By The 31-year-old Selena Gomez will not, in fact, be “Single Soon”! Through an Instagram post from December 4 on PopFactions, the pop sensation officially announced that she is dating 35-year-old record producer Benny Blanco. Selena Gomez responded, “Facts,” to the outlet’s post titled “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship.” Her remark coincides with the recent selfie she posted on her Instagram Story on December 7 with her beau.
The Rare Beauty founder also took to the comments section of the same post to defend her man from haters. After someone called Benny “UNHANDSOME,” Selena was quick to clap back. “Feel bad for you,” she replied, along with a laughing emoji. The 31-year-old gushed over the producer to her fans. “He has treated me better than any human being on this planet,” she swooned, per ELLE. Selena even went as far as to say that Benny is “better than anyone” she has “been with.”
Leading up to the confirmation, PopFaction reported that Selena’s mother, Mandy Teefey, has followed Benny on Instagram. Selena and her man also follow each other’s respective accounts on the social platform. Selena continued to compliment her new love in the comments and noted that he is her “absolute” and “everything in my heart.” Later, the Disney Channel alum stirred a frenzy among fans by declaring that Benny is the “best thing that’s ever happened” to her.
The now-viral selfie was shared via Selena’s Instagram Story that same day and featured her and Benny cuddling together. The “Only Murders in the Building” star, though not shown, leaned on a man wearing an animal-print shirt and diamond bracelet.

Selena previously dated Justin Bieber, 29, off-and-on from 2010 until their final split in 2018. She has also been linked to musician Drew Taggart, Nick Jonas, and The Weeknd, among others.
