LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Selena Gomez has found solace in her relationship with Benny Blanco. Despite the duo being together for less than a year, a source claimed that the singer believed Blanco is "the one."

Selena Gomez says Benny Blanco 'is still better than anyone' she has been with

In December 2023, Gomez and her music producer boyfriend confirmed they had already been dating for "six months," according to OK Magazine.

Blanco has previously collaborated on Gomez's 'I Can't Get Enough' song in 2019.

While netizens expressed concerns about their romance, notably Blanco's past association with Gomez's ex Justin Bieber, the singer brushed off the negativity, asserting in a reply to a fan, "Lol yeah and he's still better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts."

During her appearance on Apple Music 1's New Music Daily in February, the 'Calm Down' singer spoke about her relationship with Blanco.

"Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone who respects you," said Gomez.

"I think it's really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in."

"I'd have to say overall it's the safest that I feel and it's been really lovely and I've only grown through it, so it's awesome," she added.

Selena Gomez 'feels confident and comfortable' with Benny Blanco

Sources reveal that Blanco has played a pivotal role in boosting Gomez's self-esteem.

Referring to the singer's struggle with mental health and also lupus, the source said, "Selena is in a much better place now."

"Even though she’s gained weight and is curvier than she used to be, Selena feels confident and comfortable — and she refuses to hide her body," the insider said of her illness and medication's effect on her body.

"She's no longer hung up on what other people think about her. When she was younger, Selena felt like a prisoner to people’s opinions" when she would go through online comments about herself.

The actress' family approves of her relationship with the record producer, according to another insider who shared that her family noted the positive impact he has had on her well-being.

"Selena hasn’t been this happy with someone she’s dated in a really long time. They make an adorable couple," said the source.
