Selena Gomez Spills the Tea on Why Benny Blanco’s “Unconditional Love” Would’ve Been a No-Go for Her a Decade Ago

Ah, love in the time of chart-topping hits and red-carpet glances! 🎶❤️

New Delhi: Hold onto your pop-culture hats, folks! It seems like our very own Selena Gomez has her mom to thank for her romantic overture with fiancé Benny Blanco. Yes, you heard it right. Mama Mandy Teefey was the ultimate matchmaker in this love story. Who needs dating apps when you’ve got a mom with Cupid’s bow and arrow? 🎯

In a recent heart-to-heart with ‘Interview’ magazine, the duo shared their tale of star-crossed melodies and sweet harmonies. Apparently, their journey began when Selena was just a Disney darling, and Benny was on the precipice of becoming a mega music producer.

Picture this: a young Selena, about 16 or 17, being introduced to Mr. Blanco at a meeting set up by her mom to chat about music. Fast forward to 2013, and Benny recalls, “Her mom arranged for us to meet and talk music. I was just getting big, and she wasn’t even singing yet.” Ah, the humble beginnings of a love story wrapped in a melody. 🎤✨

Mandy, along with her husband Brian Teefey, played a crucial role in Selena’s career during her Disney Channel days. And as Benny fondly reminisces, “She was the original sad girl amidst the pop chaos. Everyone else was all beats, and she was like, ‘I just want to look good for you’.” Who knew melancholic tunes could set the stage for such an upbeat romance?

As they hit the studio to collaborate on a track, Selena admits, “It was just so straightforward. We started talking while working on a song, and that was it. I was into him before he even realized it!” Oh, Selena, the art of subtlety is clearly not lost on you. 🎶😉

Nisha’s Nutshell: Love in Bollywood (or Hollywood, for that matter) is like a multiverse of its own. Who needs a script when you’ve got moms playing Cupid and studios doubling as matchmaking arenas? So, if you’re looking for love, maybe start with a studio session or a mom with matchmaking skills. After all, in this world of glitter and glam, sometimes, it really does take a village—or at least a very determined mother! 💘💫
