Selena Gomez<\/a> is one of today\u2019s brightest stars, and that\u2019s been the case since her star-making turn in Wizards of Waverly Place began in 2007. The succeeding years have seen her become a pop music superstar, nail billionaire beauty entrepreneur<\/a> status, and land Emmy nominations for acting and hosting (Only Murders in the Building and her Selena+ franchise on HBO Max, respectively). Unfortunately, it\u2019s also been a time of navigating mental health challenges<\/a> for Gomez, and she recently opened up about how new hubby Benny Blanco<\/a> has supported that journey.<\/p>\n

What Did Selena Gomez Say About Benny Blanco Supporting Her Mental Health Over The Years?<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anything that seems to be true, it\u2019s that massive professional success doesn\u2019t automatically lead to a great state of mind, as many famous people have spoken out about their struggles with things like anxiety<\/a>, depression, ADHD and other mental conditions that can make life very challenging.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actress and singer Selena Gomez is among that number, with her emotional 2022 documentary, My Mind & Me<\/a>, focusing much of its runtime on the star\u2019s mental health after her bipolar disorder diagnosis and several physical obstacles. When asked by Entertainment Tonight<\/a> how Benny Blanco has supported her, she said:<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s so important to equally have anyone around you, especially a partner that understands where your values are and what\u2019s important to you. And if they don\u2019t align morally, sometimes it can be a little cloudy. But I think it\u2019s really \u2013 I know what matters to him; he knows what matters to me, and we\u2019re just there for each other. <\/p>\n

Part of the reason why this topic was broached was likely that Gomez was on the red carpet for her third annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit<\/a>, which she created to raise money so that more young people can have access to mental health initiatives. The \u201cLove You Like a Love Song\u201d singer puts her money where her mouth is when it comes to her mental health awareness activism, and continues to be open about things such as how becoming a beauty mogul didn\u2019t actually make her happier, because of how she expects \u201csomething bad to happen\u201d<\/a> after she experiences something good.<\/p>\n

But, Blanco has been A++ when it comes to not only getting \u201cwhat matters\u201d to his wife, but always being ready and willing to assist when she wants to achieve goals. So, that mindset applies to her mental health and everything else. As she added:<\/p>\n

He\u2019s in competition with himself, I tell him, he\u2019s always like \u2018I want to be a part!\u2019 And I\u2019m like \u2018OK, you can!\u2019 <\/p>\n

Blanco noted before their wedding that his secret to being a good partner is talking to the person he\u2019s with and being able to understand where they\u2019re coming from. His key to that is for men, especially, to \u201cjust shut the fuck up and listen,\u201d<\/a> and it seems pretty clear that he does that in all areas of his relationship with Gomez.<\/p>\n
