Inside Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s double date with David Henrie and his wife

David Henrie is giving fans a peek into a recent night out with his longtime friend Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco. The Wizards Beyond Waverly Place star revealed that he and his wife, Maria Cahill, joined the couple for what he described as a fun and intimate double date.

Speaking to People, Henrie recalled that the group dined on Italian food while enjoying a carefully chosen selection of wine. He admitted that Blanco impressed him with his knowledge of both food and drink, joking that he clearly knows how to make a dinner feel special. Henrie described the evening as relaxed, light-hearted and a perfect chance for him to get to know the music producer better.

Henrie, 36, has a long history with Gomez, 33, dating back to their Disney Channel days when they played siblings on Wizards of Waverly Place. The pair have remained close friends over the years, and now with Blanco in Gomez’s life, Henrie seemed genuinely pleased to spend more time with him. He praised Blanco’s warm personality, saying it was easy to see why Gomez was so happy.

During the same interview, Henrie shared that his wife and Gomez had also bonded over wedding talk. With Gomez and Blanco preparing for their own ceremony, Maria Cahill offered advice from her own experience, which Gomez was eager to hear. Henrie noted that the women swapped stories about planning and discussed the challenges of tailoring a wedding to reflect personal style.

The reunion carried extra significance, as Gomez has returned to the world of Wizards in a special capacity. She and Henrie are both executive producers on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, with Gomez reprising her role as Alex Russo for select episodes. The second season is set to premiere this September, adding to the nostalgia for fans who grew up watching them together.

For Gomez, who announced her engagement to Blanco in December 2024, evenings like this highlight how her personal and professional circles continue to overlap. With close friends like Henrie cheering her on, the lead-up to her wedding looks set to be filled with love, laughter and a little wine expertise.
