An insider previously claimed that Selena, 31, feels “safe and secure” with the musician.

The source told Entertainment Tonight: “Benny is a great communicator, is honest and open with Selena and listens to her.

‘He is respectful, is not a player and is not looking for attention or fame.

“He doesn’t care about any of that and Selena sees that and really trusts him.”

Selena — who has previously dated Justin Bieber and The Weeknd — feels like she can “be her most authentic self with Benny without questioning his potential motives.”

The source added: “It took her a lot of effort 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 or willing to offer in a relationship for a long time.”

“Selena feels like she’s finally found one of the good guys and it’s been very refreshing for her.”

The star publicly revealed in 2020 that she had been diagnosed with a mental illness, and Selena has now suggested that the news was actually a bit of a relief for her.

Speaking at the TIME100 Summit in New York City, Selena explained, “There were all kinds of confusing things happening.

“When I finally found the answer, it wasn’t like that. Oh, I have a problem. It made me feel better to know and understand what was going on in my head.”

Selena has found several ways to cope with the condition, including sharing her story with others.

The Only Murders in the Building actress said: “Once you start sharing a little bit, you realize how much less alone you are and how many of us are more alike than we are different.”
