Selena Gomez is in a celebratory mood as she turned 32 on Monday. The singer-actress marked the occasion with her close friend and beau, Benny Blanco. She shared glimpses of her beachy birthday festivities on Instagram. Among the photos, a special homage to Blanco is capturing hearts online. In one of the images, Selena Gomez is seen standing in front of a balloon decoration that reads, “Happy Birthday Selena,” while wearing a pretty yellow dress. The backdrop features palm trees, sand, and blue water, adding to the beachy vibe of her celebration.
In subsequent photos, Selena shared close-ups, highlighting her flawless makeup. Fans quickly noticed a special necklace with the letter ‘b’ on it. “Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!! I’m very grateful and always thankful,” she wrote.
While fans could only guess what the ‘B’ means, Blanco himself dropped a mushy comment and wrote, “I got the hottest chick in the game wearing my chain.” Many others, including actress Zoe Saldana, also commented on the post. “Happy birthday queen. May God continue to bless you because you are a human being who deserves love, happiness, health and peace!!!” she wrote.
Selena’s Wizards of Waverly Place co-star David Henrie commented, “Happy birthday!!!!”
Earlier in the day, Benny Blanco dedicated a love-filled post to his ladylove and wrote, “I used to play a teddy bear in your music video and now I get to be yours in real life… happy bday bb! I love u!” In the first picture, the Rare Beauty founder can be seen hugging Blanco, followed by a second one hugging a teddy bear.
Having started dating in mid-2023, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been going strong since December last year. Their friendship began through music projects in 2015, and they recently went public on social media. They never refrain from showing love and fondness for each other.
On the work front, Gomez recently bagged her first-ever Emmy nomination for her performance in Only Murders in the Building. She will be next seen in the fourth season of the Hulu show. The singer also has Wizards Beyond Waverly Place in the pipeline.
