Looks like Selena Gomez has a new man in her life.
The singer seemingly confirmed her romance with producer Benny Blanco as she liked a series of posts about them dating. Under one post of PopFaction’s post that reads, “Selena Gomez seemingly confirms she’s in a relationship,” Gomez simply commented “Facts.”
“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in one comment, before replying to one fan: “why then he was the best thing that ever happened to me. The end.” She then shared a selfie of the two of them on her own Instagram Story.
Despite just going public with their relationship, the two have actually known each other for several years, previously working on the 2019 English-Spanish hit “I Can’t Get Enough”.
In fact, Blanco has teamed up with a number of A-list acts over the years, from Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. Here’s everything you need to know about Gomez’s new man.

He is a Pisces
Blanco was born on March 8, 1988 in Reston, Virginia, which makes him a Pisces. This is certainly very much in line with Blanco’s career as Pisces are very musically inclined.
He is a producer
After co-producing and co-writing a string of hit singles in the late 2000s, Blanco made a big name for himself in the music industry.
He is also an artist in his own right, releasing his debut single as a lead artist titled “Eastside” in 2018 alongside Halsey and Khalid.
He collaborated with some great artists
Blanco has worked with some A-list artists over the years, some of the most famous being Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Kesha, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kanye West as well as two of Gomez’s exes, The Weeknd and Justin Bieber.
He is the winner of significant awards
Besides working with some big names, Blanco has also won some big awards. In 2013, he received the 2013 Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2017 he won the iHeartRadio Producer of the Year Award. He has also won the BMI Songwriter of the Year Award five times.
He founded two labels
In collaboration with Interscope Records, Levin founded two record labels, Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets.

In December 2023, Gomez seemingly confirmed their relationship as she liked a series of posts about them dating. She then shared a selfie of the two on her own Instagram Story.

She told another user: “lol yes and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”
