Insiders reveal the REAL reason Selena Gomez decided to settle with Benny Blanco… and it’s as heartwarming as it is surprising

Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco turned heads when they walked the Oscars red carpet on Sunday, though for entirely different reasons.

The Emilia Perez actress dripped in diamonds and dazzled in a Ralph Lauren gown embellished with Rosemont crystals and more than 16,000 drops of glass.

Blanco sported his now signature white suit, frizzy hair and – what appeared to be – a two-day stubble on his face. While Gomez evoked classic Hollywood glamour, Blanco’s style said: I just woke up.

Indeed, at a glance, they couldn’t seem a more unlikely pair.

It’s hard to forget the couple’s appearance at the Golden Globes earlier this year, when host Nikki Glaser savagely roasted them.

‘Selena Gomez is here with Benny Blanco, her new fiancé, and Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish,’ Glaser joked on stage, the camera panning to Gomez and Blanco awkwardly laughing in the audience.
