Selena Gomez’s romance with music producer Benny Blanco is getting more intense. The 31-year-old singer, known for her hit “Lose You To Love Me,” has been openly displaying affection towards her 35-year-old beau. She has taken to Instagram, sharing pictures of the two together with her extensive following of 429 million users. In one recent Instagram Story, Blanco can be seen lovingly wrapping his arms around Selena from behind, planting a kiss on her neck. Selena, wearing a casual black top, looks radiant as she smiles in a throwback photo shared on Instagram this week, reflecting on her year.
Blanco, on his part, is wearing a vibrant sweatshirt adorned with an array of orange, white, green, and blue floral patterns. He also sports two bracelets on his left wrist.
The popular singer, Lose You to Love Me, also shared an adorable photo of herself holding one of her friends’ newborn babies.
Selena’s connection with Blanco dates back to her past relationship with Justin Bieber, as they have been acquaintances for several years.
The Peaches singer and the record producer crossed paths in 2009, a year before Selena, known for her role in Wizards of Waverly Place, started dating Justin Bieber.
Blanco and Gomez had a successful collaboration on several tracks, including Same Old Love and Kill ‘Em With Kindness in 2015, as well as Trust Nobody with Cashmere Cat in 2017. Blanco even made an appearance in their music video alongside J Balvin and Tainy, wearing a teddy bear costume.
In July, just before her 31st birthday, Selena blogged about her single status. Blanco attended her birthday party, and The Heart Wants What It Wants singer shared pictures of him with her fans.
Blanco took on the role of producer for Selena’s next single, Single Soon, which was released the following month.
In a recent interview on Sirius XM’s Hits 1 LA, the question of whether or not she is high maintenance was posed to her. In response, she expressed that she simply has standards. She went on to explain that in our society, there is often a misconception that having high standards equates to being high maintenance, but she firmly believes that the two are entirely distinct concepts.
“You know what, man, being cool is essential,” Selena emphasized. But it’s not about conforming to society’s definition of coolness. It’s about being courteous, making me laugh, and treating my loved ones and everyone else with respect.”
Blanco showed his support for Gomez’s Rare Beauty line last fall, and she expressed admiration for his cookbook, declaring him as one of her favorites.
Just recently, she gave a thumbs up to a post on a gossip site titled “Selena Gomez Appears to Confirm Her Relationship Status” and added her seal of approval with a comment that shouted “Absolutely true!”
On that very day, she shared a captivating Instagram Story snapshot showcasing a glimmering engagement ring adorned on her finger, revealing in a separate comment that she and Blanco had been in a romantic relationship for half a year.
According to a source who spoke with Entertainment Tonight on December 7, Selena and Benny have been casually dating for quite some time, but recently their connection has become more serious and committed.
The insider revealed that their relationship is going smoothly and Selena couldn’t be happier. She finds Benny to be incredibly funny and, of course, highly talented. Selena is content and satisfied with where she is in her life right now and feels at ease. The progress of their relationship has brought her immense joy.
Since that time, they have taken the initiative to make their Instagram profiles public, where Blanco has been leaving playful and charming comments on Selena’s photos. Additionally, Selena has been openly sharing glimpses of their relationship with her followers on the platform.
