Selena Gomez has opened up about her blossoming romance with Benny Blanco, offering a rare glimpse into their relationship during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The 32-year-old star, who is currently promoting her new film Emilia Pérez, was playfully grilled by Colbert about her connection with the 36-year-old songwriter.
On December 3, the Daily Mail reported that during the lively interview, Stephen Colbert showed a picture of Benny hugging Selena during the Thanksgiving holiday, joking, “He seems to like you a lot.” To which Selena, with a smile, responded, “Well, I hope so,” leaving fans curious about the nature of their relationship.
The conversation then took a more direct turn when Colbert asked, “If you don’t mind me asking, where is this relationship going?” Selena, caught off guard by the personal question, laughed and replied, “Whoa, I thought you were going to ask where this picture was taken?” The playful exchange had the audience laughing, and Selena continued to keep things light, adding, “You know what? I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time.”
While Selena was initially surprised by the line of questioning, she didn’t shy away from sharing more about her relationship with Benny. She revealed that not only is she enjoying her time with him, but Benny also took it upon himself to cook an entire Thanksgiving feast for 50 people, showcasing his caring side. “He cooked the entire holiday feast by himself for 50 people,” she said, beaming with pride.
The singer-turned-actress has been linked romantically to Benny since December 2023, though they have kept their relationship relatively private. Their chemistry has sparked curiosity among fans, especially after engagement rumors began circulating in November 2024. Selena posted a picture of herself wearing a massive ring on Instagram, leading many to speculate about a possible engagement. However, neither Selena nor Benny have commented on the ring or the rumors surrounding their relationship.
Despite the buzz around the ring and their closeness, Selena has remained tight-lipped about the specifics of their future, instead focusing on the joy she’s finding in the present moment. Her words, “I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time,” reflect a carefree and happy approach to her romance with Benny, suggesting that they’re taking things one step at a time.
Fans of Selena have been eagerly watching for updates on her personal life, especially as she continues to juggle her career in both music and acting. Her honesty about the current state of her relationship with Benny Blanco shows that, while she may be in the public eye, she’s keeping her personal life on her terms.
As Selena and Benny’s relationship continues to make headlines, fans are left wondering what’s next for the couple. Will they confirm engagement rumors, or will they continue to enjoy their private time together? Only time will tell, but for now, Selena seems happy to let her romance unfold at its own pace.
