Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez are kicking off prom season early, with the couple attending their own version of the traditional American high school event in a video posted by the producer on Thursday (April 24).
In text typed over the Instagram clip, Blanco explains that — since his fiancée never got the chance to go to her own prom as a teenager — he asked the Rare Beauty founder to get dressed up with him and take photos at the mall as if they were attending a fancy school dance. The video then shows Gomez getting ready in a purple ballgown and planting a kiss on the “Eastside” musician after doing the traditional walk-down-the-stairs dress reveal.
While in the limo on the ride over, Blanco excitedly leans out the window and tells the driver in the lane next to him: “We’re going to prom!”
The couple then participates in an adorable photoshoot, with Blanco wrapping his arms around Gomez for one shot and the Only Murders in the Building actress sitting on his back, Blanco down on all fours in his tux, for another. “It was more fun than either of us expected it to be,” the Open Wide author wrote.
The post comes a couple weeks after Blanco opened up about throwing a prom for his 37th birthday in March while on The Jennifer Hudson Show. “Selena had never been to a prom before, so I thought I’d throw us a prom for my birthday,” he gushed at the time. “She didn’t even know. She was like, ‘What am I supposed to wear? What am I supposed to do?’ It was like she was really going to prom. I got her a little corsage.”
After first starting dating in mid-2023, Blanco and Gomez got engaged in December last year. In March, they dropped their first joint album as a couple: I Said I Love You First, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
