Selena Gomez has weighed in. After coming across a post from a fan account on Instagram alleging that she once had a romance with Jack Schlossberg — aka the grandson of 35th President John F. Kennedy — the singer-actress took to the comments to give the real story Friday (April 12).
Keeping her answer short and sweet, Gomez simply wrote underneath the post, “Never met this human sorry.”
Schlossberg is the son of Caroline Kennedy (whose parents are JFK and Jackie Kennedy Onassis) and Edwin Schlossberg.

Fans couldn’t get enough of the Only Murders in the Building star’s frankness, with one person commenting, “these rumours are CRAZY … Well either way Love you gurl.”
“tell them gurl,” added another Selenator.
Members of American political dynasties aside, the 31-year-old Rare Beauty founder is currently in a relationship with producer Benny Blanco. On the same day she shut down the rumor about Schlossberg, Gomez also posted a sweet photo of her beau on her Story.
“I love you,” she captioned the pic, which finds the “Eastside” musician kissing her hand as they pose together in a car.
She and Blanco first went public with their romance in December, with Gomez confirming via Instagram comments that they’d been together for six months at that point. In March, the “Lose You to Love Me” artist celebrated Blanco’s birthday on the social media platform, writing that his “emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me.”
Later that month, she commemorated their “first virtual date” with another post on Stories, writing, “#longdistancerelationship vibes.”
Blanco produced Gomez’s recent single “Single Soon,” which debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September. She followed it up with “Love On” in February, peaking at No. 56 on the chart.
The tracks serve as pre-cursors to the the star’s highly anticipated fourth studio album — which she’s expected to finish at some point in 2024 — although neither “Single Soon” nor “Love On” will necessarily make the tracklist.
“I would like to say that I am working towards an album, but I don’t know if those songs would be on that project,” she told Billboard in March. “I feel like I’m brewing, and I’m in the process of really creating some great songs, hopefully. I don’t know if they would fit with what I’m gonna go with.”
Benny Blanco knows how to turn Selena Gomez‘s love on. With a sweet post on Instagram Stories Friday (April 12), the singer-actress publicly professed her feelings for her boyfriend and shared an adorable photo with the producer.
The snap finds the Rare Beauty founder posing with Blanco in the car, the “Eastside” artist holding Gomez’s hand and kissing it. “I love you,” she captioned the post. Blanco also shared her Story on his own account, without comment.
The Only Murders in the Building star also showed support for her beau in another Story by sharing a reminder to pre-order Blanco’s upcoming cookbook with Jess Damuch, Open Wide, writing, “My favs.”

She and Blanco have been dating since last year, going public with their romance in December after Gomez confirmed in comments on Instagram that they’d been an item for six months at that point. In January, they snuggled up courtside at an L.A. Lakers game, then attended the Emmys together a few weeks later.
In March, the “Lose You to Love Me” artist celebrated Blanco’s birthday on Instagram, writing that his “emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me.” Later that month, she commemorated their “first virtual date” with another post on Stories, writing, “#longdistancerelationship vibes.”
After releasing a duo of singles in August and February — “Single Soon,” which Blanco produced, and “Love On” — Gomez is expected to finish her highly anticipated fourth studio album in 2024. She also has a number of onscreen projects in the works, including an upcoming reboot of Wizards of Waverly Place and the next season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.
“I want to continue working towards my goals,” she told Billboard in March. “In the acting field, I feel like I haven’t even started. And with music, it’s always evolving. It’s such a therapeutic experience for me.”
