Benny Blanco is showing birthday girl Selena Gomez some extra love.
The producer’s girlfriend turned 32 on Monday. In celebration of the big day, Blanco, 36, took to Instagram to wish Gomez a happy birthday and lots of love.
“i used to play a teddy bear in ur music video and now i get to b urs in real life… happy bday bb ! i love u !” Blanco captioned his post. He added “happy bday bb” to his Instagram Story.
“I love you 🧸,” Gomez commented.
In 2019, Blanco dressed up as a life-size white teddy bear in their “I Can’t Get Enough” music video with Tainy and J Balvin. He shared a sweet behind-the-scenes photo of Gomez hugging him in his bear costume. Five years later, he’s dating the Only Murders in the Building star. Blanco shared a second photo of Gomez, this time of her happily snuggling a white bear plushie, possibly a birthday present that doubles as a callback to the origins of their relationship.
Gomez reposted Blanco’s post to her Instagram Story, writing, “🥰.”
Gomez posted on Instagram for her birthday too, sharing three pictures. In the first photo, she poses on the beach underneath balloons attached to palm trees that read, “Happy Birthday Selena.” The next two photos are close-ups of Gomez wearing a dainty “b” initial necklace from fine jewelry brand Baby Gold.
“Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!! I’m very grateful and always thankful 🥰 32,” Gomez wrote.
Considering Blanco commented, “i got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain 😍,” it’s safe to say that the $600 “b” around Gomez’s neck is in support of her boyfriend.
Blanco also seemed to be on the b-day vacay as Priscilla Cosme posted a photo with Gomez and Blanco on the beach, writing, “Thirty two looks beautiful on you!” Gomez reposted the photo on her Instagram Story.
Gomez and Blanco have been giving fans a glimpse into their lives as of late. Last week, Gomez tried a bite of one of Blanco’s culinary concoctions. The week before that, they took part in the TikTok challenge “Who’s Most Likely To: Couples Edition,” in which Gomez revealed she was the first one to say “I love you” in the relationship.
In March, Gomez showed Blanco some birthday love, sharing plenty of PDA-filled pics in honor of the occasion.
“Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco 🎂,” Gomez wrote in her touching caption.
Gomez and Blanco, who confirmed their relationship in December after months of speculation, exchange countless kisses in the collection of photos and videos. The two started out as longtime friends and collaborators before they sparked a romance.
The relationship’s blossomed ever since, with a source telling ET in April that Gomez’s “friends and family love Benny and his loved ones feel the same about her.”
“Everyone can see that they have a loving relationship and both sides couldn’t be more encouraging,” the source noted of the couple’s close circle.
“Selena trusts him more than any other past romantic partner in her life,” the source said. “They are very respectful of one another and their relationship is growing in positive ways.”
