“He's still better than anyone I've ever been with.”
Selena Gomez said what she said! The singer, 31, confirmed her new relationship with record producer Benny Blanco, 35, while simultaneously shading all of her exes. If you need a reminder: Gomez has publicly dated the Weeknd, Nick Jonas, Zedd, and, famously, Justin Bieber.
When the Instagram account @popfactions shared that Gomez had “seemingly” confirmed that she is in a relationship with Blanco, Gomez herself popped into the comments to reply “Facts.” Though @popfactions shared their post on December 4, Gomez's comment did not appear until December 7. A couple hours after commenting, Gomez shared a photo of herself with a man that appears to be Blanco to her Instagram Stories.
But that is not where this story ends. Gomez also jumped into the comments of multiple fan accounts to defend her relationship with Blanco, which she says is six months strong. After some followers deemed him “unworthy” of her, Gomez replied, calling Blanco “the best thing that's ever happened to me" and “better than anyone I've been with."

Speculation that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco were dating began a few weeks ago, after fans noticed that they had been interacting with each other on social media…a lot. Fans also believe that a cutesy note Blanco shared, which he claimed was from his “gf,” was in Gomez's handwriting.
The most telling clue? Gomez's mum, Mandy Teefey, recently began following him on Instagram. Really, we should've known at that point.
