Taking to Instagram to comment on a post captioned ‘Selena Gomez Is Rumoured to Be Dating Producer Benny Blanco’, Gomez wrote ‘Facts,’ before proceeding to defend Blanco in the comment section of the post on Instagram.

To somebody who commented on how ‘unhandsome’ Blanco is, Gomez responded by saying that she felt bad for the person commenting. She appeared to write to one fan, ‘He has treated me better than any human being on this planet.’ In another, she shared: ‘He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.’

The ‘Can’t Keep My Hands To Myself’ singer, who has previously dated Justin Bieber and Zayn Malik, later posted an Instagram story of her cuddling up with a man and another of a ‘B’ diamond ring on her wedding finger.

In December 2023, a source told Entertainment Tonight, that the pair had become committed ‘recently.’

‘Selena and Benny have been casually seeing each other for a while, and more recently, it became more official. Things have been going really well between them, and Selena is happy,’ the source said. ‘She thinks Benny is very funny and, of course, extremely talented. Selena is in a great place in her life and feels content and relaxed. She is enjoying where things are going.’

Blanco became friends with Gomez’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber in 2009, a year before Bieber and Gomez started dating for the first time. He’s collaborated with Bieber and Gomez’s other ex-boyfriend The Weeknd, and has also worked with Gomez, too. He produced her 2015 songs ‘Same Old Love’ and ‘Kill ‘Em With Kindess’ and her latest single, ‘Single Soon’, which she released in August 2023.

She is just focusing on what’s best for her right now and has been very in tune with maintaining her own boundaries. Her friends and family support her and just want her to be happy.’
