Everyone thought Selena was busy spending the holidays cooking with her favorite chefs.
Surprise, surprise! She just dropped the bombshell that she’s been in a relationship for the past six months. And to top it off, she spent the holidays cozying up with her boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
Gomez sent the internet abuzz after months of speculation as to whom she might be dating and finally, we were put to rest with our guesses after her two Instagram interactions, HeTexted.com reports.
It all started on December 4, after the Instagram page Popfactons posted about her being not single anymore “#SelenaGomez seemingly confirms that she is in a relationship” the post read.
Then the singer replied three days later with only one word ‘Facts’.
However, Selena did not stop surfing online and leaving comments here and there for all to see that she won’t be ‘Single Soon’.

The last one that she dropped was a response to a comment that read, “You’re just corny omg that man was shading you years ago”.
Gomez wrote: “Lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”
And on top of all this, the singer wanted to let everyone know that ‘he is her absolute everything.’
The Internet is mad at Selena!
In a previous chit-chat with Zach Sang, Benny, who coincidentally pals around with Selena’s ex, Justin Bieber, dropped a bombshell about those “cookie-cutter pop artists” that got some folks all riled up.
He spilled the tea, saying, “Justin is not like those cookie-cutter pop artists. You know, the ones who say, ‘This is my new single, and here’s my makeup line.’ Justin is more like, ‘Hey, I have a pimple and I’m feeling anxious today.'”
And wouldn’t you know it, this all went down right when Selena had just unleashed her makeup line, Rare Beauty? This is reason number one! Was it timing or just coincidence?!
Gomez’s fans just can’t seem to handle the fact that Blanco doesn’t meet their high standards of attractiveness to be dating their beloved star.
This relationship with Selena and Blanco was a hard launch that’s why many are hoping that this whole thing is just a clever marketing ploy for a new album.
Blanco couldn’t resist attending Rare Beauty’s charity benefit on October 4, despite his earlier remarks.

This fueled the rumor mill, making everyone wonder if they were more than just acquaintances.
And when a fan account suggested that Gomez was playing games with her fans by flaunting her new romance, she didn’t back down.
“Never trolling. I’m leaving Insta for a while until I have work again. I just stand up for what I believe in I have no shame in doing that. I love my fans more than anything in the world,” Gomez wrote.
While fans in the comments were going back and forth expressing how everyone felt about Selena’s new romance another thing was brought up.
The war between Palestine and Israel. People are mad that Gomez took the time to reply and make comments about her boyfriend but not about the war.
This is not the first time fans have said things to the singer as she has not taken anyone’s side in the war and announced her break from social media not long ago.
So yeah they were sad and disappointed in her for not using her platform to raise awareness for the war.

Let’s leave all the negative things behind and also mention that many are happy that she finally found someone who makes Selena feel happy too.
Before disappearing from Instagram once again the singer posted a few photos with Benny Blanco and an Insta story wearing a ring with the initial B.
Who is Benny Blanco?
He’s not just an entrepreneur, but also a badass songwriter, producer, and musician who knows how to work his magic in the studio.
He’s got a long list of hits under his belt, thanks to his collaboration with big shots like Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and the list goes on.
With his talent, he’s responsible for selling millions and millions of albums. Blanco is currently collaborating with Gomez on the release of the new single ‘Single Soon’!
