Love is in the air for newly engaged stars Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
On the night of March 18, 2025, the lovebirds were spotted enjoying a rare romantic date night in New York City. The couple dined at the iconic 4 Charles Prime Rib restaurant to celebrate the upcoming release of their joint album, I Said I Love You First, set to drop on March 21.
Selena embraced a sleek, all-black business-chic look, layering an oversized blazer over a fitted black tank top and pairing it with relaxed suit pants. She completed her ensemble with a mini black velvet handbag featuring gold embellishments and polished pointed-toe dress shoes.
Benny, on the other hand, kept things casual and cool with an oversized white short-sleeve shirt adorned with intricate threadwork designs, paired with bold brown-and-white cow-print pants. He accessorized with chunky gold chains and finished the look with black leather shoes.
In paparazzi-captured images, the couple was seen walking hand in hand into the restaurant, sharing a lighthearted conversation. While Blanco maintained a neutral facial expression, the Calm Down singer was all smiles, flashing a bright, toothy grin.
The Couple Reveals The Heartfelt Inspiration Behind Their Latest Album
In a joint interview with Rolling Stone published on March 17, 2025, Selena and Benny opened up about their relationship and how their love story served as the driving force behind their latest musical project. Selena shared,
“I genuinely feel like this is such a special time that we get to apply [our love] to this album and really just pour our heart into it, and completely translate what we feel and bring it to the world”.
The lovebirds, who got engaged in December 2024, are still basking in their engagement bliss. When asked about wedding plans, the music producer shared,
“I think every day [Selena’s] planned a new wedding in her head. We’re very much, take it one day at a time-type of people. We’re still not over this moment. Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring”.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first crossed paths in 2015 during a music collaboration. Later, in December 2023, their platonic bond evolved into a full-fledged romance.
A year later, on December 12, 2024, the Wizards Of Waverly Place alum announced her engagement on Instagram. Sharing a carousel of tender moments, the centerpiece was undoubtedly her stunning oval-shaped diamond engagement ring.
