In the comments section, she responded with a simple message, “Facts,” before sharing a black and white selfie on her Instagram Story that showed her leaning against what appeared to be Blanco’s chest.
Gomez also noted that she has her music saying, “I do feel like I have one more album in me but I would probably choose acting,” when asked about her two passions on the latest episode of the SmartLess podcast.
She added, “I am going to want to chill because I’m tired. I wanted to be an actress, I never really intended on being a singer full-time but apparently that hobby turned into something else.”

“The older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on,” she said.
