Watch: Selena Gomez Has 2 Words About Future Family Plans With Benny Blanco
Benny Blanco‘s heart wants what it wants.
That’s why he completely agrees with his wife Selena Gomez‘s take on their family plans after she recently captioned a photo of herself playing with a baby, “One day.”
“That’s what I wanted too!” Blanco raved during his Sept. 15 appearance on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle. “I’m like, ‘Really? One day? When?'”
In fact, the 38-year-old—who will celebrate his first wedding anniversary with Gomez on Sept. 25—quipped that he’s “pressing” to start his fatherhood journey. As he jokingly put it, “I’m a full court press over here.”
So, what did Blanco send to the Only Murders in the Building star after seeing her maternal photo on Instagram?
“She doesn’t even answer my DMs. It’s crazy,” the music producer shared with a laugh. “I’ll send her the cutest video and she won’t answer it.”
But he and Gomez, 34, know they’ll need to take a few additional steps to expand their family due to the “Hands to Myself” singer’s struggles with lupus.
“I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she shared in a 2024 interview with Vanity Fair. “I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy.”
While Gomez initially thought “thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone,” she’s nonetheless “excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different.”

“I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me,” the Disney Channel alum added. “At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby.”
Plus, Gomez is thrilled to have a supportive partner by her side.
“I’ve never been loved this way,” she raved of Blanco. “He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
