Selena Gomez has set social media abuzz with speculation about her relationship status after seemingly confirming a six-month romance with producer Benny Blanco, known for his collaborations with her ex, Justin Bieber. The singer and actress engaged with a fan account’s post titled “Selena Gomez Is Rumored to Be Dating Producer Benny Blanco,” responding with comments that appeared to affirm the alleged relationship.
The Instagram interactions included Gomez commenting “facts” on a post from the fan account and passionately defending her rumoured connection with Blanco. Screenshots circulated by fans captured Gomez expressing deep affection, calling Blanco her “absolute everything” and labelling him “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her. In response to critics, she asserted, “He has treated me better than any human being on this planet.”
As social media erupted with speculation, Gomez addressed the frenzy, stating, “If you can’t accept me at my happiest, then don’t be in [my] life at all.” To add to the speculation, she later shared an Instagram Story featuring an intimate picture of herself with a man bearing a striking resemblance to Blanco.
While representatives for Gomez and Blanco have yet to provide comments on the state of their relationship or Gomez’s social media posts, the duo’s collaborative history dates back to 2015, fostering a close friendship. Despite concerns from some fans about Blanco’s past comments on manufactured pop stars, Gomez appears to be embracing this new chapter in her love life.
The mounting evidence supporting the rumoured relationship includes Gomez’s comments on Blanco’s social media posts, her mother following Blanco on Instagram, and Blanco’s attendance at Gomez’s birthday celebration in July. Additionally, Gomez hinted at having a crush in her recent series, “Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays.”
Before her connection with Blanco, Gomez was spotted holding hands with The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart in January. Her previous relationships include a stint with The Weeknd from January to October 2017 and a well-documented on-again, off-again romance with Justin Bieber that spanned eight years, concluding in March 2018, just before Bieber married Hailey Bieber. Blanco was previously linked to actress Elsie Hewitt.
As the rumours continue to swirl, fans eagerly await further developments in Selena Gomez’s love life, intrigued by the connections and dynamics at play within the realm of celebrity relationships.
