Selena Gomez defends relationship with Benny Blanco after confirming they are dating

Selena Gomez has responded to fans' questions after confirming she's dating music producer Benny Blanco.

Celebrity news fan account PopFaction kicked off the rumor mill by saying the two musicians were seeing each other.

She replied in the comments section with one word: "Facts."

The singer also said she feels bad for one fan who said Benny is 'unhandsome'.

She revealed in another comment, saying: “He has treated me better than any human being on this planet."

Gomez explained that he's 'still better than anyone' she's ever been with and that he is her 'absolute everything in her heart'.

Another fan seemed to not vibe with the new relationship and she responded with: "I don't understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest.

"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 my life at all."

Selena has also posted a photo of her nestling in close with Benny.

Celebrity news pages have been noting that Selena and Benny were following each other on Instagram and then Gomez's mom also followed the music producer.

Benny sent the speculation into overdrive a few days ago when he posted a picture of a note that his 'girlfriend' had written and there was a woman sleeping behind it that looked a lot like Gomez.

The two collaborated on a song with J Balvin back in 2018 called 'I Can't Get Enough' and it seems like they have stayed in touch ever since.

Gomez has been linked with Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber, Zedd, and The Weeknd in the past.

A source recently told Entertainment Tonight in late November Selena is 'casually dating and doing well'.

They added: "She is doing her own thing and doesn’t feel any sort of pressure to be in a relationship. She is just focusing on what’s best for her right now and has been very in tune with maintaining her own boundaries.

"Her friends and family support her and just want her to be happy.”

Well, it seems like she is very happy.
