On 7 December, the “Slow Down” singer took to the social media platform to share details about her new relationship. After months of publicly discussing her single life, Gomez seemingly confirmed she was in a new relationship with Benny Blanco. The Rare Beauty founder posted a selfie of them, her head resting on the record producer’s shoulder. In a follow-up post, a studded “B” ring was pictured on her finger.
And although her newfound romance has brought her immense joy, some fans weren’t too pleased by the budding relationship. A few individuals aired their opinions on fan accounts, criticising the couple. Gomez wasn’t pleased by the responses, and commented on the fan pages to question their motives and defend her relationship.
