Gomez’s fun night out on the town comes after she appeared to confirm that she is dating Blanco, 35, in several comments left on a post from a fan account. On Thursday, PopCrave shared a black and white photo of Gomez and Blanco on X (formerly Twitter), where the former Disney Channel star replied to one user in the comments, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”

She also wrote to another fan, “Then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end.”

To another person, she replied, “Lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”

A fourth user got her a bit fired up, prompting her to clap back, “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.”

Facts,” she wrote in the comments.

She later shared a selfie of her and Blanco on her own Instagram Story.

The “Same Old Love” singer also gave another not-so-subtle hint that she and the producer are dating when she shared a picture on her Instagram Story of some new jewelry on Thursday. A close-up image of her hand showed her sporting a Jacquie Aiche ring adorned with a diamond and a sparkly “B” initial on her left ring finger.

Gomez and Blanco, who have known each other for a few years, recently collaborated on her latest single, “Single Soon,” which was released in August. They also worked together on her 2019 hit “I Can’t Get Enough.” In July, Blanco attended her 31st birthday bash.

While Gomez says she is “my happiest” amid her romance with Blanco, she revealed over the summer that “Single Soon” is about embracing and enjoying the end of a relationship.

“It’s basically my way of saying, ‘It’s totally OK being on your own, and it’s fun,” she explained in an August interview with SiriusXM Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon.
