Introducing Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco EXCLUSIVE: Their Love Story Like You’ve Never Heard Before from On Purpose with Jay Shetty.

Follow the show: On Purpose with Jay Shetty

How did Selena and Benny first meet?

What makes their love story unique?

On today’s episode of On Purpose, Jay sits down with global superstar Selena Gomez and acclaimed music producer Benny Blanco where they share their love story like they never have before. They open up about their personal journey—one that didn’t start with an immediate spark.

Their story is full of humor, mixed signals, and that moment when it all clicked. Benny once thought Selena didn’t like him, while Selena, protecting her heart, kept her distance. But as their friendship grew, they built something real—a relationship rooted in trust, respect, open communication, and always supporting each other. Their story is a true testament that love unfolds when the timing is right.

Together, Jay, Selena, and Benny reflect on the power of embracing love, letting go of past fears, and choosing a partner who helps you grow. Their journey serves as a beautiful reminder that love often comes when you least expect it—but when it’s right, you’ll know.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Build a Strong Friendship Before Dating

How to Communicate Openly in a Relationship

How to Maintain Trust in a Long-Distance Relationship

How to Support Your Partner’s Emotional Needs

How to Balance a Busy Career with a Healthy Relationship

Selena and Benny’s story reminds us that true love isn’t defined by grand gestures or perfection—it’s about finding someone who sees you for who you are, supports you through life’s challenges, and makes even the simplest moments feel special.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

In a story that made international headlines, French grandmother Gisèle Pélicot was drugged and raped by her husband Dominique Pélicot and more than 70 men he invited to rape her while she remained unconscious. In this episode of The Oprah Podcast, Gisèle’s daughter Caroline Darian reveals how her father’s secret life has devastated their family and destroyed the life they knew. During this candid conversation, Caroline shares how they found out about her father’s crimes, how he recruited men to rape her mother, and the lengths he took to keep his perversion a secret from everyone. She will also talk about the shock of discovering photos of herself unconscious in his collection, how he raped her mom in Caroline’s home and how she and her mother found the strength to face her father and the dozens of accused men during the trial.

In this episode of Oprah’s Book Club Presented by Starbucks, Oprah sits down with Amy Griffin, founder of the investment firm G9 Ventures, to discuss her powerful new memoir, The Tell. This groundbreaking and deeply moving book chronicles Amy’s journey of confronting her painful past to embrace the truth of who she is today. In a heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, Amy reflects on how facing her deepest trauma has freed her from chasing perfection and achievement for validation, allowing her to find peace within herself. Amy details the moment she awakened to the buried memories of her past—a revelation that ultimately set her on a path to healing. Amy takes questions from the audience as she shares how the telling of her story has deepened her connection with herself and those around her.

For this conversation, Amy and Oprah are joined by a live audience enjoying the seasonal Starbucks ® Anniversary Blend coffee in a Starbucks café in Chicago, Illinois.

This conversation is not intended to offer medical advice. Psychedelics remain illegal in most states, consult your own healthcare professional before considering any kind of mental health treatment.
