Selena Gomez recently caused a frenzy when she released a series of photos with her new boyfriend, causing 5.3 million people to go crаzy. However, she had to quickly disable comments due to an awkward moment captured in the photos.
Selena Gomez and renowned producer Benny Blanco are currently the most controversial couple in Hollywood. After a string of relationships with handsome celebrities and successful businessmen, the singer unexpectedly went public with her new powerful boyfriend, who doesn’t possess the same dazzling appearance as her previous partners. Despite not hesitating to showcase her relationship with Benny on social media, unlike her past romances, Selena Gomez decided to lock down the comments section and only allowed famous stars and close acquaintances to express their congratulations. It’s worth noting that she had never disabled comments on previous posts teasing her romantic involvement with Benny.
The reason behind Selena Gomez’s actions is said to stem from the harsh criticism directed at Benny Blanco’s appearance and a particular photo capturing an awkward mome𝚗t in their public post. Since confirming their relationship, this talented couple has not received much support from the audience due to their contrasting looks. Many fans believe that Selena Gomez has given up on pursuing handsome me𝚗 in showbiz and turned to producer Benny Blanco instead. However, Selena herself always affirms that Benny is her destiny, not forgetting to mock her previous relationships when she proudly exclaims about her new boyfriend: “He is better than all the people I’ve dated.”
Furthermore, in a recent affectionate photo set, the image of Benny Blanco placing his hand on Selena Gomez’s vоluptuоus curves has become the center of controversy. Many fans believe that the couple is “overly affectionate” in their displays. Kissing and hugging actions can be acceptable, but sensitive gestures like the one captured should not be flaunted on social media. Naturally, despite differing opinions, there are still many netizens who support the couple for their genuine affection and the transition from best friends to lovers. According to People, Benny Blanco has also gained the approval of Selena Gomez’s close circle of friends, notably Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz. Billionaire heiress Nicola Peltz once shared in an interview on the red carpet of the Lola movie premiere in Los Angeles that she is a fan of Benny and even mentioned that she and Selena had double-dated with Benny, saying, “He is truly amazing. We really admire him. And he’s also a good cook. Brooklyn and Benny love cooking together, while Selena and I sit there exclaiming, ‘Wow, we’re the winners.'”
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco went public with their relationship in 2023. The couple accompanied each other at the Golden Globe Awards earlier this year, and Selena quickly posted a photo with her boyfriend, captioning it “I won,” to assert how fortunate she feels to have an incredible partner.
