Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially the cutest couple in the music industry. After confirming their engagement late last year, the pair released their collaborative album I Said I Love You First in March. Now, they’ve completed another milestone: prom.
In celebration of his birthday last month, Blanco threw a prom-themed party to give Gomez the complete prom experience: as a home-schooled child actress she had missed out on that rite of passage, he revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show. More recently, the two were spotted rocking matching Western-inspired outfits while catching a Knicks versus Celtics NBA game at Madison Square Garden in New York.

However, the sweetest update came through a reposting on “Rare” singer Gomez’s Instagram account. In a video she shared on a recent carousel post captioned “a few memories”, Blanco’s mother, Sandra Levin, can be seen wearing an adorable necklace with a locket. She has a grandchild on her lap who is playing with the jewellery – the picture inside being of “Uncle Benny and Selena”. Clearly, the Blancos have welcomed Benny’s wife-to-be with open arms.
What else do we know about Benny Blanco’s family?
What do Benny Blanco’s parents do for a living?

Blanco – who’s real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin – was born in Reston, Virginia, to Sandra and Andrew Levin. Sandra worked in an assisted living facility, while Benny told The New York Times in 2018 that his father had a career in the “intimate apparel business”. Benny is the younger of their two sons, the older being Jeremy.
Blanco’s preferred cuisine

Music producer and songwriter Blanco gets his love of Jewish cuisine from his family’s home-made dishes and has fond memories of visiting Jewish delis with his dad when he was younger, per Unpacked. Benny’s bestselling cookbook, Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends, includes numerous Jewish recipes.
While Gomez, founder of the Rare Beauty cosmetics company, doesn’t plan to convert to Judaism, she told Interview Magazine that she and Blanco will be incorporating Jewish traditions in their wedding.
His parents supported young Benny’s passion for music

Benny caught the music bug from his parents and brother Jeremy, who broadened his musical horizons. “Ever since I was like a baby I was into music, I would always bang on the pots and pans,” Blanco told Augustman magazine. “My mum and dad were very into music, so they played me music very early on, and my brother was also really into music, so he would take me into record stores,” the Grammy-nominated artist added. Thanks to their encouragement, Benny started making music when he was five. Since then, he has written or produced hits such as Rihanna’s “Diamonds” and “Payphone” by Maroon 5.
