Selena Gomez, the renowned actress and singer, recently revealed that she experienced a profound sense of loneliness before meeting record producer Benny Blanco. Raised as a Catholic in rural Texas, Gomez felt "alone in the world" for five years prior to their relationship. The couple, who have been dating for over a year, announced their engagement in December 2024. Gomez credits her time alone with helping her appreciate Benny's presence in her life.
Gomez, 32, and Blanco, 36, share a deep connection that has brought a newfound sense of value and respect to her life. Speaking candidly about her journey, Gomez expressed gratitude for the changes their relationship has brought.
"I feel valued. I feel seen. I feel respected. And I think that's all I've ever really wanted."
Their bond has flourished over time, leading them to plan a future together that honors both their backgrounds. The couple intends to raise their future children with a blend of their individual values and morals, ensuring a rich cultural heritage for the next generation. Additionally, they plan to incorporate the Jewish tradition of the hora dance at their wedding celebration.
Despite finding love and companionship, Gomez admits she still grapples with life's uncertainties.
"I don't think that I have life figured out in any way."
She attributes her ability to appreciate her relationship with Benny to the years she spent alone.
"I was alone for five years before we got together, and I think that really helped me appreciate someone like Ben."
Gomez's previous roles as a Disney Channel star played a significant part in her formative years, shaping her career as an actress and singer. While she has achieved remarkable success professionally, her personal journey toward finding fulfillment and happiness took time and introspection.
