Pop Culture– an ever-spinning carousel of who’s who and who’s with whom. And sitting at two ends of the cupid’s bow is none other than Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez. Now, hold your horses before you dive headfirst into the juicy bits; let’s set the stage.
First, Benny Blanco. This guy’s a maestro behind the scenes. Picture a puppeteer, but instead of strings, it’s beats and melodies. Benny’s not just any old producer; he’s the hit beat-maker behind hits you’ve definitely bopped your head to.
Now, Selena Gomez. Unless you’ve been living under a rock – and no judgment if you have, rocks can be cozy – you know Selena. Actress, singer, and, let’s be honest, a staple in pop culture cuisine. From teenage wizard to chart-topping artist, she’s done it all. But here’s where it gets spicy.
On December 7, 2023, Selena Gomez (31) posted an image leaning on a man who’s widely believed to be Benny Blanco (35) and confirmed their relationship.
Amidst this, a video of Blanco’s interview with Zach Sang Show has resurfaced, where he apparently made sarky remarks about someone, calling her a “cookie-cutter pop artist with a makeup line.” Fans inferred that he must be talking about Gomez since he had just released a collab with Justin Bieber, Selena’s ex.
Throwing Shade Before Love: Benny Blanco’s Views on Selena Gomez’s Pop Stardom
Well, buckle up because this rollercoaster has some twists. In late October 2020, Benny appeared on the Zack Sang Show and threw what many perceived as shade at Selena, mentioning her ex, Justin Bieber. His words?
“Justin’s not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists,” he said, “Justin’s like, ‘Yo. I have a pimple, and I have anxiety today.’ He’s always been upfront about that stuff.” Now, was this a dig at Selena? Or just a casual observation? The jury’s still out.
Who Is Benny Blanco? Selena’s New Relationship Explored
Blanco, born on March 8, 1988, is the songsmith behind the most popular songs of this era.
If Ke$ha’s TikTok and Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream were your jam, then Blanco was the one pulling your heartstrings.
But the strings of destiny between Selena and Blanco date back to 2015, when he produced her hits, “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em’ With Kindness.” Two years later, the two collaborated again with Cashmere Cat for “Trust Nobody.”
But the peak of their collab sent waves worldwide with the hit single “I Can’t Get Enough,” featuring J.Balvin and Tainy.
Rumors of romance started buzzing when fans noticed their social media interactions. A cutesy note: Gomez’s mom is following Benny on Instagram, and Blanco is attending Gomez’s 31st birthday bash – the plot thickens! And then, bam! Selena seemingly confirms the romance in December, calling Benny “my absolute everything in my heart.” Talk about a plot twist.
Even after fans pointed out Blanco’s apparent hypocrisy, Gomez stood firm in her decision and assured her fans and trolls, saying –
“He has treated me better than any human being on this planet,” and “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.” Strong words from a woman who’s been in the public eye and heart for years.
But Selena’s not just gushing over her beau.
She’s got sass and self-awareness, too. In response to a commenter’s doubt, she says, “I’ve been in therapy since I was 18. I know what’s best for me… I’m not going to be with a f***boy ever again.” That’s Selena for you – always keeping it real….or maybe not…who cares!
Is this just another chapter in the ever-evolving story of celebrity relationships, or is there more than meets the eye? How does the public’s perception shape the narrative of these stars’ lives?
