Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco celebrated a cozy Thanksgiving together, sharing a moment of love and affection that has captured the attention of their fans.
On Thursday, Nov. 28, the 32-year-old actress and singer posted a heartwarming photo on her Instagram Stories, showing her and Blanco enjoying a quiet holiday together. In the image, Blanco, 36, is seen wrapping his arms around Gomez from behind as she sits at the dinner table, smiling brightly. The couple looks relaxed and happy as Blanco affectionately presses his face against her neck. The photo radiates warmth, showcasing a tender moment between the two.
Gomez, known for her hit songs like “Calm Down” and her acclaimed acting career, first sparked rumors of a romance with Blanco in December 2023. At that time, she confirmed they had been dating for six months. She even showed her affection for him publicly by liking fan accounts on Instagram that featured the couple, leaving a comment on one post that read, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”
The couple went Instagram official on Jan. 2, 2024, when Blanco shared a photo of Gomez on his Instagram Stories. They also made their first public appearance together that same month at an NBA game. Since then, they’ve been spotted together at various events, including the Golden Globe Awards and the Emmy Awards, where they were often seen enjoying each other’s company. By April 2024, a source close to the couple told People that the relationship had grown serious, with the couple described as “so in love.”
Blanco, who is a well-known music producer, hinted at his future intentions with Gomez during a May appearance on The Howard Stern Show, where he suggested that he could see marriage in his future with her. Gomez also spoke publicly about their relationship, calling Blanco the “love of my life” during a birthday post she shared on Instagram in July, marking her 32nd birthday.
In a more recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter on Nov. 20, Gomez opened up further about her relationship with Blanco. She spoke candidly about the comfort and security she feels in the relationship, saying, “This is the safest I’ve ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person.” She also discussed the media’s interest in her personal life, noting that by being open about her relationship, it had helped reduce the constant speculation. “When you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,” Gomez explained. “If they hear something, they’re going to, but if you’re like, ‘I did it,’ they’re like, ‘Oh, well there’s you, just going to Sushi Park.’”
Despite their public outings and the occasional social media post, Gomez emphasized that there’s still much about their relationship that remains private. “But there’s so much of my relationship people don’t see, that’s just mine,” she added, reinforcing the idea that she values the intimate, private aspects of their bond.
