Selena Gomez’s boyfriend, Benny Blanco, posted a reminder of warmer days to his Instagram Story yesterday with the first pic of the couple seemingly on vacation.
In the shot, Gomez appears lounging in a white one-piece with him on a yacht. She is on a chaise lounge, and he is on a cushion beside her. The pic was captionless, so it is unclear when it was taken.
Gomez and Blanco privately dated for six months before going public in December. Gomez revealed today on Instagram that she and the Only Murders in the Building cast have begun day one of shooting the show’s fourth season, so she is no longer on any trip.
Gomez spoke to Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe at the end of February about her relationship with Blanco now. “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she 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.”
A source additionally spoke to Entertainment Tonight about Blanco and Gomez’s connection in January. They said, “Benny finds Selena to be brilliant beyond belief. He thinks she is extremely talented, genuine, sweet and intelligent. He respects everything that she stands for and admires her ability to speak her personal truths and share what she’s gone through with the world.”
Gomez, meanwhile, “appreciates Benny’s intellect, overall passion in life, his art, dedication, and values…He’s very respectful and meshes well with everyone in her inner circle.”
