Selena Gomez expressed her gratitude for her relationship with boyfriend Benny Blanco. The 31-year-old star of Only Murders in the Building posted a sweet photo with Blanco, who is 36, on her Instagram Story on Thursday, May 9. This happened shortly after her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, revealed that they were expecting their first baby.

The photo showed Gomez and Blanco holding hands and cuddling under a blanket. Gomez wore a chunky spiral ring on her pointer finger. The photo was sandwiched between promotional shots of Thursday’s episode of Selena + Chef, where she puts her spin on Texas barbecue.

Gomez also posted a photo of her and Blanco posing with a group, which included her Only Murders costars Martin Short and Steve Martin.

Gomez has not commented on the Bieber family's baby news, but she has previously made it clear that she has no issues with Hailey, who is 27 years old. In the past, Gomez dated the singer of "Peaches," who is now 30, on and off from 2010 to 2018. Meanwhile, Hailey and Justin first became romantically involved in 2015 and had an on-and-off relationship until their engagement in 2018, followed by their marriage in September of that year.

Despite rumors of a feud between the two women circulating for years, both Hailey and Gomez have addressed and even defended each other after fans continued to spread the false rumors.

Hailey Bieber contacted me to share that she has been getting death threats and facing a lot of hateful comments. In March 2023, I posted on Instagram expressing my support, stating that nobody deserves to be treated with such negativity.

Moving forward to June of the same year, Hailey spoke out about her frustration with the ongoing feud rumors in an interview on Bloomberg's "The Circuit With Emily Chang."

"I don’t believe this is a matter concerning me, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez. It's not about creating conflict or division between these two women," stated the Rhode founder. "It's more about the cruel, disgusting hatred that stems from completely false and distorted stories."

She continued, "It's frustrating to continually address that there is no issue or conflict. It's disheartening that people still act this way, especially over a man. Sadly, this is the reality of the world we live in."
