Benny Blanco, who always offered support to his wife Selena Gomez during difficult times, opened up about the struggles of bipolar disorder.

On their debut episode of Friends Keep Secrets, the 37-year-old asked the songstress about her experience with being BPD before being diagnosed.

The People You Know hitmaker revealed that despite not knowing the root cause before diagnosis, she admitted feeling “something was wrong.”

Benny added that her wife would have moments of “maniac” and doesn’t know. The record producer revealed that Selena would realise it after sometime or “doesn’t event remember” it.

According to the Only Murders in The Building star, she felt like “people were just assuming” and went on to try “multiple therapists.”

The pop icon highlighted that suffering from the condition is “very hard” and “f**king complicated.” 

However, she was of the opinion that one cannot give up and have to “find these things.”

To get a proper diagnosis and professional help, Selena had to visit “four different rehabs” which helped her “understand it.”

However, her husband always stands by her side as Benny confirmed the episodes to be a “delicate” time, avoiding talking about it while “they are deep in it.”

Selena nodded being hyper vigilant and acknowledged how “helpful it is to have a partner that will understand where maybe the temperature is at.”

Did Selena Gomez kiss Benny Blanco's feet?

Elsewhere in the same interview, the Calm Down crooner decided to kiss her husband’s feet after he was called out for keeping them dirty and dusty.
