Selena Gomez is commemorating her music producer fiancé Benny Blanco's 37th birthday with an enchanting array of photographic recollections. On March 8, Saturday, the 32-year-old Emilia Pérez star posted a heartwarming message on Instagram, celebrating the special day of her beloved partner.
The carousel of photos painted a vivid picture of their bond. In one snap, the duo is adorned in snazzy snow gear, skiing together with wide smiles, immersed in the thrill of the slopes. Another captures them posing gracefully ahead of prestigious award ceremonies, including the Oscars and Golden Globes. A cozy moment on a couch finds Gomez donning festive red pajamas while Blanco sports a relaxed green T-shirt, wrapped in each other's arms.
"I’m not sure what I did to deserve you, but I’m incredibly grateful you were born. Happy birthday, baby," Gomez penned in the caption, her affection brimming through the words.
Other photos depict Blanco planting a tender kiss on Gomez's forehead as they stand on a sunset-drenched beach, their silhouettes etched against the golden sky. Another heart-warming snap shows Blanco embracing Gomez from behind, both bursting into grins, their joy infectious.
The couple has always been open about their relationship on social media. Earlier this week, Gomez, the founder of Rare Beauty, shared a hilarious video on Instagram and TikTok, featuring Blanco attempting to apply makeup using her beauty brand's products.
Blanco kicked off the sweet clip with a playful "Where do I start?" before grabbing a Rare Beauty pressed powder, with the camera comically toppling over. He then began dusting the powder on Gomez's nose, pronouncing with mock confidence, "Oh, wait. That's pretty good," eliciting peals of laughter from Gomez.
By the end of the clip, marked by some rather comically misapplied highlighter contour, Blanco joked about doing a decent job. "I think it looks pretty good. Let me see. I don’t know. You look so hot," he said as Gomez zoomed in on her finished look, her amusement evident.
Last month, for Valentine's Day, Gomez and Blanco spoke to Interview magazine about how they complement each other perfectly, savoring every moment in their relationship. "I’m more of an introvert who can be an extrovert, but there has to be an obligation," Gomez shared. "It’s wonderful to have someone who balances that out and encourages me to step out of my comfort zone."
Blanco added that their dynamic is "so good" because "she calms me down when I need it," and he ensures she steps out of the house. "Whenever I’m feeling less than perfect, she knows exactly what to say. I’m frustrated it took this long to find each other. It’s like, ‘How did we not realize this sooner?’ I’m 36 years old," he mused.
In December, Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement on Instagram after more than a year of dating. Last month, they revealed that they were collaborating on an album titled I Said I Love You First, set for release on March 21. This album marks their first project together as a couple, a testament to their blossoming love and creative synergy.
