Selena Gomez stylishly flaunted her speculated relationship with Benny Blanco.
On Thursday, December 7, the 31-year-old singer took to Instagram to showcase her new jewelry. In the black-and-white photo, she proudly displayed a diamond ring with the letter "B," a subtle nod to Blanco, 35. The ring sparkled on her left hand's ring finger.
The singer of "Lose You to Love Me" shared a photo hours after hinting at her relationship with Blanco. She posted a selfie on her Instagram Story, leaning against the shoulder of a man whose face was not visible in the frame, leading fans to speculate it was Blanco. A fan account later shared a picture of Gomez and Blanco together, with Gomez commenting, "He is my everything in my heart."
On social media, Gomez stood up for her relationship with Blanco, shutting down trolls with responses like, "Then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end," and "He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts." She declared, "If you don’t feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. I’m done. if you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in [my] life at all."

Additionally, Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, follows Blanco on Instagram.
Blanco and Gomez first met in 2015 while working on her songs “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em With Kindness.” They reunited to collaborate on Gomez's latest release, “Single Soon,” which she released in August. Gomez shared on Instagram that the empowering single was written “a while back.”
“At the moment, I'm still working on SG3, but I thought it would be nice to release a catchy little tune I composed some time ago, which is just right for the end of summer. SINGLE SOON. August 25th. Presave it now.,” she wrote at the time.
