A lot of people witnessed one of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's early dates without even realizing it. As part of the Spotify series "Countdown To", Gomez and Blanco filmed conversations about their personal lives and about putting together their joint album, I Said I Love You First. At one point—while driving around in a retro convertible—the engaged couple talked about their "best date ever", which involved wearing disguises so they could have a fun day without anyone recognizing them.
"Definitely our best date ever—well, there’s a lot of things competing," Blanco started. "But when I think of our best date ever is, like, when we were first dating and we were still keeping it super secret, I remember I was like, 'Lets go to the Santa Monica Pier.' And you were like, 'We can’t go to the Santa Monica Pier.' And I was like, 'Well, what if we dress up in disguises?'"
