LOS ANGELES, July 24: Selena Gomez has taken her relationship with producer Benny Blanco to new heights, declaring him the “love of my life” in a heartfelt Instagram Story shared on July 22. The post comes after a day of birthday celebrations for the newly 32-year-old pop star.

In the touching photo, Gomez embraces Blanco, who is seen tenderly holding her face and kissing her cheek. The caption, “Love of my life,” reveals the deep affection she feels for him. This was one of several birthday posts from Gomez, who appeared to celebrate her special day at the beach with Blanco and close friends.

Other images from the birthday festivities included Gomez in a yellow babydoll dress against a scenic backdrop of the ocean and palm trees, and a silver charm necklace featuring Blanco’s initial. Blanco’s comment on the necklace, “i got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain,” further highlights their affection.

Gomez and Blanco have been a couple for about a year. Gomez first confirmed their relationship in December, revealing they had been together for six months at that time. Prior to this, Gomez frequently wore a letter “B” ring, a subtle nod to Blanco.

The couple's connection extends beyond romance; they have a history of collaboration. They worked together on the 2019 track “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin, and Blanco contributed to Gomez’s 2023 hit “Single Soon.” Blanco expressed his amazement at their relationship, reflecting on how his partner was always right in front of him before he realized he was in love.

Their evolving relationship, from collaborators to romantic partners, continues to capture the attention of fans and the media alike.
