Selena Gomez has officially confirmed her romantic relationship with record producer Benny Blanco. The revelation came after an Instagram fan account shared a cozy image of the couple on Thursday, prompting Gomez to respond with a series of affirmative comments expressing her deep affection for Blanco.
In one of her comments, Gomez declared: “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” while another simple yet emphatic statement read, “LOVE.” The confirmation solidifies the romantic connection between the “Only Murders in the Building” actress and Blanco, the accomplished record producer.
Gomez and Blanco have recently collaborated on Gomez’s latest hit, “Single Soon.” Their musical partnership extends back to 2019 when they worked together on the track “I Can’t Get Enough.”

Blanco made a memorable appearance in the music video for the song, donning a teddy bear costume.
An Instagram post on Gomez’s account further underscored Blanco’s presence at her birthday celebrations in July this year, adding another layer to their close relationship.
However, not all reactions to the news have been positive, prompting Gomez to address detractors.
In response to a critical comment, the 31-year-old artist defended Blanco and asserted her independence, stating, “I don’t understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don’t feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in (m)y life at all.”
Some fans speculated about potential tensions between Blanco and Gomez based on a 2020 interview where Blanco discussed his collaboration with Justin Bieber on “Lonely.”
In the interview, Blanco made comments perceived by fans as a dig at Gomez’s cosmetic brand, Rare Beauty. Gomez, however, dismissed such speculation, affirming her happiness with Blanco and stating, “lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with.
Facts.” To another fan, she wrote, “then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end.”
