Selena Gomez Is Saving Benny Blanco Proposal Details—And the Reason Is So Cute
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are having quite a busy start to the year. After announcing their engagement in December, yesterday, the pair announced that they would be dropping an album—together. This news was followed by the couple's first joint interview in Interview Magazine. Speaking to the magazine's editor-in-chief, Mel Ottenberg, the pair opened up about their adorable relationship—they are both morning people! They love to go on both cozy and fancy dates together! They are each other's best friends! It's all super cute. But one moment of the interview was particularly touching.
When Ottenberg asked the pair to open up about the proposal, Gomez explained that she wanted to keep the details private for now—her reason? "That I want to save for our kids," she said. She did add, "It was really sweet and the right things were said."
The proposal was certainly a unique one. Based on videos posted by the pair on social media, it appeared to take place on a Hollywood soundstage set up to look like a picnic in the park. Even more unusual? It turned out the picnic was all food from Taco Bell. Not exactly your classic proposal, but as an insider later told People, it was perfect for Gomez. "It was very her," the source said, adding, "it was a total surprise to Selena."
In their new interview, Blanco confirmed that his proposal was indeed a big surprise. "It was the sickest surprise that she had no idea about and it couldn't have come at a better time because I was starting to fuck up," he said.
He went on: "The thing that makes me so crazy is, you're getting engaged, and right before, they're like, 'Show me how good of a liar you are. Sneak around and try to do this perfect thing without me knowing.' At the end, she was starting to get upset because she was like, 'Why aren't you coming home tonight?' And I was like, 'Oh, I'm just at my friends.' I almost did it early. But I nailed it, I think."
Gomez confirmed, "You did."
Gomez and Blanco have been an official couple since December 2023, but they actually met years earlier. The pair collaborated on the songs "Kill Em With Kindness" and "Same Old Love" in 2015 and later on Gomez's 2023 song "Single Soon". As Blanco explained in their recent interview, they were actually set up (professionally) by her mother. "This is right when I became big and she wasn't a singer yet," he said.
Gomez and Blanco were friends for years until Gomez realized she wanted something more. "I liked him before he liked me," she said. The pair went out for dinner a few times and that was that. "The second we started hanging out, I was like, 'This is my wife.' I was telling my mom, 'This is the girl I'm going to marry,'" Blanco said.
Asked their wedding plans, the pair said they hadn't gotten that far yet. As Gomez put it, "We want to be so happy right now in this moment."

Brit Eady Skips 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 16 Reunion Taping, Kenya Moore 'Not Invited' (Exclusive Sources)
Kenya Moore and Brit Eady are both missing from the Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion, which films June 5 in Atlanta Moore was suspended mid-season after sharing explicit photos of Eady, in retaliation for Eady's comments about having a "pistol" for Moore. The reunion to will air this summer on Bravo The Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion will be missing two of its stars. PEOPLE can exclusively reveal that Brit Eady and Kenya Moore both won't appear on the annual season wrap-up, which films in Atlanta on Thursday, June 5. Each is absent for different reasons. A source tells PEOPLE Eady, 37, skipped the taping on her own accord amid a falling out with her costars, while Moore, 54, was disinvited by Bravo to participate in the reunion. Housewives Porsha Williams, Phaedra Parks, Shamea Morton Mwangi, Kelli Ferrell and Angela Oakley were all in attendance, as was Cynthia Bailey, who returned to the franchise this season as a Friend. Reps for the network did not immediately respond when contacted for an explanation, but did release a reunion seating chart on Thursday that did not include Eady and Moore in the mix. Eady and Moore's teams did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Moore was the longest running RHOA star when season 16 began filming back in April 2024. But her time in the season was cut short when on June 25 of that year, her cast members were told she would no longer be a peach-holder. The former Miss USA winner and actress found herself in hot water when she exposed sexually explicit photos from Eady's past to guests at the June 6-opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa. She was suspended and, after an internal investigation, exited the series. A source told PEOPLE at the time Moore was retaliating against Eady after Eady allegedly threatened Moore with a gun during a heated confrontation caught on camera. "Kenya was concerned for her safety, that is the truth," the insider said. "Never for one second did Kenya feel like she was being taken seriously for her fears. It's unfair." But a second insider close to the show insisted that "at no time was Kenya ever threatened with a weapon, nor was there ever a weapon present during the course of production." Viewers eventually got to see the conflict play out during the airing of season 16, where Eady in fact was shown boasting about having a "pistol" for Moore. Eady has claimed her comments were a mistake made in the heat of the moment, and that she "never had a gun in my possession at all." "I still beat myself up, just the act that I allowed her to trigger me. There's no excuse for what I did, for what I said," she explained during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. "I felt attacked ... I mentioned a pistol, which I never should have. And I was wrong." Apologies have come from Moore, as well. "Hindsight is always 50/50," she said during a November 2024 appearance on Tamron Hall. "If I could do it all over again, I believe the photos were very distasteful, and I elevated the situation. I've elevated situations before, and I've taken full accountability for the things that I've done." She went on to express how "sorry" she was for what she'd done, adding that, "I didn't have to take it that far." "I felt threatened..." she said. "I've never had a child in a situation like this before. So, that's why it escalated to the point where I was protecting not only myself, but my child." Since then, Moore has received support from many of her fellow RHOA stars, including Williams who told PEOPLE at Bravo Fan Fest 2024 in Miami that "forgiveness should be in everyone's future in their own time." "I think that was very noble of her to apologize," said Williams. "At the end of the day, everybody's human. Some people have thresholds, and then you break it and then they go low — or they go all the way to hell. But either way, once you recognize that you've done something to hurt someone and you acknowledge it? I think, let's start there."

As for a possible return to RHOA, Moore said on Tamron Hall that she and executive producer Andy Cohen have "had some conversations" and that he's been a "great support system" throughout the ordeal. "He has called, he has checked on me, he has given me advice. And I feel like he's a really good friend and I just appreciate the support," she said of Cohen and the network. "That was my family for 12 years. I love them and I feel like they love me, it was just a really unfortunate situation." Cohen, at Bravo Fan Fest, echoed his support for Moore, telling PEOPLE he was "proud" of her for taking accountability but adding that no decisions about her possible return have been made yet. The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays (8 p.m. ET) on Bravo, and streams the next day on Peacock. The reunion is expected to premiere this summer. Read the original article on People

The Booksmart and Theater Camp actress, 29, avoided addressing the liplocked snaps directly when asked about them by Vanity Fair, only saying, "With the internet, I just think — I even see it in myself as a fan of things — we're just a more judgmental society." Gordon joined season 2 of The Bear as Claire Dunlap, the childhood sweetheart of White's Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto. The two pursue a relationship after a chance meet-cute in the grocery store, but are currently not together in the series. However, last September, the co-stars were photographed kissing in Los Angeles, arms wrapped around each other as the embraced and shared a kiss. A month later, Gordon and White, 34, were spotted stepping out for dinner in New York City's West Village. After the PDA photos, a source told PEOPLE there were on-set rumors that the co-stars "had intense chemistry even when not filming" but that they had only recently started "exploring their chemistry" in real life. The source added that White "really seems into" Gordon. Elsewhere in her Vanity Fair interview, Gordon opened up about how she was cast on The Bear. Having previously met creator Christopher Storer, she said she signed up for the restaurant drama only knowing she'd be playing a doctor — not that she'd be Carmy's love interest, whom he affectionately calls "Claire Bear." "I'm always 'the friend,' " she said. "I've never played the romantic person. I was like, 'Whoa, this is going to be a different experience.' " Gordon said White's protagonist "is a character that people feel so protective over, and it's been kind of controversial to bring a romantic element into the show." "That's been at times annoying, fascinating and interesting — just to be a part of something that people have opinions on," she added.
