Benny Blanco Opens Up About Selena Gomez’s Luxurious Date Night Surprise at a Private Botanical Garden

Music producer Benny Blanco has opened up about his relationship with pop star Selena Gomez, revealing details of their unique and thoughtful date nights that show just how special their connection is. In an interview on November 11, Blanco shared that while every day feels like the best day when he’s with Gomez, they go all out for date nights, often opting for experiences that are as romantic as they are personal.

For Blanco, some of the most cherished moments are the simple ones he shares with Gomez in the early morning hours. “I’m a morning person,” Blanco explained, “and it’s my favorite time to be with Sel, because we both wake up really early. It’s like our time before the rest of the world wakes up.” These peaceful mornings offer a moment of intimacy and calm away from the busy world of entertainment and fame.

When it comes to date nights, however, the couple doesn’t hold back on creating memorable experiences. Blanco, 36, shared an especially memorable occasion when Gomez surprised him with an extraordinary gesture. “One time, Sel was like, ‘Oh, I want to take you on a date,’” he recalled. “We drove somewhere, and she had rented out an entire botanical garden just for me.” This private night under the stars surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers was an unforgettable experience for the music producer and is a testament to Gomez’s creative approach to romance.

Despite their occasional luxury outings, Blanco highlighted that both he and Gomez appreciate simplicity as well. He recounted a Valentine’s Day celebration where he kept things low-key yet heartfelt, crafting a night filled with Gomez’s favorite comfort foods and treats. “She likes it really simple, too. For Valentine’s Day, I got her Taco Bell, made her movie theater nachos, found her favorite Texas pickles, and fried them up for her. Then [I gave her] all her candy and Hot Cheetos,” he shared with a smile.

The couple’s creativity extends to their gift-giving as well, with Blanco revealing that they often make gifts for each other, adding a personal touch to their gestures. “The first time Selena and I were going to be really long-distance for a while, she made a bear that, when I squeezed its hand, said, ‘I miss you so much. You’re going to be okay. I’ll see you when I get back,’” Blanco said. “She’s really good at gift-giving. She does the same thing I do — most of our gifts, we make for each other.”

In October, Benny showed his support for Gomez by attending her Rare Impact Fund charity event. Their display of affection at the event highlighted the comfort and support that they bring to each other’s lives, something that Gomez has previously spoken about with gratitude. In an interview with Zane Lowe in February, Gomez shared how important it is to her to be with someone who respects her and understands the unique world she lives in. “I think it’s really important to meet someone who respects you,” she said. “And I think it’s also really nice to have someone who understands the world that I live in.”

With these insights, Benny Blanco’s admiration for Gomez shines through, underscoring the depth and joy of their relationship. From luxury date nights in secluded gardens to thoughtful gifts crafted by hand, it’s clear that both Benny and Selena have found a special connection in each other, making every moment — both big and small — meaningful.
