Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez’s Romance
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez have known each other for years. They worked together in 2019 on the song I Can’t Get Enough. Blanco produced and sang the track alongside Gomez, Tainy, and J. Balvin.
The Single Soon singer seemingly confirmed their romance when she left a comment that said, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.” She also replied to a fan, saying Blanco had been the best thing that had ever happened to her. “The end,” she added, via People.
She even shaded her exes, writing that he was still better than anyone he had ever been with. “Facts,” she continued. For starters, she publicly dated The Weeknd, Nick Jonas, Zedd, and Justin Bieber.

From there, Gomez shared a photo with a man, whose face was cut from the picture, on her Instagram Story, and many believed it was Blanco.
Rumors about Blanco and Gomez dating started last week after fans noticed their interaction on social media. They were also convinced that the note he shared that he claimed was from his “gf” was written by the singer-actress. And the biggest giveaway is that Gomez’s mom, Mady Teefey, has followed Blanco on Instagram recently.
Selena Gomez was last rumored to be dating OneDirection’s former member, Zayn Malik, after they were spotted kissing. Though Gomez has had no known boyfriend since then, it’s probably the right time to make herself happy and have a companion. She deserves all the happiness in the world, and her fans hope that Blanco is the one she’s looking for.
