Selena Gomez confirms relationship with music producer Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez hasn't held back when disclosing her romantic status to her fans. She often cracked jokes about being single and provided a very practical list of qualities in a dream partner back in the day. Now, it seems like the singer has found someone who has ticked off all the boxes on that dream partner list. Selena Gomez has found her soulmate in music producer Benny Blanco. The two recently worked together for her latest song Single Soon. 

Selena Gomez defends Benny Blanco

It all started with a post shared by an Instagram handle, which mentioned that Gomez had "seemingly" confirmed her relationship with Blanco. Things actually got confirmed when the singer herself entered the comments section to respond with the word "Facts." 

A few hours after commenting, she uploaded a picture of herself on her Instagram Stories with a man who seems to be Blanco. Fans eventually shared their thoughts on the whole episode in the post's comments section, and Selena defended her relationship with the producer. The Grammy nominee wrote, "He is my absolute everything in my heart."

Slamming a few users who were criticising Blanco for his looks, Gomez penned, “I don't understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest," she started. "If you don't feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I'm done. if you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in [my] life at all."

Selena Gomez work collaborations with Benny Blanco 

Gomez and Blanco appear to have a long professional history together. 2018 saw them cross paths when they worked together on J Balvin's song I Can't Get Enough. The two collaborated again in 2023 for her single. In October 2023, Blanco allegedly bid on Eras Tour tickets at Selena's inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health.

In the past year, Gomez was briefly connected to Zayn Malik and Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers after they were seen getting cosy in New York City.
