Congratulations to Benny Blanco, who was named one of People's 2024 Sexiest Men Alive. While readers everywhere applauded the producer and cookbook author for nabbing a spot on the celebrated list, his girlfriend, Selena Gomez offered a super-sweet message on Instagram that may award the two an award for being the cutest couple, ever.
After the news broke, Gomez reposted a snapshot of Blanco's People photoshoot on her Instagram Stories and wrote, "Not only do you love me unconditionally, you always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza."

She went on to tag Blanco in another post that featured a quote from writer William C. Hannan that read, "I still haven’t figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do."
Blanco opened up to People about his relationship, saying that he loves to spend time with her early in the morning, as they're both morning people.
"I’m a real morning person," he shared. "It's my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both wake up really early. It's like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up. I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life."

He also gave a shoutout to Taco Bell when he was asked about what he does for date nights. It may prove that maybe the key to finding (and keeping) the love of your life is a shared love of fast-food Mexican.
“I go all out for every date. We go all out for each other. One time, Sel was like, ‘Oh, I want to take you on a date.’ We drove somewhere, and she had rented out a whole botanical garden for me. She also likes something so simple. For Valentine’s Day, I got her Taco Bell, I made her movie-theater nachos, I found her favorite pickles from Texas and I deep-fried them for her. Then [I had] all her candies and Hot Cheetos," he shared. "It doesn’t mean spending your entire bank account. The no. 1 thing you need to do on a date is just listen to what the person's saying. Don't talk about yourself the whole time. No one cares."
