Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez announced their engagement on December 12, 2024, with Selena sharing a photo of her ring on Instagram, captioned, “Forever begins now…” Fans and friends rallied to congratulate the couple. While there’s been much curiosity surrounding their wedding plans, the couple has remained very tight-lipped.
In a new episode of “Therapuss with Jake Shane” podcast, released on Thursday, July 10, Benny Blanco shared that he and his fiancée, 32, have not yet begun planning their wedding, as they’ve both been very busy.
“Not yet, that’s why we both need to chill. We’ve both been working so much,” Blanco responded when asked whether they had begun preparing for their wedding. “We got engaged and then we were filming music videos for our album, then then it’s holidays, then right after the holidays we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that.”
He continued, “Then she left to film her show Only Murders [in the Building] and then I met her then we hung out for a week and then right after that it’s promo and then I’m writing another book so then I had to write a book and then she came back for one day here and I and then it was my birthday and you know.”
The musician mentioned that the duo has been so busy working on various projects that they haven’t had time to focus on it.
“I think this summer we’re going to sit down and be like, ‘Okay, what are we doing,’” he said.
Speaking about the type of wedding it’ll be, Blanco added, “I think it will be like chill.”
Earlier in the podcast, Blanco mentioned that he needed a break due to his busy work schedule.
“Honestly, I really want to take a little break. I’ve been working so much. I’ve realized I haven’t really had much time off in a while and I’m about to just, I just want to lay in bed and forget what day it is because we’ve been in bed just watching stuff,” he said.
When Shane asked him whether he enjoys those kinds of lazy days, he admitted, “Not usually, but with Selena, I can do it all day.”
“She makes me want to hang out and cuddle, just watch things, just eat food, and have piles of food around us and have the best time ever,” he said.
Back in March, Gomez stated on the TODAY show that she did not want to rush wedding planning because she wanted to “enjoy” her engagement.
“To be honest, I’m just enjoying us in this moment, and yeah, then we’ll get to start the craziness,” she said.
