The interview, which took place in January at their home, covered a wide range of topics, from their engagement ring to their feelings for one another. When asked about choosing the marquise diamond engagement ring, Benny humorously said, "I just tried not to f**k up. That's all I did." He explained how Selena had initially chosen a design with large baguettes, but later decided against the large stones. Benny joked, "So now I have extra baguettes and we're going to make earrings for her. She basically has three wedding rings."

The couple also reflected on their growing love story. Selena revealed, "It was really simple. We got in the studio to work on a song and we just talked; that's how easy it was for me. I liked him before he liked me." Benny confessed, "The second time we hung out, our second date, I was like, 'Wait, does she like me?' I was clueless." The two continued to share their connection, with Benny noting, "The second we started hanging out, I was like, 'This is my wife.'"

As the interview unfolded, both stars discussed their deep mutual support for each other. Benny gushed, "Now I worship the ground she walks on and I feel like she's the same way to me." He added, "There's no ego between us. She's praying for me to win and I'm praying for her to win. And I wake up in the morning - I know she does the same thing - and I'm like, 'How can I make her life better?'"

Benny also opened up about the intensity of his feelings, saying, "Holding her isn't close enough. I want to be inside of her whole body. I just feel a thing for her that I can't even explain." Selena sweetly responded, "You're stuck with me."
In addition to discussing their personal relationship, the couple revealed that their album I Said I Love You First will be released on March 21, with the first single "Scared of Loving You" already out. Benny described the process of creating the album, saying, "We also just made it in this house. We weren't going to a studio every day. I'd be like, 'Hey, I have this cool chord thing.' Then she'd come in." He explained that the process was informal, with short bursts of creativity rather than rigid studio sessions.

Selena also touched on her Oscar-nominated film Emilia Perez, expressing her gratitude for the experience. "It's transcended into something that's more of a gift than anything, and I couldn't be more grateful for it." However, the film has faced controversy after resurfaced tweets from one of the leading stars, Karla Sofia Gascon, caused a stir.
However, when asked to share details about how the record producer proposed, Selena revealed that they would save that story for their future children.
Reflecting on her acting career, Selena noted, "I think my goal has always been to find characters that viscerally move me as an actor, especially after this experience. I don't need to be the lead. I will never be one of those actors. I just cherish and love filmmaking and storytelling, it's one of my greatest joys in life."
With their upcoming album and ongoing personal milestones, Selena and Benny continue to share their journey with fans in this candid and heartfelt interview.
