The 31-year-old Selena Gomez responded to criticism directed at her boyfriend, 36-year-old producer Benny Blanco, from her fans.
In an interview with Time magazine, the actress addressed the public’s harsh reception of her new romance with her best friend, now boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
She said; “I know what people can do to the people I love. My own fans, who I adore and feel have shaped who I am, will tell me the most hurtful things about how I live my life.”
Selena, however, is happy that her partner is unaffected by these remarks.
“He has the strength to not let himself be disturbed by these lines. It’s really impressive and I cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know he’s not going anywhere anytime soon,” said the most recent winner in the female acting category at the Cannes Film Festival.
As much as she is very happy with the relationship, she says that he is not her “only source of happiness.” “I was alone for five years, and I really got used to it. It just happens when you least expect it,” she adds.
Selena Gomez Reveals Baby Plans Before Meeting Beau Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez recently revealed that she had plans for adoption long before she started dating boyfriend Benny Blanco.
Speaking exclusively to Times Magazine, the American singer claimed that she had thought about adoption in a bid to combat loneliness.
She specifically told the outlet: “I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it. A lot of people are afraid of being alone, and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone. Then I kind of accepted it.”
Continuing on the subject, the Love On alum said that she “came up with (her) plan” to go for adoption by the time she’s 35.
“Then I came up with my plan, which was that I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone,” she added.
The Only Murders in the Building star stressed keeping her romance discreet despite being happy in her current relationship.
