Selena Gomez was seen getting cozy with her new fiancé, Benny Blanco, on Wednesday while celebrating Hanukkah with friends. The 32-year-old Rare Beauty founder shared smiles with her 36-year-old music producer partner in a photo posted by author Jake Cohen on Instagram.
Cohen’s caption humorously noted, “Some lonely Jews on Christmas getting lit.” Other attendees included actress Debra Messing and Real Housewives of New York City’s Erin Lichy.
Gomez also posted a moment on her Instagram Stories, expressing her excitement about meeting actor Josh Radnor, captioning a selfie with him: “Made my Christmas @joshradnor… huge fan of How I Met Your Mother.”
Earlier this month, Gomez announced her engagement to Blanco, a year after confirming their relationship. She shared pictures of her stunning diamond ring with her 422 million followers, captioning the post, “Forever begins now…” along with a sweet image of her fiancé kissing her head.

Before Blanco’s proposal, Gomez was linked to several high-profile relationships, most notably with Justin Bieber. She has also dated The Weeknd, Zedd, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and Zayn Malik.
Gomez confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023, noting they had been together for six months. This announcement followed her supportive comments on an Instagram post suggesting she was in a relationship. She mentioned that he treats her better than anyone else.

After going public, some fans recalled Blanco’s past comments about pop stars, where he labeled those who promote brands alongside their music as “cookie-cutter.” Despite mixed reactions, Gomez defended him, stating, “Lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”
In response to a fan’s concerns about Blanco’s influence, she remarked, “He has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
For the Hanukkah celebration, Gomez opted for a casual look in a plush, silver-gray sweatsuit adorned with snowflakes, complemented by a knit gray hat. Blanco wore a cream sweater and beige trousers, accessorizing with layered gold chains.
