Benny Blanco Calls 1st Kiss With Fiancee Selena Gomez ‘The Best Decision I Have Ever Made'
Benny Blanco is breaking down the moment that he kissed now-fiancée Selena Gomez for the first time.
'I feel like this exact moment will be etched into my memory forever,' Blanco, 37, wrote via Instagram Story on Thursday, March 13, sharing a black-and-white photo of the pair after one of their first dates. 'We were playing 'We Are Not Really Strangers' and the card we pulled said, 'Take a selfie together.'
According to Blanco, Gomez, 32, subsequently laid her head on his chest as he snapped a selfie.
'After we took the photo, I looked at you and could feel ur [sic] heart pounding so hard that I had no other choice but to lean in and kiss you,' Blanco added. 'I can tell you for sure that was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I love you.'
Benny Blanco Knew He Was 'Going to Marry' Selena Gomez After 1st Date: 'Feels So Different'
Gomez reposted Blanco's upload via her Stories as well, writing, 'Love you.'
Gomez, while she worked with the music producer many times before getting together, announced in December 2023 that she and Blanco had been dating for six months. He proposed one year later with a marquise-shaped diamond ring.
'Ever since the 'Good for You' days — that was, gosh, so many years ago — that's the diamond I've always dreamed of,' Gomez said in an Interview profile earlier this month before Blanco chimed in to note that he 'just tried not to f--- up.'
Blanco added, 'She showed me designs and I would always throw little hints. I'd be like, 'Yeah, but if I ever made one, would you want it like this?' And then she changed her mind halfway through. It used to have huge baguettes on the side and then she was like, 'I don't want something that big.''
Blanco and Gomez spoke to Interview in advance of their joint album, I Said I Love You First, which drops Friday, March 21. The LP even features a nod to their first date.

'Our first date was on Sunset Blvd, and it's also the title of our next song together,' Gomez wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, March 11. 'Sunset Blvd out March 14 with @itsbennyblanco.'
Blanco had taken Gomez to the Jitlada Thai restaurant in Los Angeles, where he was quickly besotted with the actress.
'You know when you think you met the right person, you're like, 'Oh, my God.' But it feels so different,' Blanco further noted to Interview. '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.' She's my best friend.'

Justin Bieber Shares Post Allegedly Telling Fan to ‘Worry About Yourself' After Expressing Concern
Justin Bieber is making it clear he doesn't want anyone worrying about him amid growing concerns from fans about his well-being. On Tuesday, June 10, the two-time Grammy Award winner, 31, reposted an Instagram Reel from a fan account on his Story. The Reel featured an alleged comment he left under a now-deleted post by @todayyearsold. The account originally shared a series of text messages they received from what appeared to be their grandfather, which read, 'I am worried about Justin' and 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.' The user wrote, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly then commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.' Fans had mixed reactions to Bieber's alleged remark and discussed it in the comment section, with some people seeing the situation as humorous. 'I love Justin so much😂😂😂😂 so unserious,' one fan gushed. A second fan added, 'This is why I love him since 2009. He is always funny.' 'Leave Justin alone he said he's FINE' a third fan declared. However, others thought Justin's comment further signals that he is struggling with his mental health. One user wrote, 'Actually love him so much, but he definitely needs help.' 'I find this all pretty sad,' a second user commented. 'Bro is totally lost, [it] is sad that people [are] finding [this] funny still,' a third user stated.. Justin's alleged comment comes amid a posting spree on the app. On Sunday, June 8, he shared two black-and-white selfies and wrote that he was 'tired of transactional relationships' in his caption. 'If I have to do something to be loved. That's not love,' he added. Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, also posted on Instagram recently, sharing a summer-themed photo dump with solo shots of herself over the weekend. The Rhode founder, 28, captioned her post, 'lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long. 👍🍋🍸.' However, eagle-eyed fans noticed the model later removed the part about 'therapy,' changing her caption to 'lemon drop martinis all summer long 👍🍋🍸.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that the 'One Less Lonely Girl' hitmaker was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

The user added, 'We all are,' at the top of the post. Justin allegedly commented, 'Worry about yourself gramps.'

'The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' The Rhode founder made it clear that the gossip about her marriage is 'not real.' 'I have a real life,' she told the publication. 'My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family and my son and my friends and I have people that know me and love me and I love them.' Back in February, Justin's rep vehemently denied reports that he was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

Carnie Wilson honours late father Brian Wilson
Brian Wilson's daughter Carnie Wilson has broken her silence on her father's death. "I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now," she began her post, which she shared alongside a photo of her and her sister, Wendy Wilson. "My father @brianwilsonlive was every fibre of my body. He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends." The Hold On singer noted how "lucky" she was to have been his daughter and "had a soul connection with him". "I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven, or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree, his Mom," wrote Carnie. "I will post something else soon but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you Daddy. I miss you so much already." In an Instagram post on 11 June, Wilson's family confirmed that he had died at the age of 82. No cause of death has been revealed. Nancy Sinatra, who collaborated with Wilson on her 2002 album California Girls, called singing with the late artist "one of the biggest thrills of my life" in a heartfelt Instagram tribute. "His cherished music will live forever as he travels through the Universe and beyond," Sinatra captioned the post, alongside a photo of Wilson with his arm wrapped around her. "God bless you, sweet Brian."
