Benny Blanco Says He Thought ‘I’m Going to Have a Baby with This Person’ After First Kiss with Selena Gomez

Benny Blanco knew Selena Gomez was the one early on.

On Wednesday, March 19, Blanco and Gomez appeared on Spotify’s Countdown To series and opened up about the early days of their relationship. In one instance, the music producer revealed what was going through his head after their first kiss.

“I knew right after we kissed, I was like, ‘Oh wow. I’m probably going to marry this person,’” the producer, 37, said to the actress/singer, 32, who’s his fiancée.

Then, he corrected himself. “Well, I didn’t say marry but I was like, ‘I’m probably going to have a baby with this person.’”

Gomez — who was holding her hand up to her face — responded by saying that was “so cute.”

Moments before, the couple discussed their first date — which Blanco didn’t even know was a date — and he revealed what the “Who Says” singer texted him afterward.

“I had the best time I’ve had in years. I can’t even remember having a time this good,” he said, recalling her message to him.

Blanco proceeded to ask Gomez if she was “excited” after their first date, and she confirmed she was.

“I thought you were so fun,” the “Lose You to Love Me” musician added.

In a teaser for the episode, which comes ahead of their I Said I Love You First album release, the couple discussed how the album came together, and Blanco joked that he felt like her “personal journal.”

“I was just, constantly writing whatever you said, wherever we were,” he continued. “Sometimes you’d be saying something, like, really important, and I would — I didn’t know if you even realized — but I would open my phone and be like, ‘F—, that’s such a good line for a song.”

Meanwhile, Gomez said that she did notice Blanco taking notes. “But I was very — you know me. I could just sit there and talk…it didn’t bother me, if that’s what you’re asking,” she added, laughing.

So far, the couple has released three songs off the album: “Scared of Loving You,” on Feb. 13, “Call Me When You Break Up” with Gracie Abrams on Feb. 21, and “Sunset Blvd.” on March 14.

The music video for “Sunset Blvd” was a nod to their first date, which was at Jitlada Thai Restaurant on Sunset Boulevard.

Earlier that week, the couple visited the restaurant and recreated the shrimp curry dish they ate, sharing the romantic results to Instagram.
