In a heartwarming display of affection, music producer Benny Blanco showed off his adoration for girlfriend Selena Gomez in an Instagram Story post. Blanco proudly displayed an autographed photo of Gomez from her days on the beloved show, Wizards of Waverly Place. The picture featured Gomez with her eyes covered, accompanied by the encouraging message, 'Rock on!'
Gomez reciprocated the love on her Instagram Story, sharing a photo of her feet resting on Blanco as they rode together in a vehicle. The joyful smile on Blanco's face showcased his delight as he partially covered his face.
Their relationship was confirmed by Gomez herself while engaging with fans on Instagram back in December 2023. She expressed that they had been going strong for six months and labeled Blanco as 'the best thing that's ever happened to me.'
According to a source close to the couple, Gomez seems to be in a genuinely happy and contented state. The source reported that she is fully present in her relationship with Blanco and is embracing the positive changes in her personal and professional life.
Gomez's friends have also been enthusiastic about her new romance. At the Los Angeles premiere of Gomez's directorial debut, Lola, Nicola Peltz Beckham shared that she and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham, frequently enjoy double dates with Gomez and Blanco. Peltz Beckham commended Blanco, highlighting his incredible cooking skills and expressing their deep affection for him.
It comes as no surprise that Blanco's autographed photo of Gomez is from her time on Wizards of Waverly Place. The show, which was immensely popular, holds a special place in the hearts of both fans and the cast.
In an exciting development, Gomez is set to make a guest appearance in the pilot of the show's upcoming sequel. Additionally, she will serve as the executive producer for the series alongside former castmate David Henrie, who will be a regular in the new show. This news has sparked anticipation and enthusiasm amongst fans eager to see their favorite characters return to the screen.
In late January, Gomez and Henrie reunited with their TV parents, David DeLuise and Maria Canals-Barrera, in a heartwarming photo that was shared on Instagram. This reunion not only brought joy to the cast members but also reminded fans of the close-knit bond they shared during the original show's run.
The love and support surrounding Gomez and Blanco's relationship have been evident, with fans eagerly following their journey. As the couple continues to embrace their happiness and embark on new endeavors, their fans are excitedly cheering them on.
