Benny Blanco’s comment on Selena Gomez’s post.

His first photo with Gomez was just a back shot of her at a gallery:

Gomez revealed last week that the couple had been dating for six months prior to going public. During Rare Beauty’s launch event for its Find Comfort Body Collection, the singer alluded to the fact that she was on a social media break when asked about the collection’s name.

“I think it’s important to take a moment out of your day to find comfort,” she said. “That can be in friends, a phone call, or a moment to yourself or taking a break from social media,” she added with a knowing look. “And I think that stuff is really important to do for yourself so it just made sense. I wanted it to feel like you can find comfort in these products.”

As for how she finds comfort, she added, “It just depends, honestly. Sometimes I like to be around people; other times, I don’t and I’ll enjoy moments to myself, and I love fireplaces and cozy things and nature. I find all of that really comforting.”
