David Henrie, who performs Gomez’s Wizards of Waverly Place brother Justin, shares his expertise of their double date.
Many, like myself, could have jumped to the Solely Murders within the Constructing conclusion that it was Meryl Streep and Martin Quick’s persevering with relationship filling out this foursome. As a substitute, the opposite duo within the double date with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco had been David Henrie and his spouse, Maria Cahill. He recounted the enjoyable night time to Folks when the publication visited the Wizards Past Waverly Place set. As well as, he additionally famous what a gourmand Blanco is, by saying:
We went on a double date not too way back and along with her and Benny, and that was enjoyable. There was wine. There was good wine. Benny is aware of his wine, and he is aware of meals, and we had a good time.
The quartet’s outing appears like a superb time. Admittedly, I’m simply happy, particularly if good meals, wine, and associates are concerned. (Blanco shared a YouTube present with Matty Matheson).

So, the double date seemingly should’ve additionally meant rather a lot whereas highlighting Blanco’s supportive nature towards a companion.
All in all, the double date night time appears like the proper place to put the groundwork for higher friendships throughout. Although, it does make me marvel if Blanco held on the set of OMITB. Can we count on him to pop in on the set of the principally nice Wizards Past Waverly Place? This Selena Gomez fan hopes so, particularly if the music producer and Henrie develop into higher buds.
