Selena Gomez says she’s ‘so excited’ for motherhood as fiancé Benny Blanco says she’s a natural with kids
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are already sowing the seeds for their future family.
“I don’t know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore,” she said, referring to her younger sibling, Gracie. “So absolutely, when that day comes, I’m so excited for it.”
Blanco, 37, also gave insight into Gomez’s personality, calling her “the ultimate level of shy” in most social situations — except when kids are around.
“She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours,” he said, adding that it may be because of her background as a child star. “When you started doing this you were a kid… you shaped so many young people’s lives, whether it was Barney or Wizards [of Waverly Place].”

Gomez previously told Time that if she hadn’t met a partner by 35, she planned to adopt. But now, she’s thrilled to have found love. “I can’t believe I get to marry my best friend,” she said.
The couple, who were friends for years before romance blossomed, confirmed their relationship in December 2023 and made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys.
