Selena Gomez says she feels 'safest' with boyfriend Benny Blanco

He completed her head turning outfit with burgundy velvet pants and black leather dress shoes.

The couple were joined by two security guards who helped them navigate past the fans and photographers waiting outside.

Gomez has been dating Blanco since June 2023 but she didn't go public with their romance until that December.

At the time, she used Instagram to confirm to fans that she'd been secretly dating Blanco for six months.

Since then, Blanco and Gomez have not been shy about flaunting their relationship in public and online.

She often shares love-up pictures with the Teenage Dream producer and he's accompanied her to several major red carpet events — including the 2024 Emmy Awards.

Blanco recently dished on their 'crazy' first date while appearing on Kai Cenat's Twitch stream on Tuesday.

He revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move. 

'She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me... like we were just talking, and then she said, "You wanna get dinner?" And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,' he explained.

Blanco said he wasn't 'nervous' for the date because he already knew Gomez on a personal and professional level. 

'No [I wasn't nervous], 'cause I've been friends with her for years. We've been friends for like 10 years plus, maybe 15,' he told Cenat.

'I met her when she was like a friend. I met her when she was so much younger. We're close in age, but like we were just talking, and then she was like, "Oh, let's go get dinner tomorrow."

'And I was like, "I'm going to this thing with my friends, why don't you come hang out with me first, then we'll go link for dinner."'

Blanco said he and Gomez got drinks but that he didn't immediately realize that he was on a date by the Rare Beauty founder.

'This is the safest I've ever felt in [a relationship], and I see a future with this person,' Gomez told The Hollywood Reporter this week

'I didn't even realize we were on a date. And she was like, "I would've worn something different to this date." And I was like, "Wait, what? We're on a date?" I had no idea. No idea we were on a date,' he said.

'She left early because she had to go somewhere to film a video the next day, and then we hung out like two days later, and then I was like, "Yo, I think she likes me." And then I literally just kissed her, and the rest is history.'

He proceeded to gush over Gomez, who said is his 'best friend' who he loves to spend 'every day' with. 

Gomez also recently spoke about the potential for a future with Blanco during a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter that was published Wednesday. 

The actress has had a slew of high-profile romances from fellow Disney Channel star Nick Jonas to her nearly decade-long on/off relationship with Justin Bieber.

But she said that Blanco is the one man who has made her feel the 'safest.'

'This is the safest I've ever felt in [a relationship], and I see a future with this person,' she told the outlet. 

The security Blanco provides has made her more comfortable with posting photos and videos of them online for her fans to see.

Gomez has been working the spotlight lately as she promotes her buzzy new film Emilia Perez; Gomez seen in the Spanish-language film

Gomez told THR this week that making the transition from singing to acting has given her 'sanity'; seen on November 19

'And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,' Gomez noted.

Despite being an A-list star, Gomez said that she still manages to have 'a private life' and prefers to hang out with 'people who aren't really in the business that much.'

She also quipped that she has become skilled at laying low, or attempting to go incognito, on date nights by obscuring her face behind a scarf to avoid being photographed. 

However, Gomez has been working the spotlight lately as she promotes her buzzy new film Emilia Perez.

The Spanish-language musical comedy follows a cartel leader (Karla Sofia Gascon) who pretends to die in order to undergo a gender transition into a woman.

It premiered at theCannes Film Festival to a burst of acclaim, including a joint best actress prize for Gomez, Gascon, Zoe Saldana and their castmate Adriana Paz.

After a limited theater release in the US and Canada in November 1, the movie bowed on Netflix this Wednesday to a warm response from the critics.

Gomez told THR this week that making the transition from singing to acting has given her 'sanity.'

She also said that she'd enjoyed the Emilia Perez press tour as reporters have avoided pestering her about her personal life.

'Every interview I've done for this movie, there's not been one personal question asked, and I've wanted to kiss every single reporter in the mouth and just say, "Thank you, because it's been so refreshing," and I think that that's a space that is safer for me,' Gomez said.
