Selena Gomez shares romantic ‘Happy first virtual date’ card from Benny Blanco: “Long distance relationship vibes”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are showing some love from afar.

On Wednesday, the singer and actress posted a photo of a sweet handwritten card gifted to her by her boyfriend, in honor of a very special occasion.

“Happy first virtual date! – Benny,” read the text inside the card on one side, with a hand-drawn flower on the other that was presumably inked by Blanco, 36.

Gomez seemingly confirmed her romance with producer Blanco as she liked a series of posts about the pair dating in December 2023. Under one post from PopFaction’s post that read, “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship,” she simply commented, “Facts.”

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” the Only Murders in the Building actress wrote in a different comment, before replying to a fan, “Then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end.”

The couple showed they were still going strong as the new year began, attending the 2024 Golden Globe Awards together. In a photo Gomez shared to her Instagram Story, she and Blanco kissed as she held onto her boyfriend’s neck. “I won,” she captioned it.

Despite going public with their relationship only in recent months, the two have known each other for a few years, previously working on Gomez’s 2019 hit English-Spanish single with J Balvin, titled “I Can’t Get Enough.”

While talking to host Zane Lowe during a February appearance on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily to promote her single “Love On,” Gomez opened up about her relationship with Blanco.

“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she said at the time. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”

In honor of her boyfriend’s birthday earlier this month, Gomez gave Blanco a sweet shout-out on Instagram.

“Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me,” she captioned a series of photos and videos. “I love you @itsbennyblanco.”
