- Published on Jun 19, 2025
- Today, AD is welcomed by hit music producer Benny Blanco to tour his home in Los Angeles. Built in 1939, Blanco’s spacious home is just a stone’s throw away from his recording studio, but despite its proximity to work, Blanco’s design brief was all-play, no-work. With the help of Rachel Leigh Ward and Dana M. Vitrano of bonVIVANT Interiors and designer Keefe Butler of Studio BAD, the resulting space is eclectic and playful with plenty of areas to kick back and relax with family and friends, including superstar girlfriend Selena Gomez. From a red velvet movie theatre with a candy room to a Mariah Carey-worthy dressing room, Blanco’s home is full of personality and fun for all. “I know the house is kooky…one time, a friend told me, ‘I love coming over to your house because I feel like I can just let go and be my true self.’ That’s exactly what I’m going for here.”

FINALLY SOMEONE WITH A PERSONALITY THAT'S ACTUALLY REFLECTED IN THEIR HOUSE!!! LOVE THIS
im shocked by how much i love this house
I was thinking the same thing!❤
For real...he just seems so cool
I feel like every room looks like him. Does that make sense?
"I hate it when you go to a nice house and it doesn't feel like lived in." AGREE!
Exactly
Fr 💯
셀레나와 행복하길 🙏
Benny is the definition of secure masculinity and I'm here for it
At first I couldn't see how she'd go for Benny after Justin, but now that I've seen a bunch of interviews, I 100% get it. He seems kind, fun, SECURE, and mature. So happy for them!
It's called being a homosexual
I wouldn't even call it that. I'd say he's secure in his own personal identity.
lol you mean hes rich
Yes! My thoughts exactly.
I like him so much now, I know why Selena is crazy about him. Look at the way he always mentions all his friends who helped him build or collaborate on his house. He always remembers everything he's been given. I think it's very romantic - a guy who always remembers everything he has, and talks a lot about food. 😍❤️
He definitely seems to pay attention to every detail and never forgets them and that is attractive
He is one of the few celebrities that you can be sure to be comfortable being your silly goofy self around.
So real I respect that
I loved him day one I knew he was the best person for Selena ❤❤❤
seriously it makes so much sense he's an awesome person with a glowing personality
He is so eclectic that it's difficult to define him. He has classy, elegant taste with so much depth, but at the same time, you get glimpses of childishness. You can tell he is extremely intelligent.
Yessss! His childishness is my favorite!
He's like Jack Osbourne but without the substance abuse and arrogance. Haha! Just watched the shower scene where he wants to talk to someone with the steam. Too funny!
It’s a lot going on, haha but I like it. My house will be similar. Every room is different and stuffed animals everywhere ! 😊
Benny is fun. Benny is real, not fake. He's not trying to be anyone else, but himself. He's confident, humble. He relates to us. We get now why Selena chose him. I love his energy and creativeness.
Yeah.. its clear what she sees in him
He's transparent
Its funny how much he talks to the film crew. Most celebs just talk to the camera, but he is actually talking to the people. He seems like a nice guy. And I like his place, it looks very comfortable.
Yes, that's the difference!
Yes he definitely seems like a people person! The fact that he said he would have a bottle ready for his guests if he noticed they liked it before shows how caring he is
Yes, because he is not an actor 😅😅
@@Coolramvishnu People have made a huge deal of Selena being too hot for him. That is so ignorant! They could make music and have fun, like she didn't get to. He cooks for her. How many guys have tried to or dated Selena that were into only themselves. I hope they make a life together and stay laughing.
@@Coolramvishnuyeah, but doesn't it seem like if they were actors they would be acting like they are talking to the film crew, lol? They talk to the camera instead. Which is not acting. Well, not professionlly anyway. Not all people do this, because AD has had some really interesting people featured. Benney is very humorous and I can see why he has so many friends. They are all very artistic as he obviously is. I can see why Selena chose him as a partner.😊
Benny is what having money is all about. Great friends, connection, food, love, sharing, caring & the best energy ❤
Very very creepy looking guy. With all those stuffed animals and weird style about him. Definitely a strange bird and I wouldn't trust anyone alone with this guy. You people clearly have zero senses about you. Hollyweirdo
you dont need money for that
@@Benjy1you need tough
Exactly! 🎉
that's exactly what i thought, if i was rich, this is what i would do and kinda be
I love how you can tell he has total golden retriever energy at the beginning when he opens the door
Definitely❤😂
@@brave_heart2891😂
I can honestly see what Selena sees in Benny, he seems like a great guy and fun to be around
He’s gross stop it
They have a song together
I was thinking the same 😂❤
Shes getting older and desperate. It's not hard
I thought the same thing!!!
His personality is what makes him attractive - so rare to find someone actually funny & nice to be around in Hollywood these days tbh.
....hahaha...personality: when someone is not pleasant to look at= none, no charisma.
he is attractive and has a great personality
He is NOT!¡!
how is he funny tf
infantile to the moon and back
The more I know about Benny the more I like him. What a great personality. He just radiates positive vibes.
Same
Yeah I came to watch him for some positive energy
He is so supportive of his friends, I noticed that all the rooms have something made by a friend 🥺💕
And he has so many friends! Haha
its cheaper liek that bro
Cute rite!
Or he is became friends with people who make stuff for him. Either we that's awesome
He just call everybody "friend" even employee
I am shocked at how much I like his house. It truly looks like a place where you feel welcome and can relax
Where you can have fun and be free ❤❤
most people who have money have the tackiest stuff
I love how he's blatantly spent time THINKING and thus managed to articulate all his abstract wishes into very clear concise perfectly worded, intelligent sentences: "I wanted this house to be the sort of place where everybody can be their youngest Self and just let loose." I found that absolutely charming. He's a very deep thinker and applies himself in ways most people just don't. The way he brings his own internal living into shared reality in such a respectful, impressively engaged way is rare and inspiring. I love discovering new people and being moved by their gifts and unique personalities. I'm sad to think of how many people are overlooked in our overstimulated, fast-paced world; we need to make efforts to really sit and give people our complete attention in order to truly see them, truly hear them-- and to recognise what it is that makes them special.
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Well-said!
true, like everyone is welcome, ..
I'm a total introvert, but the parties he's describing sound like fun. Not just about alcohol and loud music, but about food, sharing experiences and connections together and getting to know people.
You forget how epic this man’s career is because of how much time he spends uplifting others. Super cool dude A+
Thiss!!!
A plus comment
YES. Selena never look back. He's magic.
Edgar Ramirez has the chemistry.
No es mirar hacia atrás es seguir pensando en ese amor frustrado!!
Blanco's personality seems very pleasant, open, and emotionally stable. He comes across as a true musical genius and has no reason to boast about his achievements or compensate for anything. Very commendable. And: He radiates so much energy. It's incredible!
Ok I totally like him. I confess, when I saw him and Selena together I didn’t get it. Now I do. He’s filled with childlike wonder and seems like that guy you had in your choir class that was kind and darling and kinda unhinged but the minute the song started he was pure magic in every way and you knew you could trust him more than any jock that held your high school crush in limbo. He’s perfection.
he also helped shape modern pop. no big deal
Truly agreed with you 😅
I feel like Benny would be the best friend ever
Is it because he showers with his male friends?
@@Cereal_kwilla Does he?
@ did you watch the video ?? 😂
🎉🎉🎉 1:42 1:43 1:43
Hello?
I have friends like this guy! Secure, fun, self-aware, happy, intelligent, and loves to create community.
You’re so lucky
He’s pretty cool! I’m glad Selena found someone that actually is humble and personable! He’s sentimental and love antiques as well. He cooks as well!
ikr
This changed the way I see Benny, he’s super down to earth and doesn’t deserve the hate he gets on TikTok
Most ppl don't.
He definitely doesn't
Most people don't deserve the hate. People hate people they don't even know. People have hate in their heart and spread away, because they are mean.
Why would people hate someone? Hate is a very strong word especially when they have not hurt them personally 🥲
I 100% agree I had to come here to not judge this dude. I am on a Benny hop to know more about his true and realest side.
Most people on TikTok are shallow, they care about looks more than anything
The Sentence "I want everyone to have favorite room" is so interesting and nice. Because i don´t think i ever heard that before actually, and the house got me, it has so much personality and reflects him in every corner. He seems like a really nice Guy and i hope he and selena are going to be happy! I think he is the nicest guy she ever dated.
I was expecting a very cluttered and non cohesive house, but surprisingly, one of the most "homey" houses ever featured. He seems like a childlike genuine soul. There's truly more to a person than what you see on the outside.
I’m on the autism spectrum and have trouble spending a lot of time with people - but I would spend a lot of time with this dude. Very chill, very special energy.
That’s a very special comment. Really lovely.
Same. Except when the music is loud or he is smoking hahaha 😂
He’s actually so adorable 😂❤ he’s very relatable and goofy instead of one of those rude celebs who act like they can’t be bothered. I love him with Selena!
His energy is so infectious. He's present, positive and just uplifting.
@wingberry123, it really is; I think I was smiling during the entire video.
And lol funny!
I love how he starts explaining something then gets distracted and starts talking about that 😂 he’s not scared to be real and he’s not trying too hard he’s just being himself.
He's very authentic
ADHD?
hehe was about to say! I have ADHD & can see it potentially in him
He’s great.. I want to be his friend he is so fun.. you can tell everyday would be an adventure.. and never boring. I wish I could be so unapologetically myself. He’s so free..
exactly😂🎉
Now that is a free person. He is unabashedly himself. I adore him!
I get what Selena sees in him even more now. Like, such a kind, friendly, uplifting soul. She deserves every bit of love and care, and he seems like a guy who will give that to her. I’m so happy for them 😊💖
I see why Selena Gomez is dating him. He is a sweetheart and hilarious!
And she just really wanted a bf
Selena didn’t go date somebody the next day or before her current relationship was over. She always waits. She’s a celebrity even though there is bad people out there that body shame her, anybody would want to date her just because she’s a celebrity.
@@Blufishiihe openly said he did stuffs to impressed her if she was desperate she would have dated him way back when they collaborated.
@@k.h6267 obviously she wasnt desperate then she was still in her prime.
@@Blufishii so you are a mind reader
I'm so sorry that I judge you so harshly for Selena. You are the most adorable and down to earth person. I love your personality.
Can see what exactly Selena saw in him , such a genuine guy with almost a childlike innocence and eccentricity. I love how he is all about feeding people and making no fuss about someone spilling something on his sofa. That says a lot about how generous and kind hearted he is. Rare treasure in this day and age❤
The more I learn about him, the more I like him. He seems like a light soul!
the most genuine, charming, humble, talented and down to earth celebrity i've ever seen. benny is truly a gift
My new goal in life is to become Benny’s friend so I can go to dope dinner parties and have him hand feed me while I’m splashin’ around in the pool. He seems like such a fun and caring person.
I love that goal!!! ❤
I see how you didnt say you wanted to use the shower with him
@@ramryn592😏😏 that's further down the line in our friendship lol
Same!
I didn't really get the appeal before but he seems like a really fun, sweet guy and his house is amazing. I didn't expect to love it but I did!
Benny Blanco is the friend we all need 🥺
He seems like such a well rounded guy who is very comfortable in his skin!
I like how he mentions his friends this that. He loves people.
He's about community; I love that, too. Sometimes, we do see people who live out who we would want to be. To me, Ben is the Phoebe out loud.
Every interview i see him he talks about 'my friend did this' - he has soooo many cool, creative friends
He definitely has a eye for art, but not in a ostentatious way, the entire house is filled with it, and still feels relaxed, although the decor it's not my style, I liked it a lot, ah, and it's the first time in AD that you can tell that the owner REALLY cooks in the kitchen!!!
Ostentatious or expensive?
I feel his energy when he is around , Selena deserve this kind of personality, Real ❤
I love when adults who own a whole house say "this is my room" when talking about their bedroom. Like all the rooms are your rooms. thats your bedroom. but when you're a kid, you have YOUR room, so it sticks lol
hey girl wyd here lol , didn’t expect see Gabbie Hanna in the comments lol
“My room” is short for bedroom
@@ultravioletpisces3666duh
i mean i guess but when you have guest rooms and then one bedroom is specifically just for yourself lol
Love love love his vibe, style, priorities, and house! It's full of personality and not excessively ostentatious. Definitely feels homey and lived in. I love how he incorporated so many of his friends in his design process 🥹
I love how he seems so happy to just be here. And he seems like he’d be a great friend for anyone!!
I just love how he name checks all of his friends talents, he really appreciates the different ways they all approach their creativity. Such a pure soul.
This is everything I wanted and more. I love that he is 50% goofball and 50% loving sweet gentle human. What a solid dude.
That’s all ask😢
Hate his voice; hers too
He's authentic and lovable
@uniqueweasel, let's not forget about how talented he is, songwriter, producer, etc. but I agree with you.
There's a diffrence between a person collecting arts by a renowned artists they admire and a person who collects arts done by their friends (doesn't matter if that person also happens to be a renowned artist; looks like benny has a lot of luck with them - because the meaning becomes different. it's no longer about caring/treasuring material as much as it is about another person). long story short, everytime benny blanco says my friend made this and my friend made that, you know what kind of a person he is. very happy selena found a person like this to be hers. all the best to them both.
his house and personality screams a caring granny with touch of a heart like a kid 🤍
😭😭😭
I don't understand why people be hating on Benny Blanco and Selena, cuz I can see his charm, character, charisma, quirky, happy-go-lucky type attitude, and sometimes in life we need that special someone who doesn't always take life so serious
Its something weird about him its screams ....
@@eszternemeth9343the only weird one here is you🥲
@@eszternemeth9343he is just different and weird and people around him understands him
Atleast he makes Selena is happy. Maybe because of his transparency quality which is rare gives the weird vibe. I like him ...nice dude
@@eszternemeth9343 All people are unique. Benny seems very authentic and it’s evident that he is enjoying life as it’s meant to be lived. May he always be blessed and continue to be down to earth and appreciative.
I have fallen down a Benny Blanco rabbit hole and I’m loving it. He’s so brilliant but also so personable, I feel like we could actually be friends 😂
Same here! Just started my rabbit hole yesterday.
Same
I can tell he treats Selena like the queen she is ♥
How?
@@Pizzaturtle13I think it’s because he seems to treat everyone well, and if it’s his person, even more so!
Why do you think she is a “queen”? Because she is famous? That doesn’t make you a queen!!!
More like a drama queen
More like a drama queen
He is a mood! Everyone needs a friend like Benny. His description for each of his rooms is sooo welcoming.
ok, now i get it selena. sometimes they are so funny, confident, nice and secure in their masculinity that you actually forget they are not that handsome. having an actual personality is hot af
Wow. I do see what Selena sees in him. He seems to grounded, so down to earth and kinda just an ordinary, breath of fresh air. A celebrity that hasn't let fame ( totally) go to his head. The best part is he genuinely seems to care about the people in his " community ".
Guy painted his toe nails...
@@mazzeeok?
@@mazzee megan fox boyfriend paints his nails as well.
Paknting.your nails great hygiene❤
@@mazzee and?
He’s husband material, realest and very down to earth fun guy omg. I would love to have a Benny Blanco husband for me too
Oh yea husband material he drinks his friends urine and showers with men lol 🤦🏼♂️
I love people with passion and I really miss my mom
Same dude, but living paycheck to paycheck wouldn't even be on your radar.
the pink closet and squishmallows on his bed are the biggest green flags for me 🫶🏼
This may be one of my most favorite homes we’ve seen on AD. I love his style so much. I love all of his possessions that he holds dear. I love the stuffed animals on the couch. This guy is very appealing. Selena girl, we get you. It all makes sense. He’s cute, charismatic af, sweet and seems like an all around amazing guy. 😍
❤❤❤❤ exactly
He seems like such a nice, fun guy to be around.
I didnt know much about him tbh till recently and now has become my favourite celeb. Such a cool down to earth guy
"I dont know... makes me happy" might be my favorite life motto
This guy is blessed with FRIENDS!! Who said, “To have a friend, you must be a friend?”… No doubt he is gifted in friendship! BLESSED!!!
I see why Selena loves this guy . His house is magical
Benny is the type of person with whom we could easily feel at ease, knowing he would never judge us also Benny's immense talent in music transforms his compositions into true art; he ought to consider listening to his own songs. I truly admire his energy and vibe.
The only celebrity that grows his own fresh garden of veggies to give to the less fortunate! Bravo Benny. You truley have this angelic Ora about you! ❤
I didn’t realize until about halfway through the video, but I couldn’t stop smiling while watching this…he is just so smart and funny and unique. There’s something so magnetic about his personality and you can tell that you could completely be yourself around him, no matter how weird you may be. 😂
Hes the best combination of chill but then hes also insanely pulled together to constantly be hosting people, throwing huge parties, cooking huge meals, making a garden to share with the community, while writing hit songs!! Sooooo happy for Selena! She deserves this type of love.
The fact that he offered bro a sip tells everything. Like what? You don't know where my lips been bruh?!? Thats love. Idgaf. Shoutout to Benny
He licked the bottom of a shoe in the video
Selena won at life ❤ May we all find our benny blanco ❤🎉
Have you noticed how much his focus is on other people and making sure they attended to and happy 😍😭
10:48 "You're not a professional athlete, getting in a cold plunge for 6 minutes a day isn't going to help you write 12 e-mails faster!" True! 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Love it so true!!😂😂
Favourite quote ever!
So funny 😂
Thanks! I also gathered that one
Selena hit the jackpot ngl
real talk
So glad Selena developed this relationship with him.
She deserves a solid guy, quirky to match her creativity but stable and confident and happy in himself.❤🎉
This comment seems its being pay for his team. Do you know people are wonder-questioning why Selena is dating him. 🤔
He is like a kid and wird but not in nice way.
@@cguide2598 Oh well, you can wonder as much as you like!!! Hope you're being paid for it
@@cguide2598LOL
It's the way you really think this guy cares about people's opinion
He doesn't GAF😂 that's his character
I love how down to earth and genuine he is. He doesn’t try to be someone he’s not. He stays true to himself and that’s so hard to come by. Love him for Selena she deserves a kind hearted soul like Benny and he deserves a sweet amazing soul like Selena. So happy for these two . ❤
عجبني ان كيف اختار الاثاث واهتم بالتفاصيل عشان يحس نفسه بالبيت فععلا كشعور و يحس براحة مو مثل البيوت الي كأنها خيالية من كثر الابداع الي فيها
و واضح انه يحب الناس تزوره ف اهتم ان لما يجون ضيوف يكونون مرتاحين
فنان الصراحة
His house looks so cosy, nice and full of personality
He looks like he permanently smells like he didn’t shower for 2 weeks
I've never seen a bread chair before.
How much fun can a human be, love it!!!
He’s cute and so nice and makes you feel so welcoming that means more than anything!❤
Totally agree.. its hard for me to find a celebrity house that i like and feel like i can live in without feeling like abandoned resort… his house is somehow cozy and feel like a beautiful relaxing place with personality
I love that everything centres around friends
He seems to be such a lovely soul and his house is amazing omg
This guy is happy in his own life and on top of that naturally loves to share that happiness with others. Cleared my doubt on why Selena likes him and how it's not just about looks!
He is most definitely a one in a million! I am so taken aback by his kindness and his gentle energy. I've never seen a celebrity that I've wanted to be friends with, more than him! You are incredibly lucky to be a part of his world!
Artists' homes are a whole different breed of spaces.
Benny seems like the most genuine, down to earth guy in the industry, period. Much love to him and Selena - a great match
I love how excited he is about things in such a genuine way. And how his friends and family are soo important to him. He is a genuine doll!
I love how he is just himself and not be what people want to see or try to seem so perfect. Benny is Benny never change
I find people who are just being themselves attractive. It what makes us unique. He seems like a fun, intelligent and interesting person. His house motifs says a lot. Very creative w a sense of humor.
I found it so cute how he climbed up the bookshelf to show that sculpt., then lovingly kissed it. Real love there.
I love his honesty about cold plunges! Never knew who he was before he started seeing Selena. He’s seems genuine and humble. Happy for Selena and Benny who found each other 🎉
Shook to my core cause now I’m obsessed with Benny Blanco
Me too....and before this video i was wondering why Selena is dating him but now i understand
Same he's cool AF
He's absolutely adorable! This is the first time I have seen him in anything other than gossipy sites talking about being Selena's bf. He's rare for Hollywood and I'm in love lol
11:44 for people to gather around and eat. Isn't that what life's all about? Beautifully said.
Love his house style, his personality and he can COOK!!
Omg that movie room!!!! Loved this house tour and Benny. One of my favorite segments.
Benny’s litteraly a modern day Picasso. His art, his style, his personality everything about him is art.
Funny that’s exactly what I can see ❤
whaaaaat???? jajajajJAJAJAJAJA
@@esemismo138 What?
Not at all.
I dont think any artist wants to be like Picasso.
He’s such an angelic soul, he’s so sweet & warm ❤️
Yeah I can see why Miss Gomez adores this guy.
yes, looks like a nice guy
I bet they all laugh so much. He's a doll.
Yeah, because she can borrow his heels while he showers with his friend, Dave. 😂🤦🏻
Personality makes a big difference
His shines through
Benny: The Queen of Quirk. The King of Authenticity. The Page of Childlike Wonder. The Joker of Life's too short to not be Yourself.
Okay, this house has the MOST comfortable looking couches and chairs! And I do love the funky colors and textiles. I honestly have no idea who he is, but he's quirky and original. Fun watch.
Thank you for having a house centered around actually living in it and enjoying it! What a fun, thoughtful person, he also seems like a great friend.
“you wanna sip?” is so cute. I hope dey get married, have babies. he seems so sweet.
What a charming person. You can tell he's just being himself and it's refreshing.
I’m glad Selena and him are together
