Selena Gomez and her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, are among Hollywood's most surprising pairings. Although the two have an extensive working history together -- Blanco's co-produced and co-written songs for Gomez, including her 2019 single "I Can't Enough" -- the two still shocked fans when they announced they were dating back in June 2023. Since then, the pair have been almost inseparable as they gush about each other and pack on the PDA on social media, to the delight of many.

In recent weeks, a source close to Gomez has shared that she and Benny Blanco have discussed marriage plans together, drawing some criticism from a few fans who feel the pop star is moving too fast.

Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco Have Discussed Marriage And Having Kids

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been the subject of much speculation about their relationship. While many are happy to see Selena Gomez, who has gone through several failed relationships in the past, such as with singers Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, there are a few fans who are concerned that Gomez may be taking things too fast with her latest romance.

On May 3, a source close to Selena Gomez revealed to US Weekly that Gomez and Blanco were ready to elevate their relationship.

The source shared that the "I Love You Like A Love Song" singer believed Benny Blanco was "the love of her life". Blanco, too, was said to reciprocate these intense emotions. The insider continued,

He provides her with a sense of security and happiness. They both believe they've found their forever person... [Gomez] envisions a long-term future with him...[She's] even discussed marriage and children.'

The source also added that both parties have gotten the consent and blessing from their loved ones.

While many fans have joyfully embraced the couple's supposed marriage plans, there are dissenting voices in the online community. For instance, on various Selena Gomez-themed Reddit threads, one user expressed, 'I genuinely hope Blanco is the right man for Selena, but I also hope she takes her time with this relationship. She has a big heart and a large capacity for love, and as a fan, I only want what's best for her.' Another fan commented, 'No disrespect to Benny Blanco, but Selena Gomez should focus on herself before rushing into marriage. They haven't even been dating for a year. But it's her life.'

Benny Blanco Says He's Still Shocked That He's Dating Selena Gomez

While Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have received an outpouring of support from many, they still encounter a few who dislike or are wary of their relationship. Many have even unjustly disparaged Blanco's looks as being subpar when compared to Selena Gomez's radiant beauty. But Blanco isn't letting the negativity get to him, although he has admitted that he knows he's lucky to date Selena Gomez.

During a recent interview on The Today Show, Benny Blanco told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush-Hager about his relationship with Gomez,

I wake up every day, and I look in the mirror, and I'm like, 'How did this happen? ' But until anyone figures it out, whee!

When asked if his penchant for cooking is what drew Gomez in, Blanco humorously replied, "Are you out of your mind? Look at me!"
