Rumors
Selena Gomez has finally addressed the swirling rumors surrounding her relationship with boyfriend Benny Blanco, putting to rest the speculations that had sparked after a video surfaced of her dancing closely with her Emilia Pérez co-star Edgar Ramirez. The American singer and actress attended Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City last month, where she was filmed dancing intimately with Ramirez. The video quickly caught attention, igniting rumors that Gomez may have been cheating on her boyfriend, Blanco, a well-known record producer.
However, Gomez recently put an end to the gossip during a public appearance. She was seen stepping out with both Benny Blanco and Edgar Ramirez at the Los Angeles premiere of her upcoming film Emilia Pérez on October 22, 2024. The trio’s appearance together appeared to quash any rumors of relationship trouble, especially after the event. Following the premiere, Gomez, Blanco, and Ramirez were seen celebrating at the trendy L.A. hotspot, Mother Wolf, further signaling that all was well between the longtime couple.
The very next day, on Wednesday, October 23, Gomez took to her Instagram stories to humorously settle the matter once and for all. She posted a playful clip that showed Benny Blanco and Edgar Ramirez dancing together, clearly enjoying each other’s company and sharing laughs. Set to the soundtrack of Sabrina Carpenter’s Bed Chem, the video depicted a lighthearted moment between the two men, effectively shutting down the rumors of any tension between them.
The Instagram post made it clear that there were no hard feelings between Blanco and Ramirez, and Gomez subtly used the clip to dismiss the cheating allegations. Her choice to include the scene of them dancing and laughing together also helped dispel any doubts about her relationship with Blanco. Fans were quick to respond, expressing relief and amusement at the playful way Gomez handled the rumors.
As Gomez moves past the relationship gossip, she is also preparing for the release of her latest project, the French musical crime comedy-drama Emilia Pérez. The film, in which she stars alongside Edgar Ramirez, is set to have a limited theatrical release in Canada and the United States on November 1, 2024, before it becomes available for streaming on Netflix starting November 13, 2024. Fans of the singer and actress are eagerly awaiting the film’s release, which has already generated buzz in the entertainment world.
In addition to her role in Emilia Pérez, Gomez continues to shine in her acclaimed performance in Only Murders in the Building, a popular American mystery-comedy series where she stars alongside comedic legends Steve Martin and Martin Short. The series, which has garnered both critical praise and a dedicated fan base, showcases Gomez’s versatility as an actress and has further solidified her place in Hollywood.
With her career on an upward trajectory and her personal life seemingly drama-free, Selena Gomez continues to navigate the spotlight with grace. Her recent handling of the Benny Blanco rumors exemplifies her ability to address controversy in a lighthearted yet effective manner, allowing her to focus on her upcoming projects and remain a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
