Selena Gomez delighted her fans on Wednesday by sharing a heartwarming photo with her boyfriend, record producer Benny Blanco.

The Only Murders in the Building star, 31, posted the black-and-white snapshot on her Instagram Stories, showing Blanco, 36, tenderly kissing her on the temple.

Selena’s smile radiated joy as she closed her eyes, clearly savoring the affectionate moment.

The photo, adorned with a simple white-heart emoji, captured a sweet and candid glimpse into their loving relationship.

This touching image comes on the heels of Benny Blanco’s recent revelations about his future with Selena. The record producer expressed his desire to marry Selena and start a family, highlighting their deep connection. In an interview with Howard Stern, Blanco shared that he had already bought some meaningful gifts for Selena to celebrate their first anniversary, which coincides with her July 22nd birthday.

Blanco humorously acknowledged Stern’s prediction of marriage, saying, “You and me both… I gotta get my act together!” He also discussed his love for children and his aspirations to have kids with Selena. “That’s like my next goal on the box. I have a lot of godkids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. It’s my thing, I love being around kids!” he exclaimed.

Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez’s relationship blossomed from their long-standing professional collaboration. Blanco, an 11-time Grammy nominee, co-wrote and produced Selena’s 2023 hit song “Single Soon” which reached No. 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Their partnership, however, dates back to 2015 when they worked on Selena’s second studio album Revival.

Blanco fondly recalled their first date, which he initially didn’t realize was a date. “It was so crazy. When we went out on our first date, I didn’t even know it was a date,” he admitted. Selena had humorously remarked, “Well, I would have worn something different for this date,” to which Blanco responded in surprise, “What?! We’re on a date?!”

Their relationship officially became public in December 2023 when Selena commented on a fan page’s post, revealing they had been dating for six months.

Blanco frequently shares his admiration for Selena, describing her as “the coolest, the nicest, the sweetest, like, everything.” He added, “She’s truly just like my best friend. We laugh all f***ing day. She inspires me.”

One of the most romantic gestures from Blanco was renting a movie theater on Valentine’s Day to screen Selena’s favorite film, Almost Famous. He also ensured all her favorite snacks were available, including fried pickles, Taco Bell, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and nachos.

Their relationship is not only cherished by them but also by Selena’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars, Steve Martin and Martin Short. Blanco expressed his admiration for the legendary actors, calling them “genius-level brilliant.”

Selena Gomez continues to balance her thriving career with her personal life. She reportedly earns over $600,000 per episode for her role as Mabel Mora in Only Murders in the Building, with the highly anticipated fourth season set to premiere on August 27 on Hulu. Besides acting, Selena executive produces and hosts Selena + Restaurant, a spin-off series airing on the Food Network, where she explores some of Los Angeles’ hottest restaurants.

Benny Blanco, on his part, is making waves with his cookbook Open Wide, which has secured the No. 6 spot on the New York Times’ list of bestselling advice, how-to, and miscellaneous books. His success in both the music and culinary worlds showcases his diverse talents and passion for creativity.

Selena’s post with Benny came shortly after her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey announced their pregnancy. While Selena did not directly address the news, she subtly shared a black-and-white photo of herself and Benny holding hands, bundled up in blankets, showing solidarity and affection amid the headlines.

Selena and Justin’s on-and-off relationship spanned eight years, ending definitively in May 2018. Shortly after, Justin rekindled his romance with Hailey, and they married in September 2018. Despite the past, Selena’s current relationship with Benny Blanco seems to be filled with joy, mutual respect, and a hopeful future.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship continues to flourish, with both stars openly expressing their love and admiration for each other. As they look forward to celebrating their first anniversary, fans eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this dynamic duo. Whether it’s marriage, children, or more collaborative projects, Selena and Benny’s journey together promises to be filled with love, laughter, and endless inspiration.
