Selena Gomez reflects on maturity in relationship with Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez has reflected on her relationship with Benny Blanco, stating that she would not have been mature enough for the partnership five years ago. Gomez, who met Blanco when she was 16, noted that the timing of their romantic connection was essential to its success.

Speaking to Allure, Gomez explained that personal lessons learned over the years allowed her to become a better partner. She mentioned that when Blanco expresses regret over the time they spent apart, she reminds him that she was “all over the place” in the past and would not have been the right person for him then.

Blanco previously told Rolling Stone that the couple initially chose to take things slowly to manage the pressures of Gomez’s high level of fame and the intense public attention surrounding their relationship.
