**LOS ANGELES, CA** – Pop star Selena Gomez and her fiancé, music producer Benny Blanco, shared a heartwarming and hilarious account of their first kiss on the latest episode of the podcast *Table Manners*. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024 after confirming their relationship the previous year, revealed the details of their initial connection during a game of “We’re Not Really Strangers.”

Blanco recounted how, during a second date, a selfie prompt in the game led to Gomez playfully leaning on him, prompting an impromptu kiss. Gomez admitted she experienced an immediate physical reaction – a racing heart and facial rash – revealing she hadn’t felt such a strong connection in years. She confessed to being initially embarrassed by her intense reaction, but Blanco’s concern and their subsequent comfortable interactions solidified their connection.

“It was a very good kiss,” Gomez confirmed, adding that the experience was a stark contrast to previous casual dating experiences. Blanco described the subsequent interactions as feeling entirely “natural.” The couple first met in 2013 through Gomez’s mother, later collaborating on several of Gomez’s hit songs. Their engagement announcement, accompanied by photos of Gomez’s diamond ring, was met with widespread celebration.
