Selena Gomez called Benny Blanco the “love of my life” on Instagram earlier this week, and now she’s giving fans a look at how they spend their time together. Gomez shared a tribute to Blanco on the social media platform, which included a series of photos of them doing everything from lounging on a boat to kissing in various locations outside. “Thank you for sharing your life with me today and everyday 🙂,” Gomez wrote.
Blanco commented, “😍😍😍😍😍”

The update comes after a source told Us Weekly on July 23 that Gomez and Blanco are “very serious” about their future a year into dating. “[They] have talked about marriage,” the source said. Their romance is “definitely endgame [for her]. Selena is really happy and is doing really well. She feels her life is peaceful right now.”
Blanco told Howard Stern back in May that he sees himself marrying and starting a family with Gomez someday. He credited their strong friendship, which predates their dating, to making their relationship what it is: “The way we talk and stuff, people always say this to me, ‘You know when you meet your best friend,’” he said. “She’s truly just like my best friend. We laugh all fucking day. She inspires me. I get home from work, I think I had a good day. I’m like, ‘What did you do?’ She’s like, ‘Oh, I just filmed this thing with Meryl Streep and then I went to a fundraiser and now I’m like recording—’ My day sounds like shit every day compared to hers.”
Stern asked whether Blanco would propose, and he dodged the question, saying instead, “When I look at her, I do say, I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’” He later added, “I don’t have [a ring]. I’ve got no shoes on. I’ve got to get my act together.”
