Watch: Selena Gomez Reacts After Fans Says Her Younger Self Would Never Get Engaged to Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez is truly loving Benny Blanco like a love song, baby.

The “Come and Get It Singer” singer responded to a fan who questioned her relationship with the record producer.

“I know and so do you that at the time she would never have gotten engaged to Benny,” a fan wrote on a June 3 TikTok alongside a video of Selena when she was younger. “She was in her IT GIRL era.”

But Selena has very different feelings on that period in her life, commenting, “Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol.”

And fans quickly came to the 32-year-old’s defense, with one commenting, “Benny treats her like a queen.”

Another fan added, “people who hate on the relationship gotta get over it. she’s the happiest she’s ever been.”

And that sentiment is one Selena has echoed ever since she and Benny went public with their relationship in December.

“To kind of feel really happy in my life and actually mean,” she continued, “I’m just smiling the whole time. It’s such a good feeling.”

Still, the Rare Beauty founder has had to defend her relationship with the 36-year-old.

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in a Dec. 7 Instagram comments. “Why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me?”

Sharing that she’s now at her “happiest,” Selena added, “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with.”

“I want to have kids,” he told Howard Stern in May. “That’s the next goal, to check the box. I have a ton of godkids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.”
