Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have taken their relationship to the next level. Gomez, 31, wrote on Instagram in a post uploaded in the early hours of Friday, December 15, "New York, my favorite moments with you this week." The carousel featured various pictures with friends, but the last photo showed the singer and Blanco, 35, sharing a kiss.

Gomez was pictured in a black-and-white photograph, wearing a "B" ring for her significant other and running her hand through Blanco's hair as they shared a kiss. The Only Murders in the Building actress looked content with her eyes closed, fully engaged in the PDA moment. Earlier this month, Gomez confirmed her relationship with Blanco in a now-deleted series of Instagram comments.

On December 8, she responded to skeptical fans by writing, "He is everything to me, the best thing that's ever happened to me. He's still better than anyone I've been with. Facts." Since then, she has offered followers insight into their romance, even revealing in a comment that they've been together for six months. The kissing photo on Friday marks a major milestone in Gomez and Blanco's relationship, also known as Benjamin Levin.
