Selena Gomez has given us some good tea in the last month, and no, we’re not talking about that embarrassing gossip moment at this year’s Golden Globes; we’re talking about her new boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco.
This past December, the ‘Calm Down’ singer and businesswoman, made her relationship with Blanco official on social media that read: “my absolute everything in my heart.” Sadly, her fans were livid! Rapidly, negative comments flooded Selena’s posts to the point that she felt the need to defend her new beau in the comments section.
It’s been now confirmed that Selena and Benny have been going out for about six months but have just now made it official. “Selena and Benny have been casually seeing each other for a while, and more recently, it became more official,” a close source said last month.
Despite the hate and the lack of support from her followers, this source claims that “Things have been going really well between them, and Selena is happy. She thinks Benny is very funny and, of course, extremely talented. Selena is in a great place in her life and feels content and relaxed. She is enjoying where things are going.”
So, yes, our Selena is happy and, as her posts suggest, madly in love, despite the many red flags fans have noticed about Blanco, including him dissing Selena in the past… But what do her close friends and family think about the relationship? Are they as happy as Selena, or are they siding up with the fans?
What Does Selena Gomez’ Inner Circle Think About the Relationship?
Well, sorry to disappoint you, but according to an insider to Selena Gomez’s inner circle, her friends and family are very supportive of the relationship and even think this might turn into a very long-lasting one.
“Selena feels very at home and at ease with Benny. Their friends, family, and loved ones on both sides are all supportive and happy to see what they think could be an amazing and long-lasting relationship between the two of them.”
Not only that, the insider also gave us some deets on what the couple thinks of each other! “Benny finds Selena to be brilliant beyond belief. He thinks she is extremely talented, genuine, sweet, and intelligent. He respects everything that she stands for and admires her ability to speak her truths and share what she’s gone through with the world.”
On the other hand, Selena is also all over the moon about her boyfriend: “Selena appreciates Benny’s intellect, overall passion in life, his art, dedication, and values. He’s very respectful and meshes well with everyone in her inner circle.”
So… Yes, it seems Selena is delighted, and all around her are ecstatic as well. I think that if those around you are happy about your partner and feel they’re the right person for you, what the rest of the world (who don’t know you at all) think is not relevant.
