In a recent interview, Selena Gomez has opened up about her cherished friendship with Taylor Swift, her personal journey through mental health, and her eagerly anticipated wedding to fiancé Benny Blanco. The star of "Only Murders in the Building" graced the mic on Jake Shane's podcast, "Therapuss," where she joyfully confirmed her impending nuptials with Benny, the man she first met when she was just 16.
"I'm over the moon with excitement," exclaimed the former Disney darling. When prompted about the delay in tying the knot, Selena explained to the podcast host, "It's just that so much is happening right now. He's wrapping up some important projects, and we both have things we want to finalize before we make it official." However, she added with a touch of humor, "I've never been so certain about anything in my life, and I don't want to jinx it by saying so."
Elsewhere in the engaging conversation, Selena shed light on her deep connection with the "Cruel Summer" singer. "Taylor and I both dated the Jonas Brothers. I was with Nick, and she was with Joe. We were just kids back then," reminisced the 32-year-old. She painted a vivid picture of Taylor at 18, with her "crazy curly hair adorned with bracelets that seemed to stretch up to the sky."
"I remember 'Love Story' was the first song Taylor ever played for me, and it hadn't even been released yet," continued Selena, who plays Emilia Perez in the hit series. She instantly fell in love with the melody, calling it one of the most beautiful songs she'd ever heard. And so, during those tender years, "we became inseparable, our bond forged through the trials of breakups."
"Through all the ups and downs that followed, we stuck by each other's sides, and here we are, 16 years later, still going strong," affirmed the multifaceted artist.
Moreover, Selena joined the ranks of celebrities who bravely discuss their mental health struggles. When asked how she navigates her own challenges, the actress stated emphatically, "I firmly believe in the power of therapy."
"I'm on medication, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be in a position where I can seek help. I wholeheartedly endorse all of it," she concluded, her words resonating with sincerity and strength.
