Although it was not officially announced who the love-struck couple purchased the house from, older sources can reveal who this mysterious Hollywood director is. The new residence of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco is considerably less ostentatious than their previous dwelling. However, the attractiveness of Beverly Hills has made their purchase one of the largest financial transactions in the area.
The singer, actress and successful owner of a cosmetic brand Selena Gomez (32) announced at the end of the year that she got engaged to the music producer Benny Blanco (36).
"Forever starts now,"
she announced in an Instagram post. The ring and a happy hug full of laughter confirmed everything. As did her fiancé, who wrote under the post:
"Hey, this is my wife..."
The couple met in 2019 while working on her single I Can´t Get Enough.
Both fiancés will soon live in Beverly Hills. They bought a beautiful Spanish-style mansion for 35 million dollars. It is one of the biggest real estate deals in Beverly Hills.
Selena Gomez was used to much more spatial privacy, her property in Los Angeles is literally a castle with a huge garden. The Spanish style living in Beverly Hills doesn't provide that, however, their new home is within the terms of privacy surrounded by high hedges. Neighbors guard their privacy in a similar manner.
The house is supposed to have seven bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, a library, a grand spiral staircase, a glass greenhouse, a fitness center, and a swimming pool. Beautiful wrought balconies and windows complete the southern style.
The plot hides several relaxation zones and the area is nicely separated from the road towards the house. Not only by a high live fence, but also by a wide strip of green separating the entire house from the surroundings.
The relaxing rear of the house is oriented south and is dominated by a medium-sized swimming pool perfect for swimming. However, compared to other properties, we can call it cute, cozy, and small.
Already by the end of the year, when the purchase was first announced, there was speculation about who could have been the previous owner. It was supposed to be a famous Hollywood director, whose identity was not revealed. However, this post was published on the X network:
It reveals that it should be the director Todd Phillips, who is behind films like Joker or Hangover. The post also reveals the interior of the house.
Indeed, he was selling it in 2021, as the website realtor.com wrote.
Benny Blanco was wrapping up his life in New York last year and was selling his Manhattan apartment in an interesting boho style. It was available for 3.75 million dollars. The airy bright apartment, equipped with natural materials and pure elegance, perfectly reflected his personality. The interior was in light, beige, black and white colors. Orange and red accessories broke up the neutrality. It wasn't exactly a purely modern affair, but a very successful combination of cleanliness and simplicity and his own ideas.
Just last year in February, Selena Gomez showed off her house, once the home of music legend Tom Petty. The 4.5 million dollar house was expansive in both land and living space. Seclusion, peace, and nature. The grand three-story building doesn't much resemble the current dwelling of the lovebirds. Privacy will also be significantly less in Beverly Hills.
But the location is certainly very attractive.
Selena Gomez is then at the beginning of a new life. Maybe her original plans will change too. As she once revealed, if she didn't meet anyone suitable, she wanted to adopt a child at 35. And when she least expected it, after five years of solitude, she met love…
In March, their joint album called Said I Love You First will see the light of the day. The announcement was made on Valentine's Day and Selena also introduced the first single from the album called Scared of Loving You.
Interestingly, the album was recorded in her fiancé's house, also in Los Angeles. So now they will be moving to a new one.
