Benny Blanco made sad admission about relationship with Selena Gomez

Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez got married last September, having announced their engagement less than a year earlier than that.

The singer and Only Murders in the Building star is worth over a billion dollars, while Blanco is a record producer who has produced and co-written for albums of some of the biggest stars in the music world.

Can I make it any more obvious?

If two people start a relationship, get engaged and end up having a wedding, it's not that hard to figure out how they feel about each other.

Besides, they've done plenty of talking about how they feel about each other in the past as they had been speaking to Interview Magazine for Valentine's Day last year, the last one before they tied the knot, where Blanco said that before he got with Gomez, he'd been focusing on 'being a grownup', but was now happily in a 'sappy' relationship.

"I remember before I was with her, I was like, 'You know what? I’m going to stop everything I’m doing and just focus all my energy on being a grownup and being with the right person,'" he said.

"Now 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. I’m so sappy."

Gomez said her beau was being 'very romantic', while Blanco said his relationship with her made him 'smile all day'.

It might come across as a bit saccharin, but sometimes people ought to have the licence to be sappy and silly for each other, especially if it's making them happier than ever before.

Blanco did confess a fear, namely that he was 'so scared she’s just going to wake up and be like, what? No', but he laughed as he said it and Gomez reassured him 'you're stuck with me', which is a good thing to hear when you 'worship the ground she walks on'.

For her part she thought, some time being single before getting with Blanco had helped her appreciate their love all the more, so even if he sometimes worries she'll wake up and not be into it, she sounds like she's very happy.

She said: "I’ve kind of been alone in the world. I was alone for five years before we got together, and I think that really helped me appreciate someone like Ben.

"He gets so weirded out by me saying this, but genuinely, 10 years ago, I wasn’t in a space in my life where I could have accepted the kind of patience, the kind of unconditional love that he gives me."
