AceShowbiz - Benny Blanco is feeling to risk it during his solo trip to Las Vegas. The musician has been spotted gambling in the Sin City without his girlfriend Selena Gomez, who recently posted their loved-up pictures.
In photos and a video obtained and released by TMZ on Friday, May 10, the cookbook author was seen hitting a casino at the Wynn hotel on Thursday. Trying to go low-key, he sported a casual ensemble consisting of a dark hoodie and khaki shorts teamed with slippers as he arrived at the casino with an older woman, who looks to be his mother.
At the table, Benny was sipping on a drink and making a few bets with Selena nowhere to be seen around him. He reportedly spent a few hours in the building, arriving at 3:30 P.M. and leaving around 8 P.M., but it's unclear if he went away with a few more bucks or lost some in the games.
On the same day Benny hit the casino in Vegas, his girlfriend Selena flaunted their romance on social media. The singer/actress posted on her Instagram Stories her sweet pictures with the record producer shortly after Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber a.k.a. Hailey Baldwin announced they're expecting their first child.
In the first snap, which came in black and white, the couple's hands were intertwined as they appeared to rest under a blanket. Selena also posted a group picture which showed Benny joining her and her "Only Murders in the Building" co-stars Martin Freeman and Steve Martin. She left both images captionless.
Selena has also disabled comments on her Instagram account. Explaining her decision, she said during her appearance in the May 2 episode of "Today" that it protected her from negativity on the Internet.
"I think I've created boundaries to help me," said the most-followed woman on the platform. "Obviously people fussed about it. They fuss about everything," the 31-year-old acknowledged, adding that she felt "empowered" by telling trolls, "This is just for me."
