Selena Gomez is sharing a heartfelt glimpse into her new romance with Benny Blanco.

On Tuesday, the 31-year-old singer took to her Instagram Stories to share an intimate black-and-white photo with the 35-year-old music producer.

The snap showed Blanco, clad in a white T-shirt with his curly locks on display, leaning in as he affectionately embraced Gomez.

Gomez, with a radiant smile, rested her hand on Blanco's shoulder.

This public display of affection comes days after Gomez confirmed during an Instagram comment spree that she has been dating Blanco for six months.

Responding to online criticism questioning her choice of partner, Gomez passionately defended Blanco, stating he "has treated me better than any human being on this planet" and boldly proclaiming him as "the best thing that's ever happened to me."

The "Only Murders in the Building" star's candid acknowledgment of their relationship included heartfelt declarations such as, "He is my absolute everything in my heart."

Gomez and Blanco share a history that predates their romantic involvement.

Their professional collaboration dates back to 2015 when they worked together on the singles "Kill Em with Kindness" and "Same Old Love" from Gomez's second solo studio album, "Revival."

During an August "SiriusXM Hits 1 LA" interview, Gomez said she was single but expressed her upbeat outlook, noting that her upcoming album does not have any sad songs.

She stated, "I genuinely don't feel like I have anything in me to write something negative. It just doesn't match with where I am anymore."

In addition to sharing insights into her love life, Gomez took advantage of her social media activity to offer glimpses into her upcoming music.

She confirmed that she will release new songs "way before my birthday" in July.

Gomez also responded to comments about her appearance, admitting, "Hahahaha I've had Botox bb girl."

Following her comment spree, Gomez was spotted on a girls' night out in New York City with Taylor Swift, Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Zoë Kravitz.

Photos published by People showed the "Hands to Myself" hitmaker showcasing her style in a brown snake-print miniskirt, a matching long coat, and black over-the-knee slouch boots.
