Despite unfavorable opinions about their romance, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are happy together.

According to People magazine, the founder of Rare Beauty is “super happy and present” with the music producer.

“She seems to be really feeling herself at the moment. Maybe that’s Benny or maybe that’s just where she’s at personally and professionally,” the insider continued.

Furthermore, they stated that Selena’s pals are overjoyed to see her happy since they are “very protective of her.”

“Everyone was a fan of hers before Only Murders in the Building, and now everyone is protective of her. With her cast and crew, the feeling is ‘any boyfriend of Selena’s is a boyfriend of ours,’” the source stated.

The Who Says songstress and Benny made their first public appearance as a couple on Wednesday night, when they attended the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat game at Crypto.com Arena.

The Single Soon hitmaker made her relationship with her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber official in December 2023.

Furthermore, she vehemently defended Benny after internet users flocked to the comment section of a fan account, reminding her that he had previously referred to her as a “cookie-cutting artist” on Zach Sang’s podcast in 2020.
