She said: “That was a great day off. That was my vacation. We got five days to be together, so Benny and I ate a lot of pasta. I spent my birthday with just him, and it was just so easy. He’s just so precious. I loved it.”
The couple celebrate their first wedding anniversary this month and Gomez, 34, couldn’t be happier.
She gushed: “We’re still in the honeymoon stage. It just feels so wonderful to have a partner that genuinely listens and meets you right where you are, whatever that mood or day looks like. I need him, and I love him. He is a very joyful human: fun, spontaneous and he loves to talk.”
Blanco has transformed his wife’s outlook on life for the better.
Asked if she’s adopted anything about the way he approaches life, Gomez said: “Yeah, stop overthinking and be a little bit more confident. That’s something he doesn’t pressure me to be. He just inspires me to be that.”
The Single Soon hitmaker has adopted a more “peaceful” way of life in recent years and is grateful for the balance she’s achieved.
She said: “When I was younger, I felt like it was 90 miles an hour. It was fun, but I only felt good when I would work.
“Now I genuinely take time to appreciate my life, so yes, I’ve been busy but I’ve balanced it really well.
“I love where I am now. I feel very lucky, and I enjoy every day.”
