Benny Blanco, the talented record producer and songwriter, made his 37th birthday extra special by throwing a prom-themed party for his fiancée, Selena Gomez. While it was Benny’s big day, he ensured that Selena, who had never attended a high school prom, was the focus of the celebration.
The unique idea came after Benny learned that Selena, who rose to fame as the singer of “Lose You to Love Me,” had missed out on the classic high school experience of attending prom. As a self-proclaimed prom enthusiast who had attended his own prom twice—once with friends and once with a girlfriend—Blanco wanted to give Selena a night to remember. So, he decided to create a prom night for her to enjoy.
Blanco shared the heartwarming details of his birthday celebration during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show on April 7. “Selena had never been to a prom before, so I thought I’d throw us a prom for my birthday,” Benny revealed. He admitted that although he had attended two proms in the past, his favorite one was the one he spent with Selena. “Honestly, my favorite prom was with my partner,” he said, drawing applause from the audience.
Adding to the charm of the evening, Benny surprised Selena with a beautiful prom tradition—a corsage. “I got her a corsage,” he shared with pride, explaining that Selena was excited about the celebration and had spent time preparing what to wear for the occasion.
This thoughtful and romantic gesture shows just how much Benny cares for Selena, ensuring that her first prom experience was one she would cherish forever. It’s clear that the couple shares a deep bond, making this birthday celebration one to remember for both.
