Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are expressing their affection from a distance.
This Wednesday, the celebrated singer and actress shared an image of a lovely handwritten note she received from her partner, marking a noteworthy moment.
"Happy first virtual date! - Benny," the card's message read, featuring a hand-drawn flower on its flip side, likely crafted by Blanco, aged 36.
"Long distance relationship vibes," Gomez, aged 31, commented with a hashtag, showcasing the note on her Instagram Story. Gomez appeared to confirm her relationship with the producer Blanco by liking several posts about them dating in December 2023. She even commented, “Facts,” under a PopFaction post that stated, “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship.”
"He is absolutely everything in my heart," stated the Only Murders in the Building star in another remark, later responding to a fan with, "Then explain why he has been the best thing to ever happen to me. The end." As the new year kicked off, the duo demonstrated the strength of their relationship by appearing together at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards. In a picture Gomez posted to her Instagram Story, she is seen kissing Blanco while clutching his neck. "I won," was the caption she chose.
Though their relationship was only made public in recent times, Gomez and Blanco have been acquaintances for years, having collaborated on Gomez's 2019 hit English-Spanish track with J Balvin, "I Can't Get Enough."
During a February conversation on Apple Music 1's New Music Daily with host Zane Lowe, where she was promoting her single "Love On," Gomez shared insights into her relationship with Blanco.
"Without delving too much into specifics, I believe it's fundamentally crucial to find someone who respects you," she mentioned at the time. "It's equally beneficial to have someone who comprehends the nature of my environment. But, overall, I'd say this is the most secure I've ever felt, which is truly wonderful, and I've only evolved from it, so it's fantastic."
In a sweet gesture for her boyfriend's birthday earlier in the month, Gomez posted a heartfelt tribute to Blanco on Instagram.
"Happy birthday darling! Your resilience, optimistic outlook, incredible talent (which never ceases to amaze me), unmistakable sense of humor, and warm, generous heart completely overwhelm me," she wrote alongside a collage of photos and videos. "I love you @itsbennyblanco."
