8. He and Bella Met at Coachella
“Our journey together began nearly two years ago in Palm Springs,” Benjamin told Icon magazine in Italian in 2021. “We met at Coachella, and I immediately knew she was different from all the other women I met in my life. With Bella mixing private and work has become simple, we are accomplices at 360 degrees: it was she who asked me to participate in the video clip of ‘Finché le Stelle non Brillano’ [‘Until the Stars Shine’], which gave me immense pleasure as she was the inspiring muse of the song.”
In April 2020, Benjamin paid tribute to Bella on their one-year dating anniversary, writing on Instagram, “About one year ago, out of the blue you landed like a UFO alien in my very normal Italian popstar life and f****d up all the plans I had for a outrageous Coachella weekend and summer in Ibiza and Mykonos. Safe to say this was no doubt the best thing that ever happened in my life, I’m forever grateful to you my beautiful little girl, god bless the moment I put aside my shyness to randomly text you and say ‘let’s hang out.'”
He continued, “Thank you for being yourself no matter what and teaching me the meaning of love and life: you are the smartest, funniest, sexiest, craziest and cutest creature that ever walked planet earth. I miss you so much, you deserve all the love and flowers my heart and bank account can afford. BTW I’m writing so many songs about you, one ballad after the other I am now to softest [sic] and most romantic b*tch ever and I’m proud to embrace it. When I’m back in LA I’m gonna serenade you to the point you will kick me out of your crib. You might have to call the police or I will continue on the sidewalk singing, shouting and sweating under the sun like Bruce Springsteen on stage after a 3 hours long concert, and that’s because the neighbourhood and all the entire damn world needs to know how much I Love you. Ben.”
