During a May interview on The Howard Stern Show, Howard Stern asked Benny if he planned to propose to Selena.
“I take everything a day at a time,” he replied. “I just know that when I look at her, I just say, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’ That’s what I always say to her.”
He also revealed he wants to have kids.
“That’s my next goal, to check the box,” Benny told Stern while discussing whether he wanted to have kids. “I have a ton of godkids; I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.”
