Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have a unique connection unlike any other relationship she has had. According to a source in the latest issue of We, Selena has expressed her desire to have Benny by her side from now on, and she is proudly introducing him to everyone in her life.
Gomez, 31, is eager to openly display her affection for Blanco, 35, as told by an insider.
“They initially kept things quiet, but Benny has proven himself completely,” the source explains. “The start of the new year felt like the perfect opportunity to essentially proclaim their love to the world, and that's exactly what Selena is doing.”
Gomez shocked her followers with the revelation in December 2023 that she is romantically involved with Blanco. "He holds a special place in my heart," she expressed in an Instagram comment. "He [has] brought me immense joy. Period. ... He surpasses any previous relationships. True story."
Selena Gomez, alongside Benny Blanco, confirmed that they have been dating for the past six months. Gomez has shared numerous photos of herself and Blanco, whom she has known for years.
Prior to advancing their relationship, Gomez and Blanco worked together on multiple songs, such as “Same Old Love” and “I Can’t Get Enough.” Their latest collaboration was on Gomez’s song “Single Soon,” which was released in August. Another source revealed that their relationship took its time to progress, with Blanco asking Gomez out to dinner and then gradually seeing each other about once a week.
Gomez’s family and friends have also expressed their approval of Blanco. "She loves how Benny treats her; he is very kind and considerate. She has never been with anyone like him," the source adds. "It's been a while since her friends have seen Selena this happy. She is absolutely radiant."
Just a month after making their relationship public on Instagram, the couple made their first public appearance at a Los Angeles Lakers game. Gomez and Blanco were seen getting cozy and the singer laughed when they were shown on the Jumbotron.
