Selena Gomez found a rare love with Benny Blanco.
In a new cover story for the Hollywood Reporter, the Only Murders in the Building star was asked why she has allowed the world in on their relationship despite previously keeping her love life private.
I guess this is the safest Ive ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person, Gomez candidly answered.
The Wolves singer, 32, began dating Blanco, 36, in July 2023 but they didnt go public with their romance until December of that year.
Since then, she and the producer have been known to share snippets of their relationship online which Gomez says is a means to protect their peace.
When you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down, she said. Like, if they hear something, theyre going to, but if youre like, I did it, theyre like, Oh, well, theres you, just going to Sushi Park.
Despite being famous for over 20 years, the multi-hyphenate still feels like [she has] a private life.
I have my places to go, and no one bothers me at, she teased, noting that theres so much of [her] relationship people dont see.
Along with finding fulfillment in her personal life, Gomezs career has also skyrocketed in the last few years from becoming a billionaire (thanks to her Rare Beauty line) to earning her first Emmy nomination.
I love where I am in every aspect of my life right now, and Im really proud of how far Ive come, she told the outlet. I feel healthy. I feel happy. I feel peaceful.
Although she and Blanco didnt start dating until last year, the two have known each other for years, even collaborating with J. Balvin and Tainy on the 2019 song I Cant Get Enough.
While appearing on Kai Cenats livestream Tuesday, Blanco said they had been friends for 10-plus years before Gomez made a move.
She asked me out, he said. It was crazy.
However, given their close friendship, Blanco didnt even realize [they] were on a date until mid-way through the meal.
