Apparently, Benny Blanco Was Just Hanging Out On The Set Of Only Murders While Selena Gomez Filmed, And Be Still My Beating Heart

As a gamer who’s spent countless hours binge-watching shows on platforms like Hulu, I can’t help but feel a tinge of envy towards Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco. Here’s a guy who not only gets to date one of the most talented and beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but also enjoys the perks that come with it – like hanging out on the set of ‘Only Murders in the Building’, getting hugged by Martin Short, and potentially even becoming a cast member himself!


It’s always nice to see someone support their partner by showing up to watch them in action. What’s cooler than Travis Kelce and Barry Keoghan attending the Eras Tour to cheer on their women, or Kylie Jenner sneaking into Timothée Chalamet’s movie premiere? How about Selena Gomez’s boyfriend (possibly fiance?) getting a hug from Martin Short between takes on the set of Only Murders in the Building? Yes, Benny Blanco was in the house as Gomez filmed the fourth season of the Hulu murder mystery series — which hit the 2024 TV schedule on August 27 — and I just love this for them.

The L.A. Times described the chaotic, fake New York atmosphere of the opening episode of Only Murders in the Building Season 4, mentioning that Benny Blanco was visiting his girlfriend on set. Martin Short was reported to have warmly welcomed the record producer with a hug, saying, “Hello there, young man, show me some affection.” In this premiere, Selena Gomez’s character Mabel appears to grapple with an identity dilemma, questioning her portrayal and subsequent immortalization on screen. Given her lifelong career in singing and acting, this predicament might not be unfamiliar to her. Gomez herself commented:

Despite having my share of imperfections, I’ve managed to navigate through life as well as I possibly could. There isn’t much in my life that I would change, even acknowledging its complexities.

Living under the public eye hasn’t been without challenges for Selena Gomez. She’s openly navigated health issues arising from lupus, such as weight changes due to medication. Moreover, her high-profile relationship and subsequent breakup with Justin Bieber have made headlines. While there were whispers of a rift between Gomez and Justin’s wife Hailey Bieber in the past, it seems that chapter has closed, as she now appears content with Benny Blanco by her side.

About a year ago, the duo began dating, and Benny Blanco has consistently expressed his affection for the singer of “Lose You to Love Me.” In a birthday message he sent earlier this summer, he didn’t mince words, although Steve Martin managed to steal some of the spotlight. Regarding her music video for “Love On,” he made an impressive observation about its Barbie-inspired aesthetic.

Recently, people have been speculating whether Selena Gomez and her partner might be planning to get married. This idea began when Selena, a former star of “Wizards of Waverly Place,” seemed to hint at engagement by strategically covering her left ring finger with a heart emoji in a selfie. The rumors intensified further after online detectives noticed that she had started following CMG Weddings & Events on TikTok.

If it’s correct, I’d wager I can identify two individuals who are eagerly anticipating delivering a speech at the wedding. It’s heartwarming to learn that Benny Blanco has had the chance to watch “Only Murders in the Building” and feels at ease around Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez’s co-stars. The question now is whether Blanco will remain behind the scenes or join the numerous familiar faces in “OMITB” for Season 4.

Every Tuesday, I’m thrilled to dive back into one of Hulu’s top-tier originals, only because I’ve got my trusty Hulu subscription!
