Benny Blanco will never forget the moment that he took his “first official photo” with fiancée Selena Gomez — or what happened after they snapped the selfie.

On Tuesday, March 11, the singer and actress, 32, revealed the special photo while announcing their collaborative new single “Sunset Blvd,” which arrived Friday. In the black-and-white shot, the couple is relaxing on a couch and Gomez is snuggled up against the music producer, 37.

Two days later, Blanco took to his Instagram Stories to share the sweet story about how the photo came to be.

“I feel like this exact moment will be etched into my memory forever … we were playing ‘we are not really strangers’ and the card we pulled said ‘take a selfie together’ then u layed ur head on my chest… after we took the photo i looked at u and could feel ur heart pounding so hard that i had no other choice but to lean in and kiss u,” Blanco wrote over the picture.

They announced their joint album I Said I Love You First in February 2025 and introduced the project with their single “Scared of Loving You,” followed by their Gracie Abrams-assisted single “Call Me When You Break Up.”

On Friday, the pair dropped their latest track from the album — “Sunset Blvd” — and released the song’s sultry music video to accompany the suggestive lyrics.
