Selena Gomez is dating producer Benny Blanco – well, Gomez saw the rumors too. The pop star/actress went on an Instagram commenting spree Thursday, responding to social media reaction to the rumored pairing.

βHe is my absolute everything in my heart,βshe commented on this post, before replying to other comments on the account.
βI donβt understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest,β she said to one commenter. βIf you donβt, feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. Iβm done. If you canβt accept me at my happiest then donβt be in my life at all.β
One commenter fired back:βIf you canβt handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your boyfriend lol β it should be special between you two only. Donβt be mad at your fans. They love you.β
Gomez countered by offering up a timeline of the new relationship, saying that theyβve actually kept things private for half a year.
βNot mad. Itβs been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends family and fans till the day I die.β

Following the comments, Gomez took to her own Instagram Stories and shared a photo that appeared to be of her and Blanco. In a separate Story, she wrote:
βJust a reminder of how much I appreciate and love each and everyone of you.β
Blanco co-produced Gomezβs most recent song βSingle Soon,β
