Selena Gomez appears to have a new man in her life. 

The singer seemingly confirmed her romance with producer Benny Blanco as she liked a series of posts about the pair dating. Under one post from PopFaction’s post that read, “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship,” Gomez simply commented “Facts.”

"He is my absolute everything in my heart," she wrote in one comment, before replying to one fan: "then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end."

She then shared a selfie of the two of them to her own Instagram Story.

Despite just going public with their relationship, the two have actually known each other for a few years, previously working on the 2019 hit English-Spanish single “I Can't Get Enough.”

In fact, Blanco has teamed up with a number of A-list artists over the years, ranging from everyone from Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.

Here’s everything to know about Gomez’s new man ahead.
