Selena Gomez appears smitten in a snuggly new photo with Benny Blanco!

On Tuesday, the not-so “Single Soon” singer, 31, shared an intimate black-and-white snap on her Instagram Stories showing the music producer, 35, in her arms.

With only his white tee and curly locks showing, Blanco’s upper body is hunched over as he cuddles Gomez, whose face is partially cropped in the shot, showing half of a big, wide smile as she rests her hand on his shoulder.

Responding to comments on a prior picture shared with Blanco, whom she appears to have been dating for a little over six months, Gomez wrote that Blanco “has treated me better than any human being on this planet.” She also called him “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Her first acknowledgment of the relationship came with a one-word comment. “Facts,” she wrote on a Dec. 4 post speculating about the two musicians being an item. She added, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”

After confirming their relationship and posting a picture resting her head on Blanco’s shoulder, Gomez even shared a photo of a special ring on her left ring finger, which features a diamond and a sparkly “B” initial.

Though the pairing is semi-recent, Gomez and Blanco have known each other for a few years, first working together on the 2019 hit English-Spanish single “I Can’t Get Enough.”

Blanco has worked with numerous A-list artists over the years, ranging from Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.

Despite the newly confirmed relationship status, Gomez stated she was single in August. But she appeared to be in good spirits during her interview on SiriusXM Hits 1 LA, sharing that “there’s not one sad song” on her upcoming album.

“I genuinely don’t feel like I have anything in me to write something negative,” Gomez said. “It just doesn’t match with where I am anymore.”
