New Benny Blanco Look Wows Fans
Benny Blanco has changed his look, and fans are wowed. After releasing their joint album, I Said I Love You First on March 21, the hitmaker took to TikTok, where he shaped and plucked his infamous unibrow— and it’s Selena Gomez-approved.
The five-time BMI Songwriter of the Year Award recipient took to TikTok to unveil his new look, captioning the video, “I plucked my eyebrows.” Gomez can be heard in the background, “Do it light, because I love him.” Gomez’s stylist, Hung Vanngo, did the makeover.

The “Eastside” songwriter analyzed his new appearance, concluding that he “can’t tell the difference.” However, several fans noticed otherwise and praised the new look. One commented, “Respectfully, yes, we can tell the difference.” Another agreed, writing, “Huge difference because your eyes pop more now.”

In recent months, the couple, and Blanco specifically, have been the subject of comedian jokes and appearance scrutiny. At the Golden Globe Awards, host Nikki Glaser joked about Blanco’s appearance, stating, “Selena Gomez is here, double nominee tonight for Emilia Pérez and Only Murders [in the Building] and she’s here tonight with her new fiancé Benny Blanco. And Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish.”
Blanco has also maintained a sense of humor about his own appearance in the past. While on Andrew Santino’s Open Wide podcast, he joked, “I believe that like, I’m actually so ugly and my features are so grotesque that I popped out on the other side, and now I’m just like, a hot guy.”
The formerly private couple has increased their social media presence since they officially announced their relationship last year. The Rare Beauty founder first met Blanco in 2015 when they worked on “Same Old Love” on her Revival album. The duo remained friends but did not date until 2023, around the time of Gomez’s birthday in June. In their cover story for Interview magazine in January, Blanco reminisced about their first date, admitting, “I guess she thought it was a date and I had no idea it was a date. The second time we hung out, our second date, I was like, ‘Wait, does she like me?’ I was clueless. From then on, it was easy.”

While doing a press release run of the joint album, Gomez praised her relationship with Blanco, calling it Blanco her “best friend”. The feeling is mutual: in a TikTok video, Blanco commented, “The smartest thing I’ve ever done is somehow get Selena to like me.”
While more details on their wedding are yet to be announced, you can listen to the couple’s chemistry on their new album, out now.
