Selena Gomez is sharing more details about her romance with Benny Blanco.

Hours after she seemingly confirmed that she’s dating the music producer, 35, in an Instagram comment, Gomez, 31, revealed the relationship’s timeline as she left another comment on a fan page’s Instagram post.

In response to a person’s comment about her being “mad” at her fans for their reaction to the dating news, Gomez wrote, “Not mad. It’s been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends, family and fans till the day I die.”

Gomez also noted the admiration she has for Blanco as she wrote in a comment on another fan page’s post, “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”

In another comment, she wrote that Blanco “has treated me better than any human being on this planet,” and in yet another, she called him “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Her initial acknowledgement of the relationship came with a one-word comment — “Facts” — on a post speculating about the two musicians being an item. She followed that up with: “He is my absolute everything in my heart.”

Aside from sharing more about her love life, the Only Murders in the Building star also used her rare spree of social media activity to tease some of the new music she has on the way — and to get real about plastic surgery.

In response to a comment about her appearance, she cheekily replied, “Hahahaha I’ve had Botox bb girl.”

On the same post, she teased the release of her forthcoming album, saying, “Omg I’m so excited it’s coming” when a fan asked for “good music.”

She also said the music is coming “way before my birthday,” which is in July.
