Benny Blanco has made a heartbreaking admission about his fears with his fiancée Selena Gomez.
The loved-up Hollywood couple have gripped headlines ever since they publicly came out as an item in 2023.
Fans were shook by the sudden pairing since Blanco and Gomez had long been friends, having met when they were just teens of around 17 and then working on the music producer's track 'I Can't Get Enough' in 2019.

Things apparently started heating up between the pals in mid 2023 before Gomez splashed confirmation of their relationship on social media.
Fast forward to Christmas last year, and the couple sealed the deal by getting engaged.
While on the surface the couple look as besotted as ever, the 36-year-old songwriter has revealed his fears and insecurities about his relationship with the 32-year-old singer.
Speaking to Interview Magazine, Blanco said he frequently worries that Gomez is going to have a change of heart and dump him.
He said: "I'm so scared she's just going to wake up and be like, 'What? No.'"
The Disney Channel superstar swatted his concerns away, adding: "You're stuck with me."
She also described him as 'very romantic' as evidenced by his somewhat cheesy Valentine's Day gesture, where he filled a bathtub full of nacho cheese with 'I love you' written out in chips scattered across the floor.
Blanco continued: "There's no ego between us. She's praying for me to win, and I'm praying for her to win."
The comments come as the celebs are preparing to release their joint album I Said I Love You First, which drops on March 21.
Blanco and Gomez were reportedly hesitant about the collaboration but said they made a pact to stop if the vibe became 'weird'.
Luckily, the album 'sort of fell into place', Blanco said, due to 'a lot of hard work and love' and some 'hodgepodge' here and there.
A track from the album has already been teased to fans with their first love song, 'Scared of Loving You', along with their music video that was filmed at Disneyland, dropping last week.
The sweet interview, which is the first the pair have done together, saw the couple finish each other's sentences and talk about their relationship at length.
Blanco revealed he had no inside help when it came to picking the engagement ring, a marquise diamond, saying he managed to find the 'perfect' one from the slightest hints from Gomez.
Blanco said: "We talk about everything all day so - also, I never take myself seriously, so everything I say -"
"Is a joke", Gomez said.
The love-struck Blanco went on to say the 'second' the pair started hanging out romantically, he knew she would be his wife.
"I was telling my mom, 'This is the girl I'm going to marry,'" he added.
He continued: "I could sit in this bed with [Gomez] for 72 hours and feel like I didn’t miss anything. She’s like my f**king heroin and Xanax combined."
