Benny Blanco is no stranger to candid confessions, and his latest revelation about his showering habits has left his fiancée, Selena Gomez, and fans both surprised and amused.
The renowned music producer, known for his laid-back persona and humor, recently opened up about his hygiene routine in a behind-the-scenes TikTok video for Interview Magazine, where he discussed his unique approach to showering—one that even caught Gomez off guard.
Benny Blanco’s Unconventional Showering Routine
During the conversation, Blanco admitted that he does not shower daily, a statement that immediately raised eyebrows. However, it was his emotional and contemplative approach to bathing that truly stood out.
“I might not get to shower every day, but when I do, I’m in there for so long contemplating life,” he explained.
Blanco further shared that he often cries in the shower, finding the experience therapeutic. He described the practice as a moment of deep reflection, stating:
“Have you ever cried in the shower? It’s incredible. I always get death realizations when I’m in there.”
His introspective habit caught Selena Gomez by surprise, prompting her to react with a simple but telling “Whoa.”
Selena Gomez’s Reaction to Blanco’s Confessions
While Gomez, 32, has frequently expressed admiration for Blanco’s honesty, this particular revelation took her aback. She humorously acknowledged his habits but also emphasized how deeply personal they seemed to be for him.
Gomez later reflected on their relationship in the Interview Magazine feature, stating:
“I actually feel valued. I feel seen. I feel respected. And I think that’s all I’ve ever really wanted.”
Her comments suggest that while Blanco’s shower habits might be unconventional, their relationship is built on mutual understanding and appreciation.
More Than Just Shower Talk: Benny’s Valentine’s Day Surprise
Blanco’s shower revelations come shortly after his quirky and unconventional Valentine’s Day gift to Gomez—one that sparked just as much conversation online.
Rather than opting for traditional flowers or chocolates, Blanco filled Gomez’s bathtub with queso cheese and spelled out “I ❤️ you” using tortilla chips. While some fans found the gesture hilarious and endearing, others debated its practicality.
Nonetheless, Gomez seemed to appreciate the sentiment, showcasing her continued appreciation for Blanco’s offbeat expressions of love.
“When your fiancée isn’t much of a flowers girl… you fill the bathtub with queso,” Blanco shared on Instagram.
Fans and Media React to Blanco’s Hygiene Confessions
Blanco’s comments about his shower habits quickly went viral, with fans reacting with a mix of humor, curiosity, and disbelief. Some found his honesty refreshing, while others expressed concern over his infrequent showers.
- One Twitter user wrote: “Benny Blanco crying in the shower is somehow the most relatable thing I’ve heard all week.”
- Another joked: “I need Selena Gomez to confirm whether Benny Blanco actually smells good or not.”
- A fan on Instagram commented: “Honestly, I kind of respect it. We all have our weird habits!”
Despite the lighthearted backlash, Blanco and Gomez appear unbothered, continuing to enjoy their dynamic and share insights into their relationship with the public.
The Science Behind Showering and Emotional Release
Blanco’s habit of crying in the shower is not as unusual as it might seem. Experts suggest that showers can serve as a safe emotional release due to the warmth, isolation, and sound-muffling nature of running water.
According to a study from Harvard Medical School, warm showers have been linked to reduced stress, improved circulation, and emotional release.
The phenomenon of “shower thoughts” is also well-documented, with psychologists explaining that relaxed states—such as those experienced in the shower—often lead to deep reflection and creative thinking.
