Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are already envisioning their future as parents.
During the Monday, March 24 episode of the Jay Shetty Podcast, the 32-year-old singer shared her excitement about the possibility of having children one day.
Her fiancé, Benny Blanco, revealed his hopes that their future kids will one day listen to their joint album, I Said I Love You First. This prompted Gomez to express just how much she enjoys being around children.
“I don’t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore,” she said, referring to her younger sibling, Gracie. “So absolutely, when that day comes, I’m so excited for it.”
Benny Blanco Praises Gomez’s Connection with Kids
Blanco, 37, also spoke about Gomez’s personality, calling her “the ultimate level of shy” in most social settings—except when she’s around children.
“She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours,” he shared, suggesting that her ease around children may stem from her early days as a child actor. “When you started doing this, you were a kid… You shaped so many young people’s lives, whether it was Barney or Wizards of Waverly Place.”
Gomez Reflects on Love and Family Aspirations
In a previous interview with Time, Gomez shared that if she hadn’t met a partner by 35, she planned to adopt. Now, with Blanco by her side, she feels lucky to have found love.
“I can’t believe I get to marry my best friend,” she said.
The couple, who were friends for years before their romance blossomed, confirmed their relationship in December 2023 and made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys.
As they look forward to their future together, it’s clear that both Gomez and Blanco are excited about the prospect of starting a family someday.
