Selena Gomez didn't shy away from expressing her love for her fiancé, Benny Blanco, even when he couldn't accompany her to Sirius XM's 'TikTok Radio IRL.'

Selena Gomez Dishes on Which of Fiancé Benny Blanco's Attributes She Finds 'Addictive'
Selena Gomez can't get enough of fiancé Benny Blanco. In a new interview with Chris Olsen on SiriusXM's TikTok Radio IRL to promote her and Blanco's new album I Said I Love You First, the 32-year-old singer and actress dished on which of her 37-year-old husband-to-be's attributes she finds "addictive." The topic arose as Gomez opened up about how working with Blanco helped her find a new artistic direction. "I was so stuck musically. I didn't know where I wanted to go with my next album," she recalled. "I knew I wanted to do one, but it was just so wonderful to have him on my team. Like, he did an incredible job, and I respect him so much, and he just has excellent taste," said Gomez of Blanco, with whom she released I Said I Love You First earlier this month. The pair announced their engagement in December 2024. She noted of the project, "Telling him my stories and him telling me about his past and his stories, it was really special, so we combined it and made an album." As for what made for such a great collaborative partnership between them in the studio, Gomez said, "It's Benny's confidence, you know?" "That kind of energy is so addictive to be around, and he just — I don't know. I just love him, that's all," she continued. Later in the interview, Gomez revealed which song was the most fun to create with Blanco. "'Scared of Loving You' was really adorable, and it wasn't even meant to be a single or anything," she explained. "We were singing it about each other, and it was very honest, so it kind of makes me tear up even though it's, like, a cutesy little song." During the couple's conversation with Jay Shetty on a recent episode of his On Purpose podcast, Blanco revealed he made a list of "all the things I want" in a woman before meeting Gomez. "Before I met her, I was a guy in L.A. trying to find the one for me and I was having some trouble. I think I was maybe not looking in all the right places," he said. "I was like okay — it's time to be a grown up, I want to start a life, I want to have a family, I want to find a person that is like my other half that makes me feel better and I make them feel better. It's a give and take, the perfect yin and yang, so I wrote down a list." Blanco described his list, beginning with someone who was "age appropriate," which to him was "30 plus." "The second thing I wrote was — I know this is so simple but so hard to come by — somebody who is kind, compassionate and caring," he said. "I was like, 'That's really three-in-one but I need someone who is nice. A genuine nice person.'" Read the original article on People
