## Remember those awkward pre-game jitters before prom?
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are taking us back with a nostalgic blast from the past, serving up a prom-themed photo shoot that’s equal parts playful and glamorous. Forget the uncomfortable shoes and questionable dance moves, these two hit all the right notes with a fun, flirty vibe that’s sure to make you wish you could rewind time.
A Relationship Built on Gratitude and Communication
Blanco’s Openness About Gomez
Benny Blanco has been incredibly forthcoming about the effort he puts into his relationship with Selena Gomez. Doing special things for her is instinctual, as he feels so much gratitude to be with her. As he told Unionjournalism in January, “I worship the ground she walks on, and I feel like she’s the same way to me. There’s no ego between us. She’s praying for me to win and I’m praying for her to win. And I wake up in the morning—I know she does the same thing—and I’m like, ‘How can I make her life better?’ Holding her isn’t close enough. I want to be inside of her whole body. I just feel a thing for her that I can’t even explain.”
The Importance of Listening
He also offered some relationship advice, encouraging readers to listen to their partners. “Happy wife, happy life,” he quipped. “Shut the fuck up and listen to your partner. I don’t think people listen to their partner enough.” He added: “I think in general, men are not listening to their partner enough. And treat people the way you want to be treated. Find your best friend and don’t settle. That’s my best friend right there.”
More Than Just a Photo Shoot
A Peek into their Daily Life
Benny Blanco recently told Jennifer Hudson that he actually went to two proms in high school but that “my favorite prom was with my partner.” During an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco shared a glimpse into Gomez’s daily life, revealing her favorite breakfast combination. “She wants the same thing every day. Her favorite thing is she either has chorizo and eggs in like a tortilla, chorizo and eggs in a quesadilla, chorizo and eggs and rice and beans — she wants some version of that,” Blanco said. “Every day, I try to make her her favorite breakfast. Every single day.”
The Power of Shared Experiences
While sharing details about Gomez’s culinary preferences, Blanco highlighted the importance of shared experiences in strengthening a relationship. “It was more fun than either of us expected it to be…” Blanco wrote over a video of them posing for cute and silly shots during the photo session. They even opted for the pedestal prop, which we know was a premium package add-on.
