When Selena Gomez’s Beau Benny Blanco Allegedly Threw Shade at Her by Praising Justin Bieber

As someone who has spent a considerable amount of time immersed in the world of pop music and celebrity gossip, I must say that the dynamic between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco is as intriguing as it gets. Their journey from professional collaborators to romantic partners has been nothing short of captivating.


This year, record producer Benny Blanco is causing quite a buzz after being featured in People’s Sexiest Man Alive Issue. Since then, there’s been a lot of chatter online about the panel’s choice. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez, his girlfriend, took to social media to compliment him, stating that ‘Chivalry is not dead.’ However, it appears their relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Prior to them dating, Blanco subtly criticized Gomez. Here’s a look at their past interactions.

In October 2020, Benny Blanco was on the Zach Sang Show and complimented Justin Bieber for not being like many modern artists who frequently announce their new songs and product launches. He specifically mentioned that unlike those artists, ‘Justin Bieber isn’t someone who says “here’s my latest single, here’s my new brand of makeup”.’ Fans picked up on the fact that this comment seemed to align with his relationship with Selena Gomez.

At one point, Benny and Justin worked together on the song ‘Lonely’. Meanwhile, Blanco appeared as a guest on the Zach Sang Show. During this interview, he expressed his viewpoint by saying “Justin isn’t like typical pop stars who just promote their new single and makeup line. Instead, he openly talks about his struggles, for example, ‘I have a pimple and I’m feeling anxious today.’ Justin has always been open about these issues,” Blanco pointed out.

Despite some uncertainty about whether he was referring to Selena or not, Rare Beauty was launched around the same period. On the other hand, there were supporters of Blanco who argued that they had collaborated a year prior, which could explain his apparent lack of shade towards her.

2019 saw them join forces in producing the hit track “I Can’t Get Enough.” This collaboration signified a harmonious professional bond between them, suggesting that any past misunderstandings or negative emotions had been put aside.

Since Selena Gomez started dating Benny Blanco in December 2023, as confirmed by her and reported by Billboard, their relationship has been kept private. However, through a series of comments on social media, she hinted at their romance. On an Instagram post by a fan account, she wrote, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” before replying to other commenters. She further expressed, “I don’t understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don’t, feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in [my] life at all.

Furthermore, she added that they had been in a relationship with the producer for six months prior to that moment, as she told a fan, “It’s been six months, dear.
