Selena Gomez opens up on her past relationships
Selena Gomez recently appeared on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast along with her fiancé Benny Blanco and talked about the lessons she has learned from her past relationships, acknowledging the “mistakes” she’s made. The actress also talked about the impact of her past experiences on her current relationship.
During the conversation, Gomez acknowledged that she had a habit of being emotionally reactive in previous relationships. This ultimately led her to take a step back from dating. She shared, “I think that’s why I was alone for five years because I really needed to collect myself.”
She also admitted that if that if she’d met Blanco a decade earlier, she wouldn’t have been in the right mindset for the relationship. “10 years ago it’s not that I wouldn’t have wanted to be with you, I just wouldn’t have been in the right headspace, and I don’t think you deserved what I had gone through before,” Gomez said.
The “Lose You to Love Me” singer admitted that she has made mistakes but emphasized that those experiences taught her valuable lessons. She added, “I’ve made mistakes and I just want this to be right. So for me, that was a lesson that I had to learn.” She also praised Blanco’s patience, explaining that it has helped her communicate better.
Gomez and Blanco confirmed their relationship in December 2023 and got engaged a year later. Shortly after announcing their engagement, the couple also revealed their collaborative music project.
