Benny Blanco admits he never saw Selena Gomez's show “Wizards of Waverly Place” until they started dating: 'I knew she was a kid star'

Wizards of Waverly Place made Selena Gomez a star, but her fiancé Benny Blanco admitted that he never watched the show.

On the latest episode of the Therapuss With Jake Shane podcast, Blanco said he asked Gomez to watch her Disney Channel sitcom ahead of her appearance on the reboot, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

"I knew she was, like, a kid star, but I had never seen any of it," he said of his fiancée.

The music producer's only familiarity with the show was with its theme song, as Billie Eilish had used the tune as inspiration for her track "Bad Guy."

Initially hesitant, Gomez agreed to watch the original Wizards with Blanco, who said she showed him "a few good scenes."

"I get it," he said.

Blanco also shared that he had never heard of the Jonas Brothers until the group came out with "Sucker" in 2019, despite Gomez dating Nick Jonas when they were both Disney kids. Blanco attributed this to the fact that he was older than Disney Channel's target demographic when Gomez and the Jonas Brothers were associated with the network.

Gomez returned to her role as the mischievous Alex Russo on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place last year and is expected to appear in the upcoming second season.
