Selena Gomez is showing her love and support for her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, who is in the running for People magazine’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive.
On November 11, Selena shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram Stories celebrating Benny’s moment in the spotlight, especially as he prepares to be named in the Sexiest Man Alive issue.
She shared a photo from Benny’s People interview and added a sweet note, saying, “Not only do you love me unconditionally… You always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza.”
Benny, a 36-year-old music producer and cookbook author, has been dating Selena since 2023, and their relationship is filled with playful moments and shared interests. One of those moments includes his special talent for recreating Taco Bell’s famous Mexican pizza, which Selena loves.
During his interview with People, Benny revealed that he learned to make Taco Bell’s signature meat from scratch to satisfy Selena’s cravings. He admitted that the process isn’t glamorous—describing the meat as “disgusting but delicious”—but he’s perfected the recipe.
According to Benny, part of the fun of cooking for your partner is learning to make what they enjoy, even if you’re not great in the kitchen.
Benny also gave a piece of advice for anyone in a relationship: “If you don’t know how to cook something, learn it. If you can’t, just order it from somewhere and pretend you made it,” he joked, adding, “But never lie! Especially if you’re a guy, we’re disgusting. No one should even look at us.” He ended with a serious note on chivalry, reminding people to always appreciate their partner and let them know how beautiful they are.
Selena also shared a second Instagram post that captured how deeply in love she is with Benny. She posted a quote that said, “I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do.” She tagged Benny in the post, clearly showing how much she admires and loves him.
In his People interview, Benny also shared a glimpse into their daily life together. He talked about how he and Selena are both early risers and enjoy quiet mornings together before the rest of the world wakes up.
He described their relationship as something truly special, saying, “I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life.”
As People gets ready to announce their 2024 Sexiest Man Alive on November 12, it’s clear that Selena is not only proud of Benny’s career accomplishments but also deeply in love with him as a person. Whether it’s cooking together or just sharing simple, quiet moments, their bond is clearly built on love, humor, and mutual support.
