Amid Selena Gomez’s Pregnancy Buzz, Is Benny Blanco ‘Dreaming’ To Become A Dad?, ‘I Love Kids’

Selena Gomez is currently generating immense buzz due to her latest public appearance. On April 2, 2026, the popstar celebrated the launch of her brand, Rare Beauty’s newest product, a foundation, in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. However, what caught everyone’s attention was Selena’s metallic pink Prada minidress from the brand’s Spring 2026 collection. The oversized dress marked a shift from her usual form-fitting outfits. It sparked rumours that the 33-year-old is pregnant with her first child. Amid that, Benny Blanco’s comment on parenthood has been going viral.

What did Benny Blanco say about parenthood?

Benny Blanco has been very open about his desire to become a father, frequently stating that it is his “next goal” in life. He is as eager to embrace parenthood as his wife, Selena Gomez. Amid the speculations that she is pregnant, his comments like “dreaming and praying every day” to have children with his better half, have emerged. Many felt that the 38-year-old music producer might be subtly hinting at Selena’s pregnancy. However, in reality, that isn’t the case. The statement is from a June 2025 interview with InStyle, and it only reflects his wish to have his own kids and doesn’t confirm the Calm Down singer’s pregnancy. Benny’s exact words were:

“I love kids; I love being an uncle. I want to be a dad, though, God willing. I’m just dreaming and praying every day.”

The InStyle interview wasn’t the first time Benny Blanco spoke about his wish to become a dad. During his May 14, 2024 apperance at The Howard Stern Show, Benny Blanco spoke candidly about the same, calling parenthood the “next goal” to “check off the box”. He noted that he is already very comfortable around children, mentioning he has a “ton of godkids” and “nephews”. When asked if he had discussed having kids with Selena Gomez, he replied that it is a “topic of conversation to me every day.” When the host suggested that Benny might be too busy to have kids, he countered, saying:

“What do you mean? That’s, like, my next goal on the box. I’ve got a lotta good kids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. It’s my thing. I love being around kids.”

Is Benny Blanco’s wife, Selena Gomez actually pregnant? Why do fans think so?

At the recent Rare Beauty foundation launch, Selena Gomez wore a loose-fitting metallic-pink dress. As the photos went viral, social media users speculated that the voluminous style was intended to hide a baby bump. Many expressed happiness, thinking that the beloved pop star might be heading towards parenthood within a year of marrying music producer, Benny Blanco. For the unversed, the Taki Taki singer is approximately six months into her marriage, and rumours about her starting a family are rife, given her desire for motherhood, which she often expresses in interviews. However, the speculations might not be true due to her health issues.

Selena Gomez publicly stated that she will most likely not be able to carry her own children due to multiple medical conditions that would put her and her baby’s life at risk. As a result, she is openly considering surrogacy and adoption as paths to motherhood. She shared the same during her conversation with Vanity Fair. The primary health factors influencing this decision include her Lupus diagnosis. The Ice Cream singer has battled Lupus for years, which led to a kidney transplant in 2017. Additionally, Selena takes specific medications to manage bipolar disorder. She noted that the health issues could make a safe pregnancy impossible for her during her Rolling Stone interview in 2022.
