Selena Gomez (31) finally has some luck in love again. After relationships with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, she was single for a long time, but that is now a thing of the past. The singer now confirms her new relationship with the well-known music producer Benny Blanco (35). Ooh! The confirmation follows a somewhat vague period full of rumors about her love life.
Selena Gomez confirms new relationship
The news about Selena Gomez and her new relationship comes coincidentally, after rumors started circulating again about her love life. For example, people speculated about a love triangle with the couple Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz. They are often spotted together and Selena also calls them a “throuple” at one point: a couple of three. Although Nicola later tells Cosmopolitan that they are “three best friends”. Something that now seems to be true, because Selena says she is in a relationship with someone completely different.
“My everything”
Via an Instagram account she confirms other rumors about a relationship with music producer Benny Blanco. She does this in a rather special way, namely through the comments on a fan account. There she defends her relationship with Benny, who is under fire in the comments. “He is my everything,” she first responds cutely under a photo of them together. She then responds even further to nasty comments from followers. In it she calls Benny “the best thing that happened to her”. She also says he’s better than anyone she’s ever been with, including Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.

Who is Benny Blanco?
There is a chance that you don’t know who Benny is. So Benny is a music producer and has collaborated with major artists such as Ed Sheeran, Avicii, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Maroon 5 and OneRepublic. He has also collaborated with Selena herself on songs such as Same Old Love and Kill Em. That was in 2015, but this year they worked together again on Selena’s song Single Soon. The two have known each other for a long time. They even met before 2015, because Benny also worked with Selena’s ex Justin and even her other ex The Weeknd.
Then some hassle arises between Benny and Selena’s fans, because he makes mean comments towards Selena. For example, in the period after the break up with Justin, he calls her a “cookie-cutter” pop artist. This has to do with the fact that she is a singer and has a make-up line. But apparently the comments were not very intense, because now Selena seems to have forgiven him. On December 7, 2023, she wrote on Instagram that she and Benny had been dating outside the media for six months. So that’s pretty much since the summer. In the meantime, he also supports her at an event for her make-up line Rare Beauty.
The two are now a happy couple and openly in love, as we also see on Selena’s own Instagram. On her Stories she posts a photo that probably shows Benny, but in a mysterious way. This is followed by a photo of a ring with the letter ‘B’, which provides enough clarity about the previous photo.
