In a third comment, the “Only Murders in the Building” star, 31, added, “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”

And in another, she told a supposed fan to mind their business if they’re going to criticize her love life.
“I don’t understand … this is my happiest,” she wrote.
“If you don’t [care about me] feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done.”
Gomez continued, “If you can’t accept me at my happiest then don’t be in [my] life at all.”
The “Wolves” hitmaker also took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of herself cuddled up to a man who looks just like Blanco.Instagram/selenagomez
Then, after fans were already in a frenzy over the vulnerable comments, a picture of Gomez cuddled up to a man who appears to be Blanco was shared on her Instagram Story.
She followed the snapshot with a sincere message to her supporters, writing, “Just a reminder of how much I appreciate and love each and everyone of you.”
Reps for both Gomez and Blanco were not immediately available to comment on the state of their relationship or the singer’s social media comments.

The pair have worked together on several songs since 2015, including “Same Old Love” and “Single Soon,” and have remained close over the years.
Proving this, the “Lose You to Love Me” songstress commented under Blanco’s Nov. 2 cookbook announcement, writing, “Finally 🙌🏼.”
She also shared his post on her Instagram Story and called him “one of [her] favs.”

Plus, Gomez’s mother, Mandy Teefey, follows the “Eastside” hitmaker on Instagram.
Adding to the potential romance evidence, Gomez hinted that she has a crush in her “Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays” series, which began airing Nov. 30.
Even before the “crush” admission, Blanco was at Gomez’s 31st birthday celebration in July — he also shouted her out on social media at the time.

Despite the evidence connecting the two, some fans are worried that Gomez is not looking out for herself, as Blanco previously made negative comments about manufactured pop stars while speaking about Bieber’s musical talent.
“Justin’s not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists,” he said on the “Zach Sang Show” in October 2020.
“Like you know, they’re like, ‘This is my new single and here’s my makeup line.’ And he’s like, Justin’s like, ‘Yo. I have a pimple and I have anxiety today.’ He’s always been upfront about that stuff.”

His comments were made months after Gomez released her Rare Beauty cosmetics line, and fans immediately accused the musician of shading her.
Of course, Gomez has been open about her anxiety and depression and has taken several social media breaks to help her mental health.
Before she was linked to Blanco, Gomez was seen holding hands with The Chansmokers’ Drew Taggart in January of this year.

She was with The Weeknd from January to October 2017 and infamously dated Justin Bieber off and on for eight years.
They split for the final time in March 2018 just months before he married Hailey Bieber.
Blanco was previously linked to actress Elsie Hewitt.
