On Thursday, December 7, Gomez, 31, caused a stir on the internet with what appeared to be a low-key introduction of a new romantic interest on her Instagram Story. The singer shared a selfie of herself with a mystery man resting his head on her. In a following story, she wrote, "Just a reminder of how much I appreciate and love each and everyone of you."

In another post speculating about Gomez and Blanco’s relationship status, Gomez reaffirmed the rumors by commenting, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” as reported by Pop Crave.

Gomez defended her relationship with Blanco by responding to fans. "Then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end," she replied to one user. "He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts," she retorted to another.
In response to a third person, Gomez clapped back, saying, "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." This was reported by Pop Crave.
We have contacted Gomez for a comment. Gomez and Blanco, 35, initially met in 2015 when they collaborated on her songs "Same Old Love" and "Kill Em." They worked together again this year on her most recent song "Single Soon." Additionally, Blanco has also worked with Gomez's former boyfriend, Justin Bieber, with whom she had an on-and-off relationship from 2010 to 2018.
Earlier this year, Us broke the news that the Rare Beauty founder was connected to The Chainsmokers frontman Drew Taggart. However, in March, Gomez seemingly joked that she was now rolling solo.
