Selena Gomez has broken her silence over her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, who was included in the 2024 Sexiest Man Alive issue of People Magazine.
During an upcoming interview with CBS Sunday Morning, the "Wolves" diva, who is 32 years old and just went shopping in Los Angeles with her younger sister Gracie, who is 11 years old, expressed how "proud" she was of the record producer, who is 36 years old.
On Saturday, a small excerpt was uploaded on X, and the interviewer mentioned Benny being featured in the special issue that was published this month.
"Yeah, that's my man!" Selena said with a warm smile on her face as she enthusiastically responded, per the DailyMail.
Another thing that she disclosed was her initial response when she found out that Benny would be featured in the publication. She said, "You know, it was very charming. I think, for me, I am beyond proud to know that there is someone in the world that deeply cares about every tiny detail about who I am."
Selena added, "And have someone support me, encourage me, inspire me and motivate me. It brings me a joy."
"And more than anything he's just my best friend. And I'm really, really lucky so...," the actress said with another small smile.
According to Geo, the singer of "Calm Down" has stated in the past that she is experiencing the "safest" she has "ever felt" in her present relationship.
During an interview with People magazine for the Sexiest Man Alive edition, Benny discussed his love for Selena, their romantic mornings together, and other aspects of their relationship.
Midway through 2023, the pair began dating in a secret setting. They remained silent about their relationship for several months before finally revealing it to the world.
"I'm a real morning person. It's my favorite time to spend with Sel, because we both wake up really early. It's like our moment before the rest of the world wakes up," he explained to the outlet.
He affectionately referred to the actress from "Only Murders in the Building" as his "best friend" and added, "Every day is the best day of my life."
Benny offered advice on how to be a "Sexy Gentleman" in the edition of the publication that showcased the Sexiest Man Alive. The music producer shared some pearls of advice with his audience, including the following: "Learn how to cook," "Dress with confidence," and "Self-care is a must."
Social media surged with responses after the couple's poignant disclosures.
"Selena deserves all the happiness in the world, and Benny seems like the perfect match!" a fan said.
"Benny giving relationship goals! Cooking and confidence? We need more men like him!" another quipped.
"Selena's glow says it all. Love seeing her happy and supported!" a third fan squealed.
"Honestly, I didn't expect them to last, but they're proving everyone wrong," a netizen wrote.
"Is anyone else over the 'Sexiest Man Alive' hype? Can't we celebrate them without the title?" a fifth person said.
"Benny's style tips are on point. Selena clearly found someone who matches her vibe!" another said.
