Benny Blanco makes solo appearance at 2026 US Open

Benny Blanco made a surprise solo appearance at the 2026 US Open, drawing attention shortly after opening up about his relationship with wife Selena Gomez.

The American record producer and songwriter was among several high-profile celebrities who attended the tennis tournament at Arthur Ashe Stadium inside the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens, New York.

Benny attended the event on Sunday, September 13, where he appeared relaxed while keeping a low profile. The music producer opted for a casual yet stylish look, wearing ripped denim jeans with a button-down shirt and a long khaki coat.

His solo appearance quickly caught the attention of fans, particularly because it came after reports surrounding his relationship with Selena Gomez. The couple has faced speculation about their relationship in recent months, including reports that they had spent some time apart.

As Benny enjoyed the star-studded sporting event without his wife, fans began questioning why Selena did not accompany him to the US Open.

Selena, who is known for keeping certain aspects of her personal life private, has not been seen alongside Benny at the tournament. Her absence has attracted additional attention because of comments Benny recently made while discussing his personal life and relationship.

The couple’s relationship has remained a major topic among fans since they began dating. Benny and Selena eventually took their relationship to the next level, with the pair getting married in September 2025.

Their first wedding anniversary is approaching on September 27, making Benny’s recent comments about romance particularly interesting to fans.

Benny Blanco opens up about love

Benny recently appeared for an interview with Willie Geist on TODAY’s Sunday Sitdown, where he discussed his new book, F*** Failure, as well as some lessons he has learned throughout his life and career.

During the conversation, Benny reflected on relationships and explained what he believes is important when building a strong connection with a partner.

According to the producer, understanding your partner and maintaining honest communication are important parts of a successful relationship. He stressed the importance of having an open dialogue and being able to discuss different issues with one another.

Benny also suggested that treating people kindly played a role in bringing Selena into his life.

“Not being a d*** and being nice to people put her into my orbit at the right time,” he said during the conversation.

He further explained that a relationship requires people to understand each other and communicate openly.

“It’s understanding your partner, and being able to talk about things, and have an open dialogue,” Benny said.

While his comments were largely focused on the importance of communication, some fans interpreted his remarks as a possible reference to his own marriage. His appearance at the US Open without Selena added further curiosity surrounding the couple.

However, neither Benny nor Selena has publicly confirmed that there is any serious issue between them, and his solo appearance at the tournament does not necessarily indicate problems in their marriage.

Benny prepares for new book release

Alongside his music career, Benny is currently preparing for the release of his new book, F*** Failure.

The publication is expected to explore his personal journey, career experiences and the failures he encountered before finding success in the entertainment industry.

Benny has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry throughout his career and has established himself as one of the most successful record producers and songwriters.

His book is scheduled to be released on September 15, just days before his first wedding anniversary with Selena.

For now, Benny’s solo appearance at the US Open and his recent comments about relationships have sparked fresh interest among fans, while the couple continues to keep much of their private life away from the spotlight.
