Selena Gomez Was ‘Embarrassed' After First Kiss With Benny Blanco Gave Her a Face Rash
Selena Gomez could barely calm down when she kissed fiancé Benny Blanco for the first time, with the singer-actress recently recalling how the moment got her so worked up, her skin broke out in a reaction that left her 'a little embarrassed.' While appearing on an episode of Table Manners With Jessie and Lennie Ware posted Wednesday (April 30), Gomez and the producer both gushed about the day they first locked lips early on in their relationship, which started in mid-2023. According to Blanco, the two were playing the get-to-know-you game We're Not Really Strangers on their second date when one of the prompts directed them to take a selfie.

It was so good, in fact, that the Only Murders in the Building star's face immediately started to betray her. 'Her heart started beating quickly, she started getting a rash on her face, and she was so nervous,' the 'Eastside' musician recalled, joking that the rash was actually because 'I was so disgusting and repulsive.' In reality, Gomez says her skin became inflamed simply because she 'hadn't liked anyone in a very long time.' 'When you feel something behind the kiss, it's completely different,' she explained. 'I had been alone for about five years with the exception of a few s–tty dates here and there, but never felt that way … I was a little embarrassed, but he was like, 'Are you OK?' And I was like, 'No, no, I'm fine.' I didn't want to be like, 'I like you, I really like you.'' The couple has been together ever since, with Blanco asking his fiancée to marry him in December. Shortly after their engagement, the couple dropped a joint album titled I Said I Love You First, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. Listen to Gomez and Blanco recall their first kiss below.

Benny Blanco Fills Bathtub With Queso for Selena Gomez's Extra-Cheesy Valentine's Day Gift
Benny Blanco knows that Selena Gomez is a fan of cheesy Valentine's Day gestures — literally. In celebration of this year's Day of Love, the producer showed off the unorthodox gift he gave his famous fiancée: a bathtub full of queso. On an Instagram video posted Friday (Feb. 14), Blanco follows a trail of tortilla chips into his luxurious bathroom, where more chips spell out on the floor, 'I [LOVE] YOU.'

'When your fiancé isnt much of a flowers girl,' he captioned the clip, which he paired with his and Gomez's new duet 'Scared of Loving You.' 'I love everything bout this..,' the Rare Beauty founder wrote in the comments. In addition to edible displays of affection, Gomez and Blanco also celebrated Valentine's Day 2025 by announcing their new joint album I Said I Love You First. With 'Scared of Loving You' serving as the lead single, the 14-track LP will arrive March 21. And for those who have been following along with the 'Lose You to Love Me' singer and Blanco's love story, the cheese tub is a natural progression in their series of romantic gestures. On V-Day last year, the 'Eastside' hitmaker rented out a movie theater for Gomez and stocked it with her favorite foods: Taco Bell, nachos and Hot Cheetos. And in December, he proposed to his fiancée over a picnic of Taco Bell carryout. See Blanco's Valentine's Day gift to Gomez below.
