On Friday, Selena Gomez celebrated her boyfriend Benny Blanco’s birthday with a sweet tribute on Instagram, as well as some cute Stories of them partying together. The music producer just turned 36, and Gomez couldn’t be happier to be ringing in his new year with him.
“Happy birthday baby!” she wrote in the caption of her carousel of adorable photos and video clips. “Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco ????.”
Blanco commented with emojis expressing his love, typing, “????????????❤️”

In the first photo, they appear to be standing on a boardwalk and he’s kissing the back of her head. In the next, they’re laying cozily on a couch together. The third slide is a dark video where they kiss, and Blanco can be heard saying, “Oh that’s us.”
There’s then a picture of Gomez’s face with Blanco’s hand wrapped around her chin and a pic of them in a photo booth kissing, then a video in a spinning tea cup, and a pic of them in the back of a car with her feet in his lap.
In her Stories, she shared three black-and-white shots of them drinking wine and laughing. In one photo, Blanco is holding a massive array of birthday balloons.
The couple confirmed they were dating in December 2023, but have likely been seeing each other since the summer of that year. At the time, a source told Entertainment Tonight, “Selena and Benny have been casually seeing each other for a while and more recently, it became more official. Things have been going really well between them and Selena is happy. She thinks Benny is very funny and of course, extremely talented. Selena is in a great place in her life and feels content and relaxed. She is enjoying where things are going.”
