And yes, he tossed in some tantalizing wedding-planning hints.

Fans have been wondering: How seriously is this superstar couple taking their nuptial plans?

Between music, mental health, and marriage plans, Benny’s spellbinding honesty paints a vivid picture of two superstars savoring life’s sweet, slower moments.

Life, love and lounge mode: What Benny Blanco said about his relationship and wedding planning

When asked about where things stand, Benny didn’t mince words: he and Selena haven’t dove into wedding planning yet, they’re just too caught up in work and the joys of being together. He confessed,

“Honestly, I really want to take a little break… I just want to lay in bed and forget what day it is,” but emphasized that with Selena, doing absolutely nothing is his “best time ever.”

How’s that for relationship goals?

Between shoots for music videos, her Only Murders in the Building commitments, holiday promo, and his book-writing marathon, the timeline’s been more hustle than honeymoon, but that’s exactly why this summer might finally mark the start of wedding prep.

“We’re both working on so many things that we hadn’t even had time to get into it but we’re so excited. I think this summer we’re going to sit down and be like, ‘Okay, what are we doing,’” he shared optimistically. And how does he envision the big day? Not over-the-top, but “chill” and “lit”, yes, you read that right, promising a relaxed celebration full of warmth, fun, and authentic vibes.

Benny also revealed how grounded their engagement is. They decided to tie the knot in December 2024 during a cozy picnic that included Taco Bell, showing they're all about embracing ordinary moments. Selena, who’s apparently planned “a new wedding in her head” every day, is as invested in this as Benny, though she’s not afraid to change ring styles mid-process if she wants. Benny joked about trying “not to f‑k up” the ring design, admitting he was relieved when she scrapped the side baguettes for something simpler and more refined.

Their joint album, I Said I Love You First (March 21, 2025), is not just a creative collaboration, it’s a love story captured in melodies. From late-night writing sessions to couch cuddles that sparked songs like Call Me When You Break Up, their bond bleeds pure chemistry. Add Benny’s openness about living with OCD and desire to unwind with Selena at home, and you’ve got a couple who’s celebrating love unapologetically, while keeping it real, fun, and profoundly human.

Their recent engagement: Simple, sincere, unforgettable

The couple’s engagement in December 2024 was as genuine as it gets: a marquise‑cut diamond on Selena’s finger, presented during a picnic they topped off with Taco Bell, because real love doesn’t need fancy frills. Selena shared the moment on Instagram with:

“forever begins now…,” and since then, the pair have embraced a “one‑day‑at‑a‑time” approach to planning their life together.

Between album prep and everyday plans, their engagement has been a reminder that timing, dedication, and a touch of spontaneity make for a love story designed to last.

In their world, wedding planning is momentarily on the back burner, but the foundation is rock-solid, and romantically spontaneous. With an album that doubles as a love letter and a proposal that includes Taco Bell under the stars, Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez are redefining what it means to live large in love. They’re taking things slow, savoring every genuine moment, and will eventually sit down this summer to map out their “chill,” yet undeniably lit, wedding day. And hey, in their hands, even the simplest act, like binge-watching TV in bed with piles of food, becomes the stuff of headline-worthy romance. This truly feels like “the best time ever."
