So you’re telling us that Benny Blanco kept his mitts off Selena Gomez until her birthday party? Girl, please—we need receipts because that sounds like the biggest lie since celebrity couples claim they’re “just taking a break.”
The music producer extraordinaire finally decided to grace us with the TRUTH about his secret smoochfest with everyone’s favorite actress-singer-entrepreneur. After months of coy Instagram posts and strategic friend group hangs, Benny is NOW claiming that things didn’t get spicy until July 2023 at Gomez’s birthday celebration. Sure, Jan. Because nothing says “platonic friendship” like making out at someone’s birthday party surrounded by their A-list pals. The audacity! The NERVE! We’re living for it.
Here’s where it gets absolutely DELICIOUS, honey. These two have been spotted together CONSTANTLY throughout 2023, but suddenly Benny wants us to believe that before July, they were just casual besties? The way they were seen sneaking glances at each other, the way they’d mysteriously disappear from the same events—we KNEW something was brewing. They played us like fiddles, and honestly? Respect the game.
Sources close to the couple have been absolutely LOSING IT trying to piece together the timeline. Everyone’s dying to know: were they cuddling before July? Were there secret dates we missed? Did the chemistry just EXPLODE at the birthday bash like a piñata full of romance? The mystery is intoxicating, and we are OBSESSED.
Fans on social media are having a complete MELTDOWN trying to verify this timeline. Some are saying Benny is trying to make the relationship seem more recent to dodge accusations of sneaking around, while others are convinced there’s an entire hidden love story we haven’t uncovered yet. The theories! The drama! The SHADE being thrown around Twitter is absolutely UNHINGED, and we’re here for every second of it.
What we DO know is that these two are absolutely sickeningly sweet together now, posting couple photos and giving us all the butterflies. Whether July was truly the beginning or just when they decided to stop lying to the paparazzi, one thing’s for sure: the internet will never let them live down the fact that they tried to keep this under wraps.
So what do you think? A) Benny’s telling the truth and July was actually the start B) They were TOTALLY together before and he’s just covering his tracks
