AceShowbiz - Selena Gomez confessed she needed to "start being attracted to the right kind of people" before she confirmed her romance with Benny Blanco. The 31-year-old singer previously hooked up with the likes of Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and Zedd, and whilst she has no regrets about her past relationships, she realised what was missing.
"Honestly, I have to start being attracted to the right kind of people," Selena told Vogue Mexico y Latinoamerica, as translated by E!. She explained, "It's very hard to find someone who can listen to you and care about you. But I know when it happens it will be great and you will want it to be healthy."
On her previous relationships, she added, "I firmly believe that everything in my life happens for a reason. I always try to say, 'What's the lesson here? I want to learn the lesson and I want to grow from this.' I want to experience what it's like to get through those moments that are really difficult."
An insider recently claimed that Selena feels "safe and secure" with the 35-year-old music star. The "Only Murders in the Building" star recently confirmed she is dating the record producer, and Selena "really trusts him."
A source told Entertainment Tonight, "She feels so safe and secure with him, so she felt like it was a good time to share how happy she is with her fans. Benny is a great communicator, is honest and open with Selena, and listens to her. He's respectful, isn't a player, and not in it for the attention or fame. He doesn't care about any of that and Selena sees that and really trusts him."
The "Rainy Day in New York" actress confirmed the romance when she wrote "facts" under a post from fan account Popfaction that said, "Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship."
And she later insisted she wasn't "mad" at fans expressing their concern at the relationship, and she revealed they have been dating in secret for a while. She wrote, "Not mad. It's been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends, family and fans till the day I die."
