Selena Gomez has already been welcomed into her fiancé’s family, if a recent Instagram post is anything to go by – so who are Benny Blanco’s parents, and what do they do for a living?

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially the cutest couple in the music industry. After confirming their engagement late last year, the pair released their collaborative album I Said I Love You First in March. Now, they’ve completed another milestone: prom.

In celebration of his birthday last month, Blanco threw a prom-themed party to give Gomez the complete prom experience: as a home-schooled child actress she had missed out on that rite of passage, he revealed on The Jennifer Hudson Show. More recently, the two were spotted rocking matching Western-inspired outfits while catching a Knicks versus Celtics NBA game at Madison Square Garden in New York.

However, the sweetest update came through a reposting on “Rare” singer Gomez’s Instagram account. In a video she shared on a recent carousel post captioned “a few memories”, Blanco’s mother, Sandra Levin, can be seen wearing an adorable necklace with a locket. She has a grandchild on her lap who is playing with the jewellery – the picture inside being of “Uncle Benny and Selena”. Clearly, the Blancos have welcomed Benny’s wife-to-be with open arms.
