Selena Gomez: Open words about relationship and health

Selena Gomez (33) shows itself reflected in a new interview and honestly. she talked to host Jake Shane about her mental health and the beginnings of her relationship with music producer Benny Blanco (37).

“I couldn’t be more excited,” says Gomez with a view to her upcoming wedding. Nevertheless, the two want to take the time: “So much is happening at the moment. Benny is working on some projects, we both have things that we want to end – personal projects before we have all the details [zur Hochzeit] Falling. “Despite all the euphoria, she remains down -to -earth:” I have never felt so safe with something – but I don’t want to say it by saying that. “

When asked how she got to know her fiance Blanco at all, Gomez replies with a smile: “I would say he was a friend – if that makes sense. To be honest, we weren’t best friends. I just found him nice and then we made a few songs together.”

But it didn’t stay with the job. Working on the song “Single Soon” developed into more. “We talked two hours and I asked him if he knows someone who is cute and with whom he could couple me,” she says with a laugh. “He then said: ‘Sometimes we have these dinner evenings. You should come.’ And before I knew I was a couple. “

Blanco was also aware that work and love are not always easy to combine: “He was afraid at the beginning because he said: ‘This is work, it is complicated, people will be angry.’ And I just said: ‘I don’t care – kiss me.’ “

The focus on mental health with its cosmetics brand Rare Beauty is not a marketing tool for Gomez, but a matter close to the heart. “I tried to share my story in the hope that she can help others,” she explains. “I think I did when I made it public that I had to fight with a bipolar disorder. It was a kind of liberation for me.”

This openness helped her to understand herself better – and to encourage others. Gomez emphasizes: “Everything I touch or what I am involved has also to give something back. […] I am aimed at people who do not feel or heard – or don’t know what’s going on in your own head. “Professional help plays a central role for you:” I just believe in therapy. I take medication and feel really happy to be in the position in which I am now. I believe in all of that. “
