The Rare Beauty founder shocked fans when she liked a post by celebrity gossip Instagram account Popfaction titled, "Selena Gomez is rumored to be dating producer Benny Blanco."

The account then followed up with another post that featured a collage of Gomez's interactions and the original post. Popfaction then updated their original caption from "RUMOR: #SelenaGomez is rumored to be dating music producer #BennyBlanco" to "#SelenaGomez seemingly confirms that she is in a relationship."
Later, Gomez appeared to confirm she wasn't joking when she posted a sweet black and white photo to her Instagram stories, presumably cuddling with Blanco.
Gomez previously dated Justin Bieber until their split in 2018.
Gomez followed up the story with a message to her followers, "Just a reminder of how much I appreciate and love each and everyone of you."
