"She’s just like the best, most genuine person. Everything is so completely real. Like every day when I wake up and I like walk by the mirror as I’m like, walking to her and I’m like, and I like, look at myself and I’m like, ‘How did I get here?’”
During a previous interview with Time Magazine from May this year, Gomez admitted to thinking about adopting a baby alone, before she met Benny. She revealed that she decided to do so by 35 if she was still alone.
"I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it. A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it," she said. Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone."
