Selena Gomez recently took to her Instagram Story to profess her love for her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco, on Valentine’s Day. In a cute photo shared by the singer, the couple can be seen sitting next to each other and playfully sticking their tongues out at the camera. Gomez, 31, is flashing a peace sign while leaning on Blanco’s shoulder, who is holding up two fingers to his lips. The caption above the photo simply reads, “I love you,” accompanied by a white heart.
Public Displays of Affection
This sweet tribute comes just days after Gomez referred to Blanco as her “best friend” and posted Instagram photos showcasing their affectionate relationship. In one particularly PDA-filled photo, Blanco is seen kissing Gomez’s shoulder from behind, wrapping his arm around her, and placing his hand on her chest. Despite the suggestive move, Gomez appears to be enjoying the moment as she is grinning and looking towards him. Additional pictures in the slideshow show the happy couple cuddled up in the kitchen.
Selena Gomez, known for her successful cooking show “Selena + Chef” on Hulu, and Benny Blanco, set to release his debut cookbook in April, make quite the talented duo. The couple first got together last summer and made their relationship public via a string of Instagram comments in December 2023. Gomez expressed that Blanco is “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her and treats her better than anyone else on the planet.
Public Displays of Love
Since debuting their relationship, Gomez and Blanco have not been shy about showing their love for each other. While they have not made a red carpet appearance together, Blanco accompanied Gomez to the 2023 Emmys, where he met her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. The couple also spent the night of the Golden Globes together in January, although they did not walk the red carpet.
Sources close to the couple have revealed that Gomez feels safe and secure with Blanco. Describing him as a great communicator who is honest, open, and respectful towards her, the sources emphasize that Blanco is not seeking attention or fame. Instead, he genuinely cares for Gomez and values their relationship above all else.
