Selena Gomez, a celebrated American actress and singer, recently opened up about her youthful crushes in a candid interview late last night. Before becoming engaged to her fiancé, producer Benny Blanco, Selena revealed she had “too many” crushes in her younger years, some of which were on well-known celebrities.
The 32-year-old star shared that one of her earliest crushes was on pop sensation Jesse McCartney, following the release of his hit single “Beautiful Soul.” Gomez also admitted to being drawn to actor Chad Michael Murray, best known for his role in the popular series One Tree Hill.
“I loved Chad Michael Murray from One Tree Hill,” she said. However, many of her crushes weren’t limited to actors or musicians.
“I also just had crushes more in real life than on actors or musicians,” Selena confessed, hinting at a mix of real-life admirations and celebrity infatuations.
Recalling one of her early acting gigs, Gomez shared a memorable experience with actors Dylan and Cole Sprouse from The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. Guest-starring on the show at the age of 11 or 12, she admitted to having a crush on one of the twins at the time.
Selena also reflected on her first kiss, which she revealed took place on the set of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
“It was with Dylan, and it was really funny because both of us were so young,” she recalled. “We were figuring out how to kiss. I had never done it, and I was so scared,” she added, laughing at the innocent moment from her teenage years.
While her childhood crushes made for entertaining memories, Gomez has since found love in her adult years.
In December, she delighted fans by announcing her engagement to longtime boyfriend and producer Benny Blanco via Instagram. Although the pair has largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight, the news of their engagement has been met with excitement and well-wishes from fans worldwide.
Selena Gomez’s journey from childhood stardom, complete with youthful crushes and awkward first kisses, to her current life as a seasoned entertainer and fiancée, showcases her growth and personal evolution. As she steps into this exciting new chapter with Benny Blanco, her reflections on the past serve as a charming reminder of how far she’s come.
