Selena Gomez debuted her relationship with Benny Blanco in December 2023.

The public wondered if the romance — which Gomez debuted in December 2023 via Instagram — was fizzling out after Gomez shared a TikTok on Thursday, March 7, that seemed to hint at a breakup.

“If you have a crush on a guy don't worry. Just get to know him and it will go away,” the singer lip synced while on the Only Murders in the Building set.

However, speculation was effectively squashed when she uploaded the gushing message in honor of Blanco turning 36.

“Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco 🎂,” she wrote alongside intimate snaps of the pair.
