Selena Gomez and her boyfriend Benny Blanco are enjoying one another in the early days of their relationship. Gomez, 31, took to social media with a series of pics in which she and her beau, 35, were posed in various romantic embraces.
The Grand Prairie, Texas-born actress-singer captioned the images on her social media page ‘My bes fwend,’ to which Blanco said in response, ‘Das my bes fwend.’ In the first image, the Emmy-nominated actress embraced Blanco, who has a passion for cooking, while he was preparing a platter of meatballs.
The second frame saw Gomez resting in the lap of Blanco, who had his hand on her chest while planting a kiss on her shoulder. In the photograph, the Only Murders in the Building star was clad in a plunging tan top with a black coat worn down to her arms, while Blanco donned a tan suit with gold bracelets and necklaces.
The third photo in the set showed Blanco posing for a selfie while Gomez was smiling with her eyes closed. In the fourth shot, Blanco was posed behind Gomez as they relaxed in the kitchen area of a home alongside friends including The Bear actor Matty Matheson.
On Sunday, the couple was seen kissing one another while posed against a velvet red couch in a shot Gomez posted to Instagram. Gomez and Blanco have frequently shared their light-hearted and romantic moments via Instagram in the early days of their relationship. Blanco last week took to Instagram with a shot in which he held a publicity photo of Gomez, while the actress was was seen holding her head in the background.
In the photo – which she signed, ‘Rock on!’ with the inscription ‘XO’ – Gomez was pictured in character as Alex Russo on the Disney series Wizards of Waverly Place.
Gomez, who starred on 106 episodes of the series from 2007-2012, donned a purple print shirt synonymous with the fashion of the timeframe, and a scarf, in the publicity photo. In the background of the social media post, a presumably laughing Gomez could be seen holding her head in contrast to her previous character.
Gomez is an executive producer on a recently-announced sequel series, which will star David Henrie, who starred alongside Gomez on the original series. The superstar entertainer is slated to make a cameo on the upcoming sequel show. In January, Gomez and Henrie were pictured with the actors who played their parents on the series, Maria Canals-Barrera and David DeLuise.
Gomez and Blanco were seen taking in Grammys proceedings earlier this month, as they were spotted at Gucci’s Grammys afterparty at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles.
Gomez on December 7 confirmed the romance when she liked an Instagram post from the account @popfactions that reported the ‘rumored’ romance; after the account published another post that read, ‘Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is In A Relationship,’ Gomez wrote, ‘Facts.’
Gomez subsequently took to Instagram Stories with a black-and-white image of herself in which she appeared to be cuddling with Blanco, and later tangled with fans who said he had spoken negatively of her more than three years ago.
