American singer Selena Gomez has opened up about her blossoming relationship with boyfriend Benny Blanco during a recent appearance on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily. Speaking about her latest track ‘Love On,’ Gomez expressed gratitude for the comfort and understanding Blanco brings into her life.
“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” Gomez shared during the interview. “And I think it’s nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
Selena and Blanco’s romance became public in December 2023, although the two have known each other for much longer. Their collaboration dates back to 2019 when they worked on the song “I Can’t Get Enough.”
Reflecting on her creative process and collaborations, Gomez acknowledged her need for a safe environment, stating, “I don’t feel very safe in a lot of rooms.” She emphasized the importance of connecting with others on a personal level and expressed gratitude for her core group of collaborators who understand her vision best.
In addition to discussing her music, Gomez shared snippets of her new music video for ‘Love On’ on social media, showcasing her fashion-forward Parisian looks.
The couple also shared romantic moments over Valentine’s Day, with Gomez expressing her love for Blanco on social media. Blanco reciprocated the affection, posting a heartfelt tribute to Gomez on Twitter.
A source close to the couple revealed to People in January that Gomez has been “super happy and present” since beginning her relationship with Blanco, suggesting that the singer is in a positive personal and professional space.
As fans eagerly await the release of ‘Love On’ and Gomez’s upcoming projects, her relationship with Blanco continues to blossom, bringing joy and inspiration to both their lives.
