Selena Gomez's adoption plans changed after Benny Blanco romance
Gomez, 31, reflected on her five-year period of being single, a time she grew accustomed to solitude. "A lot of people are afraid of being alone, and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it," she shared.
During this period, she formulated a plan, "I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone."
However, her plans changed unexpectedly when her friendship with Blanco turned romantic. "It just happens when you least expect it," Gomez noted.
Despite Blanco's public declarations of wanting to marry and start a family with Gomez, she remains cautious. "I know what people can do to people I love. My own fans, who I adore and feel like have shaped who I am, will say the most hurtful things to me about how I live my life," she explained. Gomez appreciates Blanco's resilience against public scrutiny, adding, "He has the strength in him that none of that noise fazes him."
Gomez cherishes her moments with Blanco, stating, "It's really impressive, and I just cherish every moment with him. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that he's not going anywhere any time soon."
Blanco hinted at his hopes for the future during an interview with Howard Stern. When asked about proposing to Gomez, he admitted, “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.” With their first anniversary approaching around Gomez’s birthday on July 22, Blanco teased that he has "some really good stuff" planned for the celebration.
