Benny Blanco Reveals the Surprisingly Early Time He and Selena Gomez Wake Up: ‘Our Moment’ (Exclusive)

The music producer — who’s featured in  2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue — says the early morning hours are his “favorite time” with Gomez

They’re one of Hollywood’s busiest power couples, but Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez are intentional about their time together.

The music mega-producer — who’s featured in PEOPLE’s 2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue — tells PEOPLE exclusively that it’s important for him and Gomez to ease into their day.

“I’m a real morning person. It’s my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both wake up really early,” he says of Gomez, who’s been garnering Oscar buzz for her role in Emilia Pérez. “We’re usually eating breakfast by 6:15. It’s like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up.”

Though there are days he would like to sleep in, Blanco, 36, says he’s still usually up before dawn.

“I get sleepy at nighttime. I’m like an old man. I want to go to bed early. I want to lay down. I want to be horizontal as quickly as possible throughout the day,” he quips. “I still wake up at 6 no matter what time [I go to bed]. I go to bed at 5:30 [a.m.] and I’m up at 6:15.'”

In the wide-ranging interview — during which Blanco shared eight rules for being a 𝓈ℯ𝓍y gentleman — the TikTok sensation underscored the importance of prioritizing your partner’s needs.

“I go all out for every date. We go all out for each other. One time Sel was like, ‘Oh, I want to take you on a date.’ I was like, ‘Oh, that’s so sweet.’ Then we drove somewhere and she had rented out a whole botanical gardens for me,” he recalls.

And for Valentine’s Day, Blanco returned the favor when he prepped all of Gomez’s favorite foods, including homemade movie-theater nachos and fried pickles.

“It doesn’t mean spending your entire bank account. It means just being attentive: Listen to the things they like when you’re talking,” he says of making someone feel loved.

Dating since July 2023, Blanco says he still feels grateful to have Gomez, 32, by his side.

“I’m so happy. I met my best friend. I have a best friend that I also get to kiss. I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life,” he says. “I sound like a loser, but it’s amazing!”
