Selena Gomez confirmed her relationship with producer Benny Blanco by liking a post on December 4 from the celebrity news fan account PopFaction. The post had a headline suggesting that Selena Gomez confirmed being in a relationship, and she commented “facts” on December 7.
The post included a clip of Gomez admitting to having a crush during an episode of Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays. She mentioned having a crush a few months ago and expressed happiness. The post also showed screenshots from her Instagram story supporting the release of Blanco’s new cookbook.
However, some fans in the comments were not supportive, calling Blanco “unworthy” of her. In response, Gomez defended her relationship, stating that this is her happiest moment. She made it clear that she won’t let negative comments guide her life and encouraged those who can’t accept her happiness to not be a part of her life.
Selena Gomez responded to critics by expressing that her partner, Benny Blanco, is the best thing that has ever happened to her and has treated her better than anyone else. She emphasized that he is everything to her.
As she continued to address negative comments, a fan account, PopFaction, posted screenshots of her responses and humorously suggested that it seemed like she would be there for a while, turning the situation into a Q&A session for people to ask her questions.
The singer of “Single Soon” responded to critics, expressing sympathy for them and stating that they don’t know her. In one reply, she mentioned being in therapy since the age of 18, asserting that she knows what’s best for her and won’t settle for anything less. She made it clear that she’s focused on personal growth and won’t be with someone who isn’t right for her.
Despite some calling her “corny” for defending Benny Blanco, the two have a history, having previously collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019. In October 2023, Blanco attended Gomez’s Rare Impact Fund Benefit, further fueling speculation about their relationship. Fans had noticed their increased interactions on social media, and some believed Gomez was behind a sweet note Blanco shared on Instagram, especially as her mother started following Blanco on the platform.
