Once again, Selena Gomez finds herself the target of an outrageous, fabricated rumor about her love life. This time, the baseless claim involves an alleged romance with John “Jack” Schlossberg, grandson of President John F. Kennedy. Unsurprisingly, the talented actress and singer wasted no time shutting down the nonsensical gossip.
The rumor seemingly originated from an Instagram account sharing a supposed “tabloid report” that Selena and Jack had a secret affair spanning 2020-2021, with the Kennedy heir even offering her the chance to become First Lady. Cutting through the utter absurdity, Selena simply commented, “Never met this human, sorry,” putting the telltale to rest.
Jack, now 31, has wisely opted to stay silent on the matter. After all, why legitimize such a bizarre fabrication with a response? As for Selena, she’s been radiating joy and happiness thanks to her very real, very public relationship with producer Benny Blanco.
The pair’s romantic connection blossomed from years of creative collaboration in the studio. Though they kept things under wraps initially, by mid-2023, the cat was out of the bag. Selena finally confirmed the romance that December and the couple has been reveling in their love ever since.
From attending award shows like January’s Golden Globes as each other’s dates to Selena professing “I won” alongside a photo of them kissing, their social media PDA paints a picture of giddy infatuation. Selena even opened up about the healthy dynamic, gushing that it’s “the safest” she’s ever felt, allowing her to continue growing.
In a recent chat, the former Disney star praised having a partner who “understands the world” she inhabits while also respecting her fully. High praise indeed for the 36-year-old hit-maker Benny.
Of course, every relationship has its trials, like the recent long-distance hurdle they had to overcome. But even then, Benny’s grand romantic gesture – making Selena a card celebrating their “first virtual date” – showcased his loving efforts.
So, while sham tabloid tales desperately try to manufacture drama around Selena’s life, the truth is much simpler: she’s never been more content, having found an amazing partner in Benny after years of brutal scrutiny and turmoil in her personal life.
The pair’s real-life love story, though still relatively new, already looks like a narrative truly worth celebrating over the ridiculous rumors constantly going around. Selena has more than earned this hard-won happiness.
