Benny Blanco has an unusual nickname for Selena Gomez and is sharing the funny reason behind the moniker.
The couple and I Said I Love You First collaborators appeared as guests on the April 30 episode of the Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware podcast where they opened up about the nicknames they have for each other, per People. While Blanco does often shorten his fiancée's name to Sel, there is one name he uses for his phone contact that is a bit more surprising.
"In my phone — because I didn't want anyone to be over my shoulder looking — I made her salami," he revealed, noting that "to this day" he has still not changed her contact name.
For her part, the Rare Beauty founder tends to use more sweet endearments than those of a cured meat variety, choosing names like "babe or love or honey" to refer to her fiancé.
Elsewhere in the chat, the couple shared some new details about their upcoming nuptials, including the one wedding tradition they are considering leaving behind and the "special" plan they want to do instead. Gomez and Blanco also got personal while discussing their very first kiss and how the "Love On" singer was so nervous that she broke out into a rash.
