Selena’s Swimsuit Photos with her Boyfriend: Fans Fuel the Feud between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber
Selena Gomez has shared a new set of photos with her boyfriend Benny Blanco, once again publicly declaring her love for him: “Thank you for sharing your life with me now and every day,” she wrote on Instagram. In the comments, Selena’s fans collectively admire the couple and wish them happiness.
In one of the photos, Selena is pictured in a swimsuit—a rare occurrence as she often faces criticism about her appearance and weight. Selena has repeatedly spoken out about this, responding to haters. Six months ago, she posted a collage of her “then and now” swimsuit photos, comparing her current figure to her younger self. “Today I realized I will never look like that again. I am not perfect, but I am proud of who I am… Sometimes I forget that it’s okay to be myself,” Gomez stated.
The singer’s weight fluctuates due to medications she takes for her long-term battle with lupus, an autoimmune disease. In 2017, she underwent a kidney transplant, with the donor being a close friend.
Two days ago, Selena Gomez celebrated her 32nd birthday with a small party attended by friends and loved ones. Blanco publicly wished her a happy birthday on Instagram, confessing his love for her. Blanco often faces criticism, not because of his weight but because Selena’s fans believe he is unworthy of her.
He is frequently compared to Selena’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, often unfavorably. Fans also try to pit Selena against Bieber’s wife, Hailey, interpreting every move Selena makes as a subtle dig at her ex and his family.
