Selena Gomez has publicly affirmed her connection with Benny Blanco by sharing an intimate snapshot of the two. On Thursday, the 31-year-old singer posted a carousel of pictures on Instagram, capturing moments from her best friend Taylor Swift's 34th birthday celebration. The initial images showcased the group, consisting of Swift, Gomez, and several friends, enjoying themselves with laughter during a getaway in New York.
Nevertheless, the conclusive image in the series appeared to confirm the romantic involvement of the former Disney Channel star with songwriter and producer Benny Blanco.
Have a look at the full post below:
Speculations about the unexpected relationship had been circulating for some time, particularly as their increased interactions on social media became noticeable in the weeks leading up to a significant soft launch.
In the previous week, Gomez utilized her Instagram Stories to share a black-and-white picture of herself leaning against a man's shoulder without offering any explanation. However, keen fans promptly noted the possibility that the man in question could be Blanco, considering their recent social media activities. Not only that but Gomez's mom, Mandy Teefey, also followed Blanco on Instagram, which added more fuel to the fire.
But things really started heating up on December 7 when the Rare Beauty founder liked a post by the celebrity news fan account PopFaction, who posted a carousel alongside the headline Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship, which she commented "facts."
The post contained images and clips of the star, notably one taken from an episode of Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays where she confirmed that she "has a crush on someone."
While some fans were happy for the star, others left some pretty distasteful comments to which Gomez did not hold back when it came to defending her new man.
"I don't comprehend. If you genuinely care about me, this is when I'm at my happiest. Feel free to express your opinions, but I won't let your words dictate my life. Never. I'm done. If you can't accept me at my happiest, then it's best you're not part of my life at all," she retorted.
She also addressed other comments, including one suggesting she take a break and refocus: "Oh sweetheart, I've been in therapy since I was 18. I know what's best for me, and I'll fight until I get what I deserve. I appreciate your well-intentioned input, but I'm growing. Feel free to grow with me, but understand I won't be with a person who doesn't treat me right ever again. Sorry to disappoint."
She also responded to others, asserting that Blanco has allegedly "treated me better than any human being on this planet. He is my absolute everything in my heart."
Fans were evidently unimpressed with Gomez's defense, noting that she shouldn't be arguing with her fans over a man, especially considering her past criticisms of others (cough, Justin Bieber, cough) for posting their relationships online.
Regardless, she appears genuinely happy with Blanco, and that's ultimately what matters.
