Selena Gomez Got Candid About Her Relationship With Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez is opening up about her love life with Benny Blanco. The singer got candid about their relationship during a Feb. 22 appearance on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily. Speaking to host Zane Lowe, Gomez said that dating the record producer has been “really lovely.”

“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone who respects you,” she began. “I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”

Gomez went public with her and Blanco’s relationship in December 2023 after confirming rumors on Instagram that she was seeing him — and had been for six months. “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote.

Before dating, Gomez and Blanco had previously collaborated on the 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough.” During her recent Apple Music 1 interview, the Wizards of Waverly Place star confessed that she prefers working with people she knows.

Clarifying that she finds it “really fun” when working with new people, Gomez continued, “It’s also important that I stay with my core group because they’re the people that can crack the code with me the best. They’re the ones that can really help me explain what I want to say.”

Gomez & Blanco’s First Valentine’s

Gomez’s new interview, in which she promoted her new single “Love On,” comes shortly after she and Blanco celebrated their first Valentine’s Day together. “I love you,” the singer captioned a selfie of the couple on Instagram.

The pair haven’t shied away from sharing their love life online, and Gomez has also responded to negative fan comments about their relationship.

“Then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end,” she replied to one fan. In another response, she said “he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”
