Selena Gomez recently shared her thoughts on her relationship with producer Benny Blanco in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, revealing that she feels more secure and optimistic about their future together than ever before. The 32-year-old singer, known for hits like Love You Like A Love Song, opened up about why she has been more public about her romance and how she sees her relationship with Blanco evolving.
When asked about her decision to go public with their relationship, Gomez explained, “I guess this is the safest I’ve ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person.” She admitted that she is more comfortable sharing glimpses of her relationship, as it helps reduce the intense media scrutiny she usually faces. “When you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,” she explained, noting that small public details, such as dining out together, help calm public curiosity.
Despite being open about certain aspects of their relationship, Gomez made it clear that she values her privacy. “But there’s so much of my relationship people don’t see, that’s just mine,” she said. The Rare Beauty founder revealed that she maintains a private life by surrounding herself with people who aren’t deeply embedded in the entertainment industry. “I do, because I hang out with people who aren’t really in the business that much. I mean, I have both,” she explained.
Although Selena has experienced her share of paparazzi attention, she shared that sometimes it’s part of the job. “But other times, it’s part of the job and you just have to deal with it,” she added, acknowledging the challenges that come with being a public figure.
Gomez and Benny Blanco, who have been dating since 2023, made their relationship public in December of that year. With her recent comments, it’s clear that the couple is in a good place, and Selena is excited about the future they are building together.
