Selena Gomez addressed the backlash after a viral clip showed her dancing seductively with Emilia Pérez co-star Edgar Ramirez at a concert.
In response to fan speculation that her relationship with boyfriend Benny Benito was in trouble, the pop star took to social media on Tuesday to set the record straight.
Sharing a new clip of her and Edgar dancing at another concert, she humorously captioned it, ‘Omg how dare I dance with my bestie.’
Gomez, 32, who stars alongside Ramirez in the upcoming French musical Emilia Pérez, has been dating music producer Benny since July 2023.
The clarification comes after a TikTok user summarized fan reactions to the initial viral dance, writing, ‘Some fans think there’s trouble in paradise for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco after a video surfaced of Selena dancing with a co-star.’

The record producer also previously stated that having children is his ‘next goal’ on The Howard Stern Show in May.
At one point, Howard said that he predicted marriage in their future and Benny replied with, ‘You and me both…I gotta get my act together!’
Howard also asked, ‘When will you propose? You should make the announcement now. When are you going to propose to your very famous girlfriend Selena?’
And Benny answered, ‘When I look at her…I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.’
He further gushed, ‘People always said this to me, when you know you meet your best friend, she truly is my best friend,’ and added that Selena is ‘the coolest, nicest, sweetest…’
Elsewhere during the interview, the songwriter talked about wanting a family in the future. ‘That’s like my next goal on the box. I have a lot of God kids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. It’s my thing, I love being around kids!’
Selena recently revealed that she is not able to carry children of her own due to health issues that prevent her from doing so.
‘I haven’t ever said this, but I unfortunately can’t carry my own children. I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.’ \However, Selena expressed that she still wants to be a mother someday. ‘It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. I thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone.’

‘I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.’
The actress added, ‘It made me really thankful for the other outlets for people who are dying to be moms. I’m one of those people. I’m excited for what that journey will look like, but it’ll look a little different.’
And whether she becomes a mother via surrogacy or adoption, Selena stated that the child will still be her own.
‘At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,’ the Wolves songstress told Vanity Fair.
