Singer Selena Gomez isn’t letting fan backlash stop her from showing her love for boyfriend Benny Blanco. Her new love was once an old friend of Justin Bieber.

Recently, the 31-year-old female singer continued to share an intimate photo with her boyfriend of 4 years older on Instagram, on December 12. In the photo, Benny is seen hugging Selena from behind, while the smiling singer rests her chin on his neck.

Selena Gomez continues to show off intimate photos with boyfriend Benny Blanco, after responding to criticism from netizens

A few days earlier, Selena shocked fans when she revealed that she had been dating music producer Benny Blanco for 6 months. The female singer even showed off her upside down ‘B’ shaped ring on her social networking site. It seems that Selena wants her 429 million fans on social networks to know that this love is completely unstoppable.

The photo appeared shortly after the Spring Breakers star angrily defended her boyfriend against accusations that he had humiliated her in the past. Fans dug up an interview in which Benny appeared to call her a ‘cookie cutter pop artist’ while praising her ex-boyfriend – Justin Bieber. Although it seemed like a sarcasm to Selena, she didn’t seem to mind at all.

While, one fan criticized her for being “stupid” for following him regardless, Selena quickly responded: “Yes and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever dated. Truth”

This statement made some fans uncomfortable. They think that Selena always chooses to date problematic men. The singer should pursue someone who is handsome, wealthy, educated and mature, treats her with love and respect, and shares the same values and life goals as her. However, right after that, Selena frankly shared that she would never be with a bad person again, referring to her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber in the face of outside attacks.

It is known that Selena and Benny worked together on the movie “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2021 and the two have remained close since then. Before confirming her feelings for Benny, Selena had intimate relationships with Drew Taggart, The Weeknd and Justin Bieber, then Zayn Malik and Andrew Taggart. Meanwhile, Benny Blanco is said to have dated actress Elsie Hewitt.
