The pop singer and actress said she is ‘focusing on what really matters’ while sharing a video of her boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
Selena Gomez announced that she is taking a break from social media “for a while” after false rumors spread about her conversation with Taylor Swift at the Golden Globe Awards. Internet users incessantly poked fun at the moment and believed the 31-year-old Hulu actress was gossiping about Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet when, in reality, that wasn’t the case.
On Tuesday, January 9, Selena shared a video to her Instagram Stories of her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, enjoying a sweet moment with two children. In the Story, the Only Murders in the Building star announced, “I’m off social media for a while. I’m focusing on what really matters.”
Although she didn’t mention it, fans noticed that Selena’s announcement came shortly after the Golden Globes drama went viral. During the January 7 awards show, the “Single Soon” artist was seen approaching Taylor’s table to whisper something in her ear in between commercial breaks. Many wondered what the two could have been talking about, and a few self-proclaimed lip readers believed Selena told Taylor, 34, that Timothée, 28, and Kylie, 26, refused to take a picture with her.
However, on January 9, the former Disney Channel star shut down the speculation by commenting on a social media post about the situation.
“Noooooo I told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s anyone business,” Selena wrote. Even Timothée was forced to clear the air after a TMZ videographer approached him and asked if there was any drama between his girlfriend and Selena.
