Here’s everything you need to know about Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez’s new boyfriend.
Following both the release of her song Single Soon and pointing out several times that she was single, singer and actress Selena Gomez has confirmed that she is in a relationship with Benny Blanco.
The Rare Beauty founder, who is said to be worth around $800 million, commented, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” in response to an Instagram post confirming her relationship with Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin.
Gomez made clear that Benny is “the best thing that ever happened to me” and that he is “better than anyone I’ve ever been with.” The singer later shared a photo on her Instagram story of her resting her head on what appears to be Benny’s chest.
After being questioned about their romance, Selena responded, “This is my happiest... But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest, then don’t be in [m]y life at all.”
