Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are not shy about showing their love for each other. The couple, who recently confirmed their relationship on Instagram, were spotted kissing in New York City on Friday night. They were in town to attend Taylor Swift’s birthday party, along with other famous friends.
Gomez, 29, and Blanco, 33, looked cozy and happy as they walked hand-in-hand in the Big Apple. They stopped to share a sweet smooch on the sidewalk, while Gomez wrapped her arms around Blanco’s neck. The singer-actress wore a black coat, a beige sweater, jeans, and boots, while the producer-DJ wore a green jacket, a black hoodie, jeans, and sneakers.
The pair also posted some cute photos and videos on their Instagram stories, documenting their night out. Gomez shared a clip of Blanco kissing her cheek, and wrote, “I love you @itsbennyblanco.” Blanco posted a photo of Gomez smiling at him, and wrote, “You make me happy @selenagomez.”
Gomez and Blanco made their relationship official earlier this month, after months of speculation and rumors. They posted matching selfies on Instagram, with Gomez captioning hers, “You’ve been a blessing @itsbennyblanco,” and Blanco writing, “You’re my angel @selenagomez.”
However, not everyone was happy for the new couple. Gomez received some negative comments from some of her fans, who questioned her choice and compared Blanco to her exes, such as Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. Gomez responded to the haters, saying, “I’m sorry you don’t approve of who I love. I’ve been through a lot and I’m finally happy. He treats me like a queen and I love him. Please be kind and respect my decision.”
Gomez and Blanco have known each other for years, as they have collaborated on several songs, such as “Kill Em With Kindness,” “Same Old Love,” and “Lose You to Love Me.” They also share a close friendship with Swift, who celebrated her 33rd birthday on Saturday. Gomez and Blanco joined Swift and other guests, such as Ed Sheeran, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Camila Cabello, and Shawn Mendes, at a star-studded party in New York.
Gomez and Blanco seem to be very happy and in love, and we wish them all the best. They are proof that sometimes, love can blossom from friendship.
