Selena Gomez confirms she has had a secret relationship with music producer Benny Blanco

Pop diva and actor Selena Gomez has spilled the tea on her not-so-secret relationship with music producer Benny Blanco, who has worked with her ex (Justin Bieber). “The Only Murders in the Building” sensation confirmed the romance via a cute Instagram story.

Here are the facts: Sel sweetly shared an intimate snap of the pair, where both she and Benny can be seen all cozy. The black and white pic shows Selena resting her head on a shoulder. Even though Benny’s face was discreetly cropped out, the snap just shows their unmistakable romance at this point! But that’s not all, this love revelation came shortly after Selena Gomez herself liked and commented on a post by Popfactions. In the Insta post, the account hinted that Sel could’ve found her new relationship, to which she replied “Facts” down in the comments section.

Quickly after, most fans reacted with mixed emotions, as some of them didn’t particularly like this new boyfriend. The reason? Some past comments Benny Blanco made during an interview, where he seemingly called Selena a “cookie-cutter pop star” and praised Justin Bieber for being open about his struggles.

But make no mistake, the “Come and Get It” pop star is not about that negativity, so she fiercely defended her man. That’s right! Selena confirmed the pair had been dating for six months and that he treats her better than anyone ever has. She combated the hate by replying to comments made by fans who weren’t very enthusiastic about the relationship.
