Re-sharing a preview of Blanco’s spread in this year’s annual issue, which sees Benny seductively sprawled across a table next to a serving of his signature champagne and homemade Mexican Pizza meal, SelGo gushed about her beau on her IG story writing, “Not only do you love me unconditionally… You always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza,” alongside the reposted pic.
In a second slide, Selena made sure her feelings for Blanco really came across, tagging him alongside a quote by William C. Hannan, that reads, “I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do.”
For his interview with People, Blanco shard his eight secrets to success in love and life. A list which includes learning how to cook your love’s favorite meals, making the first date a big deal, taking care appearance, and being a great party host, among other tips.
Speaking on learning Selena’s favorite recipes, Benny mentioned that he’s mastered his own take on Taco Bell meat, because Gomez loves it so much, telling the magazine, “I’ve practiced a lot, and I think it’s pretty indistinguishable now if you put them side by side. There’s so many things you have to do. Part of the meat is kind of blended. It’s disgusting, but it’s delicious. I do it all from scratch… Even if you’re terrible at cooking, [your partner will] like it because you did it. Ask your partner what they want to eat. Don’t try to cook them what you want to eat. If you don’t know how to cook it — learn it.”
“If you don't know how to learn it, get it from Postmates and put it on a plate and pretend you cooked it," Blanco quipped. "No, lying is bad! We never lie. Especially if you're a guy, we're disgusting. No one should even look at us. Try to be chivalrous: Tell her how pretty she is. Chivalry's not dead.”
Benny and Selena have been together since 2023, and since debuting their romance, the two have not been shy about their feelings for one another -- from posting about each other on social media and clapping back at the haters, to sharing cute pics, dropping L-bombs on Valentine’s Day, and getting candid about one another in interviews -- with Selena’s recent shout out being just the latest show of appreciation.
People’s 2024 "Sexiest Man Alive" issue and top honorees are set to be revealed during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, on Tuesday night (November 12).
