know-you game, which prompted them to take a selfie.

“She got right on my chest and took a selfie, and then right after, I just looked at her and I said ‘I gotta kiss this girl.

“Her heart started beating quickly, she started getting a rash on her face, and she was so nervous,” he shared.

However, Gomez said that the rash was simply because she hadn't liked anyone in a long time.

She added: “When you feel something behind the kiss, it’s completely different. I had been alone for five years, with the exception of a few s***ty dates here and there, but never felt that way.”

The couple started dating in 2023 and got engaged later in 2024. Since then, they have been showing love for each other on social media and have made multiple public appearances together.

The love birds have also worked together on Gomez’s new album titled “I Said I Love You First” which they have been promoting on their social media accounts for weeks now.
