Selena Gomez and producer Benny Blanco revealed their relationship in December 2023, and were perhaps dating for several months before that. According to a source speaking with Entertainment Tonight, they’re still going strong this spring, and the new relationship has supposedly been revelatory for Gomez. And her family is on board, too.

The source claimed that the singer’s “friends and family love Benny [Blanco] and his loved ones feel the same about her.”

They continued, “Everyone can see that they have a loving relationship and both sides couldn’t be more encouraging,” adding that Gomez and Blanco “have gotten very serious” in the last few months.

“Selena trusts him more than any other past romantic partner in her life,” the source said. “They are very respectful of one another and their relationship is growing in positive ways.”

The couple apparently feels “like they bring the best out of each other and make an effort to be communicative, honest, and supportive of each other.”

“They speak their minds, appreciate each other’s art, and lift each other up,” the source explained. “They both see a positive future together and have a desire to continue to move forward and have their relationship thrive.”

In February, Gomez shared a bit more about her budding relationship in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily.

“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone who respects you,” Gomez said. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But 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.”
