Ice Cube, 56, and Selena Gomez, 32, have recently made headlines after Gomez revealed that Ice Cube was her childhood crush. The singer made this revelation during a conversation with Karol G on Complex’s GOAT Talk. Ice Cube, whose real name is O’Shea Jackson, responded to Gomez’s comments during an interview on the 3’s and Ones podcast, stating, “A lot of ‘em like me, homie.” He also shared that he had his own childhood crushes, including Vanity from Prince’s Vanity 6 group.
Gomez’s crush on Ice Cube stemmed from when she was just 5 years old, as she explained during the conversation with Karol G. She recalled thinking that Ice Cube would protect her, and described him as her first crush based on her childhood memories.
Despite her childhood crush on Ice Cube, Gomez’s romantic life has since taken a different turn, as she is now engaged to fiancé Benny Blanco. Blanco recently shared in an interview that they have not set a wedding date yet, but he already has one celebrity guest confirmed: Ed Sheeran. Blanco expressed his excitement about having Sheeran attend their wedding when they do eventually set a date.
