'We Are So Lucky'
Benny Blanco feels 'lucky' to be married to his 'best friend.'
Blanco also reflected on their first year of marriage and revealed how the couple plans to celebrate their anniversary.
The music producer proposed in December 2024 at what he told Gomez was a promo shoot for their joint album, I Said I Love You First.
"It happened so quickly," he observed. "... We are so lucky and fortunate that we're just each other's yin and yang and everything is so easy."
"It's my best friend that I get to spend the rest of my life with," he added. "And I'm pinching myself every day. I'm like, 'Are you sure you picked the right guy?'"
Benny Blanco hinted at his anniversary plans.
The newlyweds froze their wedding cake so they could enjoy a bite one year later while reminiscing on the romantic celebration.
In addition to the thawed-out treat, the star admitted he simply hoped to spend time relaxing at their Beverly Hills, Calif., home with his wife.
"We want to just be chill," he said of their upcoming anniversary date. "We've been traveling so much. I haven't been in my own bed in four months. So we want to chill. Maybe we'll watch our speeches or something."
