American singer Selena Gomez, who had once collaborated with South Korean girl band BLACKPINK, is now dating producer and songwriter Benny Blanco, a BTS ARMY. She recently launched her cookbook Open Wide on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and baked a BTS-themed purple cake for the occasion.
bts is a South Korean boy band composed of seven members: RM, Jimin, Jin, Suga, Jungkook, V and J-hope. For those who don’t know, purple is a symbol of love for the BTS ARMY as V said: “Do you know what purple means? Purple is the last color of all the colors of the rainbow, so it means that “I will trust you and love you for a long time.” “This gave rise to the phrase “I Purple You.”

Earlier this year, Selena appeared on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily and revealed how her connection with Blanco made her feel comfortable. “Without going into too much detail, I think it’s very important to meet someone who respects you,” the artist explained.
“And I think it’s also good to lean on someone who understands the world I live in. But I have to say that overall it’s the most confident I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve just grown up through it, so is incredible”.
She and the famous record producer acknowledged their romance in December 2023, although they have known each other for much longer.
A source close to the couple told People in January that Gomez has been “super happy and present” since her relationship with Blanco began.
“She seems to be feeling herself right now,” the source said. “Maybe it’s Benny or maybe it’s where she is personally and professionally.”
