Selena Gomez, the popular singer and actress, recently took to her Instagram Story on Valentine’s Day to express her deep affection for her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco. In a photo that she shared with her followers, the couple can be seen sitting side by side, playfully sticking their tongues out at the camera. Gomez, who is 31 years old, is resting her head on Blanco’s shoulder, flashing a peace sign, while Blanco, 35, is holding up two fingers to his lips. Above the photo, Gomez wrote the heartfelt caption, “I love you,” accompanied by a white heart emoji.
This sweet declaration of love comes just days after Gomez referred to Blanco as her “bes fwend” and posted intimate photos on Instagram, showcasing their affectionate bond. In one of the PDA-filled pictures, Blanco affectionately kisses Gomez’s shoulder from behind, his arm wrapped around her as he places his hand on her chest. Gomez appears to be smitten by the gesture, as she turns her head towards him with a wide grin. The slideshow also includes two other snapshots of the couple, capturing them cozying up in the kitchen.
Interestingly, Gomez is known for her highly successful cooking show, “Selena + Chef,” which airs on Hulu. On the other hand, Blanco is set to release his debut cookbook in April. With their shared love for food and creativity, this dynamic duo seems to have found a harmonious balance in their personal and professional lives.
Gomez and Blanco’s love story began in the summer of last year, and the “Only Murders in the Building” star revealed their relationship to the public through a series of affectionate Instagram comments in December 2023. During that time, Gomez referred to Blanco as “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her and expressed that he treats her better than anyone else in the world. Since then, the couple has been unapologetically displaying their love for each other on social media, delighting their fans with numerous loved-up photos.
Although Gomez and Blanco have yet to make an official red carpet appearance together, Blanco accompanied Gomez to the 2023 Emmys, where he had the opportunity to meet her “OMITB” co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short. Furthermore, the couple spent the evening of the Golden Globes together in January, although they decided not to walk the carpet. According to a trusted source close to the couple, Gomez feels an immense sense of security and safety in her relationship with Blanco. They describe him as a great communicator who listens to Gomez and treats her with deep respect. Importantly, they emphasize that Blanco’s intentions are pure, as he is not seeking attention or fame.
Selena Gomez’s Valentine’s Day declaration of love for Benny Blanco highlights the genuine and affectionate bond they share. With their similar passions and unwavering support for each other, this power couple continues to captivate their fans and set an example of love and harmony in the entertainment industry.
