Selena Gomez Shares New Pictures With Boyfriend Benny Blanco

On Wednesday, December 27, Selena Gomez shared some shots on her Instagram Stories showing how she was spending the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve: with her boyfriend, producer Benny Blanco. The couple went on an excursion to an art exhibit filled with pink walls and mirrors and she took advantage of the reflections to take some selfies.

In the first photo Gomez shared, she and Blanco are reflected in the ceiling multiple times and he has his arms wrapped around her, leaning into her face as she smiles into her camera’s phone.

There’s another picture of Blanco standing alone in front of a similarly constructed wall. It looks like Blanco is even wearing an outfit in different shades of pink to match the exhibit.

The couple has only recently come out with their relationship, though they have supposedly been dating for several months. He was at her birthday in July and helped her work on her song “Single Soon,” which was released in August. On December 7, she responded to a fan account with comments about their relationship.

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in the comments of an Instagram post. “[he is] the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end.”

She added, “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts….this is my happiest.”

Before Gomez came out with her relationship, she talked in more vague terms with Vogue México y Latinoamérica about who she was searching for.

“Honestly, I have to start being attracted to the right kind of people, because it’s a bit of both,” she said about the challenges of dating. “It’s very hard to find someone who can listen to you and care about you, but I know when it happens it will be great and you will want it to be healthy.”
