Remember when Taylor Swift<\/strong> sang, “Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find\/\u00a0That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time?” Apparently that’s what happened between Taylor’s BFF\u00a0Selena Gomez<\/strong> and Selena’s boyfriend,\u00a0Benny Blanco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to WSJ. Magazine,<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>Benny says he and Selena had known each other professionally and as friends for nearly 10 years before they fell for each other. “I was the last one to know,\u201d says the producer.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don\u2019t even notice,” he continues. “And then you have that Clueless<\/em>\u00a0moment where you\u2019re like, ‘Wait, I\u2019m in love.\u2019”<\/p>\n

These days Benny is switching up his focus from his songwriting and producing career to his cooking career, readying his first cookbook,\u00a0Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends<\/em>. He tells WSJ. Magazine<\/em> that he and Selena, who has\u00a0a cooking show on the Food Network, cook together all the time. In fact, they made a steak dinner for both their families that included Selena’s corn casserole and Benny’s corn bread with honey butter.<\/p>\n

“I just love entertaining and pleasing people,” he says. “Doesn\u2019t everyone want to be cared for, whether it\u2019s your friend or a lover or your family? Doesn\u2019t it feel good when someone makes you something?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Open Wide<\/em> includes a recipe for deep-frying a watch, because one of his best friends, Ed Sheeran<\/strong>, once gave him a $16,500 Rolex and that’s what he did with it. He claims it still works.<\/p>\n
