Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Enjoy a Courtside Date at a Los Angeles Lakers Game…

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s most recent date night was all about the interne

The couple was spotted sitting courtside at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, watching a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Miami Heat, which the visitors won 110-96.

Gomez, 31, and Blanco, 35, were open about their feelings for one another, cuddling close and holding hands.

The couple’s outing comes after Gomez shared a sweet selfie of herself and the music producer on her Instagram Story on Saturday, just before the New Year’s holiday.

Gomez grinned at the camera as Blanco hugged her from behind, donning a vivid print sweatshirt and planting a kiss on the Only Murders in the Building actress’s neck.

Gomez appeared to confirm her relationship with Blanco, whom she has been dating for more than six months, in early December, when a fan account released a black-and-white photo of the two together. Pop Crave then shared the image.

The “Come & Get It” singer added a statement about Blanco and responded to fan comments in the fan post’s comments section.

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she said, before responding to another fan, “Then why has he been the best thing that has ever happened to me?” The conclusion.”
On Dec. 3, Gomez responded to an Instagram post from a since-deleted fan account with an image of her and Blanco with the title: “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is In a Relationship.”

She reacted in the comments area with a simple word, “Facts,” before posting a black and white selfie on her Instagram Story showing her leaning against what seemed to be Blanco’s chest.

In a new interview on the newest episode of the SmartLess podcast, Gomez opened up about her career and objectives, saying, “I do feel like I have one more album in me, but I would probably choose acting,” when questioned about her two passions.

“I’m going to want to relax because I’m tired,” she continued. I wanted to be an actress; I never intended to be a full-time singer, but obviously that pastime morphed into something else.”

“I don’t think I’m the best singer but I do know how to tell stories and I love being able to make songs,” she said.

The Wizards of Waverly Place alum discussed her music career and how she ended herself needing to juggle both singing and acting on the programme. She went on to say that her perspective has since shifted.

“The older I get, the more I’m kind of like, I would like to find something to just settle on,” she told me.

Kelly Clarkson claims ex-boyfriend Brandon Blackstock told her she wasn’t’sexy’ enough to appear on The Voice:

According to The New York Post, Kelly Clarkson’s former husband and manager Brandon Blackstock apparently did not think his wife was “sexy” enough to appear on The Voice as a coach.

In November, Blackstock was forced to pay Clarkson $2,641,374 for illegally arranging transactions as her manager that should have been handled by a talent agent, a finding his legal team has filed to appeal.

According to fresh court filings acquired by the Post, the “Miss Independent” singer claimed Blackstock told her The Voice was “looking for a more sex symbol type” and mentioned Rihanna as an example.

According to the source Clarkson, 41, testified about the purported chat to the California labour commissioner, who then decided in her favour on the outstanding wages.

Prior to Clarkson’s appearance on the NBC singing competition series in 2018, Blackstock, 47, allegedly informed his wife that the network was searching for a “diverse” panel of coaches and “had to have someone that was Black.”

Clarkson also said that Blackstock told her she was “too similar” to then-coach Blake Shelton to be on the programme.

According to the Post, the musician was questioned by her lawyer, Ed McPherson, about her ability to recall the specifics of the alleged conversation with Blackstock, to which she said, “Well, a wife doesn’t forget a time she gets told she’s not a sex symbol, so that stays.”

According to documents seen by PEOPLE at the time, Clarkson claimed in November’s complaint that Blackstock secured her contracts with The Voice, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Norwegian Cruise Line, Wayfair, and the Billboard Music Awards and accepted money in exchange.

Clarkson alleged in November’s complaint, according to documents obtained by PEOPLE at the time, that Blackstock secured her contracts with The Voice, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Norwegian Cruise Line, Wayfair, and the Billboard Music Awards and received money in exchange.

“Under the Talent Agencies Act (TAA), a manager, like any person without a talent agency licence, cannot procure or attempt to procure employment for artists,” according to the verdict.

According to court documents, Blackstock was paid commissions for each of Clarkson’s aforementioned gigs, including $1,983,155.70 for her deal as a coach on The Voice, $208,125 for a promotional deal with NCL, $450,000 for a collaboration with Wayfair, and $93.30 for her multi-year contract as the Billboard Music Awards host — all of which must now be reimbursed to his ex-wife.

Clarkson and Blackstock had been married for nearly seven years when she filed for divorce in June 2020, which she received two years later. The couple has two children: River Rose and Remington Alexander. (From his former marriage to Melissa Ashworth, Blackstock has two children: Seth and Savannah.)
