Selena Gomez’s heart wants what it wants.
So when she felt a certain way about her boyfriend Benny Blanco, she let him know.
In a July 13 TikTok, the couple answered a viral “Who’s Most Likely To” challenge, during which they were asked who said “I love you” first to one another. With Benny’s arms wrapped around her, Selena pointed at herself and mouthed, “Me,” with a smile.
The pair also answered questions such as “Who’s most likely to apologize during an argument” (answer: either one), and “Who cleans the house?” (answer: Benny).
The “Heart Wants What It Wants” singer and the songwriter, who collaborated with his girlfriend on the 2019 single “I Can’t Get Enough,” have been together for almost a year.
Benny (real name: Benjamin Joseph Levin) said in May that the two began dating “right around her birthday,” which is July 22. The music producer added that Selena, who will turn 32 next week, made the first move.
“She was like, ‘Hey, you want to hang out?’ and I was like, ‘Yeah,’” Benny said on The Howard Stern Show. “I remember sitting there and she’s like, ‘Well, I would have worn something different for this date,’ and I was like, ‘What, we’re on a date?’”
Selena Gomez reveals she’s unable to carry her own children due to health risks
Selena Gomez has revealed she will be unable to carry a child to term due to her ongoing medical issues, which would mean pregnancy would pose a risk to both herself and a foetus.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Only Murders in the Building actor and former Disney star said she had planned to start a family by the time she turned 35.
“I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children,” she said. “I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
The 32-year-old didn’t specify which medical issue in the interview, but she has previously spoken publicly about being diagnosed with lupus in 2015, a disease where the immune system attacks its own tissues and organs. A year later she was also diagnosed with anxiety and depression, which can be linked to both lupus and some medications taken to manage the condition.
Gomez underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 due to lupus. In 2020, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, after experiencing a psychotic episode during which she heard voices and felt suicidal.
