American singer Selena Gomez dated Benny Blanco – Justin Bieber’s old friend – and always defended her lover against criticism from the audience.
On July 12, on her personal page, Selena Gomez and her boyfriend participated in a quiz challenge for lovebirds. Accordingly, the singer revealed that she was the first person to propose love to Blanco. The video attracted 9.1 million viewers and more than 800 thousand likes. Before that, the two were not afraid to show their affection, often posting romantic photos on social networks.
According to PageSix , the two have been dating since last summer but only announced their relationship in December of the same year. After revealing romantic photos with Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez quickly confirmed her feelings. Below the photo, the singer commented: “Benny Blanco treats me better than anyone in this world. He is the best gift that life has given me”. Since then, the relationship between the singer and Blanco has faced negative reactions from fans.
Many viewers questioned the sustainability of the relationship, as Gomez had a noisy relationship with Justin Bieber and was caught up in rumors of dating many stars. On the other hand, Blanco is said to have made disrespectful statements to Selena in 2020. When promoting a song for Justin Bieber, Benny said “insinuating” words, making many people think he was being sarcastic about her.
According to Glamor , during the couple’s public date on January 3, many people left comments criticizing Blanco for taking off her sandals and revealing her bare feet during the date. His way of dressing and behaving caught the attention of a large audience. However, some people defended Blanco, saying that his fashion style should not be scrutinized.
After that time, Gomez spoke up to defend her boyfriend: “If you really care about me, this is my happiness. I don’t allow your words to affect my life”, ” I know what’s best for me, I’ll fight to get what I deserve. I respect your opinion but I’m growing. Don’t interfere, just know that I’ll never date a bad guy again “.
However, the singer’s words could not appease public opinion. In February, Gomez posted a series of photos taken with her lover and wrote “my best fwend”, instead of “my best friend”. This misspelling was once used by Justin Bieber to call his wife, Hailey. Many people accused Selena Gomez and her boyfriend of secretly sarcasm with Bieber and his wife.
In addition, the photo appeared after Justin Bieber appeared with his wife at the Super Bowl final. Many news sites believe that Gomez took advantage of her love story to attract media attention and “kick out” her ex-lover.
Contrary to the opinion of a part of the audience, Gomez’s relatives told People : “She is being herself right now”. Accordingly, the artist’s friends and colleagues all support her.
At the end of May, on Time , the singer revealed that he plans to adopt a child when he is 35 years old if he is still single. “I cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know he will be by my side,” Gomez said. And Blanco said he thinks about having children with his girlfriend every day. He said: “When I look at her, I just want to say: ‘This world couldn’t be more wonderful'”.
