Selena Gomez and her fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, made their first joint television appearance as a couple to promote their just-released album, I Said I Love You First. The pair, who stunned fans with their surprise engagement in December 2024, visited The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, March 20. Their visit was full of warmth, humor, and heart as they shared about their engagement and the new beginning in their lives.
A Surprising Proposal and Engagement Story
While being interviewed, host Jimmy Fallon welcomed the couple and expressed his congratulations on their engagement. He requested that they explain what happened when Benny proposed to her. Selena disclosed that Benny’s proposal caught her completely off guard. “It was a total shock, and it turned my world around,” she explained. She remembered the steps that led to the proposal, stating how she was lost when it came to where they were headed and what was occurring that day. “We had a lot of promotional things to do for the album, so I woke up, and I was really confused about what was happening, about where we were heading, because it seemed pretty far,” Selena said.
Benny put his own comedic spin on it, remembering that Selena nearly didn’t participate in the scheme. “She almost didn’t even come. She was like, I don’t feel that well. I think I’m just going to stay home today,” he chuckled, before commenting on how “crazy” it was to become engaged.
Album Release: I Said I Love You First
Aside from their personal breakthroughs, Selena and Benny also spoke about their duet album, I Said I Love You First, which debuted on March 21, 2025. The album is a milestone achievement in their music careers, capturing their musical synergy and artistic rapport. With their undeniable chemistry on a personal level and professionally as well, the couple’s inaugural project is making ripples within the music industry.
