Selena Gomez has appeared as the latest guest on the Therapuss podcast, speaking to host Jake Shane about myriad topics, ranging from her acting career, to mental health and her relationship with Benny Blanco.<\/p>\n
Launching her discussion<\/a> with Shane by focusing on a recap of the recent happenings in her life, Gomez turned her focus towards Rare Beauty, the cosmetics company she founded in 2020<\/a> which supports mental health organizations with a portion of its sales.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n As Gomez explained, the mental health aspect was one that was important to her given the experiences she has had with the topic over the years<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI tried to share my story in hopes that it would be something to help others, and I think I did that when I admitted that I had struggled through my bipolar diagnosis<\/a>,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo that was more of a release for me.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then I realized anything that I touch or anything I\u2019m a part of, it has to give back and some sort of element. And that just always has been my key demographic \u2013 it\u2019s people who don\u2019t feel seen or heard or, even know what\u2019s going on and in their own mind.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI just believe in therapy,\u201d she added on the topic of mental health. \u201cI\u2019m on medication and I feel really lucky that I\u2019m in the position that I\u2019m in now and I believe in all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n Another large focus of Gomez\u2019s appearance on Therapuss was the topic of her engagement to producer Benny Blanco. The pair confirmed their relationship<\/a> in 2023 before becoming engaged<\/a> in late 2024, and later collaborating together on March\u2019s I Said I Love You First<\/a> album.<\/p>\n \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more excited,\u201d Gomez said of her forthcoming wedding. \u201cThere\u2019s so much happening at the moment with [Blanco] working on some projects that he has to wrap up and we just have things we want to finish and our own personal endeavors before we get into all the nitty gritty.<\/p>\n \u201cI just have really never felt so sure about something and I also don\u2019t want to jinx it by saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n Shane also used the opportunity to ask Gomez about how she and Blanco first met, with the musician explaining that they had both met early on in their respective musical careers, though their initial relationship was little more than a casual friendship.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel like he was an acquaintance, if that makes sense,\u201d she explains. \u201cTo be honest [we weren\u2019t] besties, I just thought he was nice and then we did a few songs together.\u201d<\/p>\n After reuniting to work on 2023\u2019s \u201cSingle Soon,\u201d their casual friendship eventually took a deeper turn. \u201cWe spoke for two hours and I asked him to hook me up with anybody that he knew that was cute and he was like, \u2018Oh we do these things, these dinner nights. You should come,’\u201d she recalls. \u201cAnd next thing you know we\u2019re dating.<\/p>\n \u201cBut he was terrified in the beginning cause he was like, \u2018It\u2019s work and it\u2019s complicated and people are going to get mad,\u2019 and I\u2019m like, \u2018I don\u2019t give a s\u2013t; kiss me.’\u201d<\/p>\n Watch Selena Gomez\u2019s appearance on Therapuss below.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
