Only a day after the “Love You Like a Love Song” singer confirmed her relationship with Blanco, she shared a series of photos to her Instagram Story, where she showed off her custom “B” wrap ring from Jacquie Aiche. (We’re guessing “B” stands for “Benny.”)
Gomez gave a close-up of the 14k yellow gold round diamond and pavé letter accessory in a black-and-white shot. She followed it up with a photo of herself sipping from a mug, where the ring was on full display yet again.

Gomez confirmed her relationship with Blanco through two separate interactions on the @popfactions Instagram account. First, the celebrity news page shared an article, claiming, “Selena Gomez Is Rumored to Be Dating Producer Benny Blanco” (which Gomez liked). Then, they shared another update, which read, “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship,” and the Spring Breakers actor took it a step further by commenting, “Facts.”
To really confirm the news, Gomez posted a black-and-white selfie to her page, which saw her laying her head on Blanco’s chest.

In September, the “Come & Get It” singer seemingly confirmed her relationship status as single, when she posted a humorous TikTok, where she lip-synced to an audio that said, “Guess who has a boyfriend? Not me b**ch! Y’all be safe out there!” However, if Gomez was already with Blanco at this point, she might’ve just been throwing us off the trail.
