For the outing, Gomez rocked a color-blocked black-and-white trench coat, black cargo pants, and pointy-toed silver boots, while her beau opted for a white jacket featuring an orange-and-pink floral print. The music producer completed his ensemble with a beige-toned shirt, matching trousers, gold necklaces of varying lengths, bracelets, and cream-colored Birkenstock slides.
Despite the couple flawlessly showcasing their distinctive fashion styles with chic outerwear, fans were more occupied with figuring out what they were talking about during the Lakers vs. Heat game.
They went off with their submissions in the comment section of a video posted by ESPN on social media that showed Gomez and Blanco conversing. Since the “Only Murders in the Building” actress backed the camera, fans could only guess what her boyfriend, who was facing the camera, was saying to her.
“it’s the “you look so beautiful” for me 😍,” this person commented, as another guessed, “You are so beautiful” 🥺💕,” and a third similarly expressed, “He said ” you’re so beautiful” to her 😭.”
A fourth viewer stressed, “He literally is saying “you look beautiful” 😭,” and a fifth explained, “You can see him tell her she’s so beautiful casually and it’s very sweet and I see why she’s into him.”
Instead of attempting to decipher Blanco’s words, one TikTok user pointed out, “The way he stares at her 😭🥰,” and a second shared, “The way he looks for her hand. So happy for them ❤️.”
This supporter exclaimed, “This fills my heart with pure joy! 😄,” while a fourth disclosed, That’s how a perfect couple is made when two talented people come together 🥰🥰. So cute🥰,” and fifth detailed, “For me is the way he snaps his fingers while holding her hand that gets me. Is their common pasión for music ❤️.”

Gomez Allegedly Feels ‘Safe’ Enough With Her Man
Prior to cementing her and Blanco’s place as “Couple Goals” for onlookers, a source revealed that Gomez has reached a point in their romance where she feels comfortable and open enough to address it publicly.
According to the insider, the former “Wizards of Waverly Place” star “feels so safe and secure” with the 2017 iHeartRadio Producer of the Year Award recipient, “so she felt like it was a good time to share how happy she is with her fans.”
After lauding Blanco for being “a great communicator,” who “is honest and open with Selena, and listens to her,” the insider continued:
“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 source added that Gomez believes she can be her “most authentic self” with Blanco “without questioning his underlying motives.” The informant added:
“It’s taken a lot for her to let someone in, but Benny has proven himself to her and she appreciates his ideals and morals. She feels like she can give him a part of her heart that she hasn’t been able to, or willing to, offer in a relationship in a very long time.”
Going further, the source claimed that Gomez believed she had found a “good guy,” describing the experience as “refreshing” for her. “Their feelings for each other are very mutual and they are looking forward to growing their relationship and special bond,” the informant concluded.
