She won’t be single any time soon! With the reveal of her new boyfriend, here’s what’s happening with Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship.
Selena has been open about her relationships and her state of being single. “If I can be honest, it is so cliché,” Selena told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in 2020. “It’s just everyone dates everyone. It always seems to be within this little bubble — and it’s because it’s safe.” She continued, “You’re wanting someone to understand what you’re going through, you’re almost wanting a counterpart of creativity as well, and it’s interesting and fun. But the problem with that is you end up, whether you admit it or not, you’re having a relationship for people and not even for yourself.” She added, “There’s almost this point where it’s like, ‘Oh, we’re making it known that we’re together.’ Or whatever it is. You just need to decide within our world if it’s for you or is it for show.”
Though now, she’s been more and more open about her relationship and it’s probably the most iconic hard launch of the year. If you don’t know who Benny Blanco is, he’s an award-winning producer who’s worked on hits like “Bad Decisions” with BTS and Snoop Dog, “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5, and plenty more.
