Selena Gomez Posts Throwback Photos to Celebrate the New Year

Culture

On Friday, Selena Gomez shared some “moments in time” with a series of throwback photos in a carousel on Instagram. The pictures included selfies, professional looking shots, and pictures with friends and family, including her little sister Gracie. Not all the photos were from this year—one image is from her 2020 photo shoot in Interview magazine.

In a photo with Gracie, Gomez is wearing a white tank top and lying in bed next to her smiling sister. In another, they’re at Disneyland, standing in front of a floral display, and the 10-year-old has her arms around her big sister’s neck. In another picture, she posed with friend Sofia Carson and in another with buddy Nicola Peltz.

The collection was missing her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco. She has recently been sharing other pictures with Blanco on Instagram, in carousels and in her Stories. They took a trip to an art museum together this week, and she shared a selfie from the exhibit’s mirrored ceiling where Blanco is leaning in towards her as she smiles.

The Only Murders in the Building star confirmed her relationship with Blanco in early December, telling fans that “he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts” and adding that Blanco is “my absolute everything in my heart.”

The couple have probably been dating since the summer, as Blanco worked with Gomez on her song “Single Soon,” which is ironically about breaking up with someone. Before Gomez came out with her relationship, she talked in more vague terms with Vogue México y Latinoamérica about who she was searching for.

“Honestly, I have to start being attracted to the right kind of people, because it’s a bit of both,” she said about the challenges of dating. “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.”
