Selena Gomez, the renowned singer and actress, has recently confirmed her romantic relationship with record producer Benny Blanco. In a surprising move, Gomez not only acknowledged her new love interest but also threw some shade at her past exes. This revelation comes after months of speculation and fan theories about a possible romance between Gomez and Blanco.
The confirmation came on December 7th when Gomez responded to an Instagram post from @popfactions, a popular celebrity gossip account. The post suggested that Gomez and Blanco were dating, to which Gomez simply replied, ‘Facts.’ Following this comment, Gomez shared a photo of herself with a man who appears to be Blanco on her Instagram Stories.
In addition to confirming their relationship, Gomez also defended Blanco against criticism from some of her followers. She expressed her admiration for Blanco by calling him ‘the best thing that’s ever happened to me’ and stating that he is ‘better than anyone I’ve been with.’ Gomez passionately defended their connection, declaring her happiness and asserting that she will not let negative opinions dictate her life.
Their relationship had been a subject of speculation for some time, as observant fans noticed their frequent interactions on social media. Furthermore, Blanco had shared a note claimed to be from his ‘gf,’ which many speculate was written by Gomez herself. The fact that Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, recently started following Blanco on Instagram further fueled rumors about their romantic involvement.
Gomez and Blanco have collaborated professionally in the past, notably on the hit song ‘I Can’t Get Enough’ with J Balvin in 2018. They also attended an event together in October 2023, where Blanco reportedly showed interest in purchasing tickets for Gomez’s upcoming Eras Tour.
Although Gomez’s comments on Instagram strongly suggest a romantic relationship, no further details or statements have been provided to confirm their current status. Fans continue to eagerly watch for any updates on this newfound love connection.
