JAKARTA - Selena Gomez seems to be increasingly open to her relationship with producer Benny Blanco. In the new year, she uploaded a photo with her lover via Instagram Story for the first time.

The photo shows the two sitting on a log with the beach as their background. Gomez is seen wearing a sweater smiling at the camera.

Blanco, wearing a colorful sweater, hugged Gomez from behind and kissed the 31-year-old singer in the neck.

Previously, Selena Gomez revealed that she had been in touch with Benny Blanco for six months. The two of them first met for collaborating on a song.

When talking about relationships, Gomez did not deny that Blanco was everything. He even replied to fan comments that did not agree with his relationship.

He also defended Blanco and public words about his relationship such as their visuals which were deemed unsuitable.

"He is everything in my heart. And why is he the best thing ever happened to me," wrote Selena Gomez.

Since then, Gomez has also started uploading photos with Benny Blanco, including when he leaned on Blanco's body.

Another photo shows Gomez hugging and going to an art show together. The rumors grew even more after Gomez wore a ring with the letter B that marked Benny, his girlfriend's name.
