Selena Gomez couldn't care less what her fans think about her relationship with Benny Blanco. In her cover story with TIME, Gomez talked about not dating for a while and then her romance came as a surprise.
“I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it,” Gomez said. “A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it.”
“It just happens when you least expect it,” the singer continued about her romance with Benny Blanco.
She then spoke about how some fans can be cruel and disapproving of her relationship but it doesn't bother him either.
“I know what people can do to people I love,” she told the publication. “My own fans, who I adore and feel like have shaped who I am, will say the most hurtful things to me about how I live my life. But he has the strength in him that none of that noise fazes him.”
Gomez continued: “It’s really impressive, and I just cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere any time soon.”
The Emmy nominee said that if she hadn't met Blanco, she already had a plan for how she would become a mom in the future.
“I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone,” Gomez said.
When Gomez announced she was dating the producer, she was met with disapproval from fans which she immediately shut down.
“I don't understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest,” she fired back at a fan in the comments of Pop Crave's X post. “If you don't feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I'm done. If you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in [m]y life at all.”
Back in January, another insider told People that Gomez “can't get enough” of the producer.
“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” Gomez wrote seemingly announcing the relationship by replying to a fan on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Pop Crave's post.
She replied to another fan writing, “Then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end.”
How Do Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Feel About Each Other Now?
Earlier this year, the two have become more serious with one another and they both have been thinking about the future.
“Selena and Benny have been casually seeing each other for a while and more recently, it became more official,” the source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “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.”
“Selena feels very at home and at ease with Benny,” the source told the publication. “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.”
“Benny finds Selena to be brilliant beyond belief,” the source adds. “He thinks she is extremely talented, genuine, sweet and intelligent. He respects everything that she stands for and admires her ability to speak her personal truths and share what she’s gone through with the world.”
