Selena Gomez has been on cloud nine since the debut of her relationship with Benny Blanco – and they have her family’s seal of approval.
“Selena hasn’t been this happy with someone she’s been in a relationship with in a long time,” a source said exclusively We weekly. “Selena and Benny are truly in love and even though she kept most of the people she dated a secret, she couldn’t wait to reveal they were together.”
The insider adds, “Selena’s family absolutely approves of this relationship and they love seeing her so happy and in love.”
Gomez, 31, confirmed her relationship with the music producer, 35, earlier this month in a series of since-deleted Instagram comments.
“He is absolutely my everything in my heart,” the actress said on December 8. “He [has] the best thing that ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”
Gomez also uploaded several adorable photos of the couple to her Instagram Story, where she wore a “B” ring, seemingly referencing Blanco’s first initial.
“She is so proud to be with him and he feels exactly the same,” the insider says Us. “They make a cute couple and they are both doing incredibly well.”
Gomez and Blanco (real name Benjamin Levin) have known each other since 2015 and collaborated on her songs “Same Old Love,” “Kill Em With Kindness,” “I Can’t’ Get Enough” and her most recent song, “Single Soon ”, which fell in August.
Although Blanco has not publicly discussed their budding romance, Gomez noted via Instagram comments earlier this month that they have been together for six months.
“She is all about it and happy to be shouting her love from the rooftop,” a second source said in the latest issue of We weekly. “Selena says he adores her like a princess and she absolutely loves it.”
Prior to her romance with Blanco, Gomez dated people like Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber And The weekend. In January, Us announced the news that Gomez had started watching The Chainsmokers series Drew Taggert. Their casual affair finally ended in March.
Gomez has often been candid about the difficulties of finding love in the spotlight.
“If I can be honest, it’s just so cliché. Everyone is dating everyone,” she told Apple Music’s Beats 1 in January 2020. “It always seems to be in a little bubble and that’s because it’s safe, right? You know, you want someone to understand what you’re going through. You almost want a counterpart to creativity as well, and that’s, you know, interesting and fun.”
