Benny Blanco lifts the lid on ridiculous fight with fiancée Selena Gomez while recording joint album I Said I Love You First: 'She was upset'
Benny Blanco - real name Benjamin Joseph Levin - has gotten candid about the only fight he had with his fiancée Selena Gomez while recording their new joint album. The producer, 37, who recently released the 14-track album I Said I Love You First with the Calm Down hitmaker, appeared on The Project on Wednesday night where he reflected on the record-making process and working with his soon-to-be wife. Benny revealed that it was smooth sailing making an album with mega star Selena, adding that she is 'the best thing' to have ever happened to him. However, he did lift the lid on one small argument the couple had while recording the album - and it was about birds. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'She was upset that there were birds outside of the window that were chirping when she recorded and I didn't hear the birds. 'And then whenever I walked in, the birds were not happening,' he laughed. 'So the birds were our only disagreement the entire time.' Despite the couple's small spat, the multi award-wining producer dubbed Selena his 'best friend'. 'They say: "when you know, you know" and I never believed that my whole life - but I actually met my best friend.' 'If we were the only people left on earth, I would be completely fine spending every moment with nobody else in the world except her,' he sweetly said. Benny and Selena confirmed their relationship in December 2023, with the pair getting engaged a year later. 'Forever starts now,' Selena wrote at the time, showing off her sparkling diamond ring. Speaking of the upcoming nuptials, The Only Murders in the Building star admitted she's planning to ditch the classic bride and groom dance at their reception because she's too shy. 'I don't think we're looking at having one of those 'cause they're a little — I feel embarrassed,' she said on an episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware. But while there won't be a traditional first dance, Selena revealed she's making room for a deeply meaningful moment — a special dance with her grandfather. 'He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle,' she shared. 'I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that.' Selena and Benny have known each other for over a decade — since 2013, when he first met her mom, Mandy Teefey. He later co-produced two of her hits Kill Em With Kindness and Same Old Love, from her 2015 album Revival. Their new album I Said I Love You First also includes a slew of featured artists such as Gracie Abrams, The Marias, GloRilla, Tainy and J Balvin, with Finneas and Charli XCX also contributing as songwriters.
