Selena Gomez confirmed her relationship with American songwriter Benny Blanco, and ever since, fans have taken on the role of a disapproving father-in-law, convinced that his daughter is simply too good for the guy. While the majority of the Internet refuses to give their seal of approval, it hardly seems to matter. Gomez and Blanco continue to enjoy each other's company, undeterred by the collective side-eye.

Recently, the couple appeared on Interview Magazine and their photoshoot has done little to soothe the nerves of the disapproving fans. It is, in essence, a collection of moments that say, "This is us," with all the ease of a couple utterly unbothered by the murmurs of the crowd. The photos are out, sparking conversations that seem to be more targeted at Selena Gomez's Beau Benny Blanco than anyone else. 

The Interview Magazine shoot showcases Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco in strikingly varied looks, Blanco as a tin soldier, both in sleek suits, and an intimate couch scene capturing stark contrasts. Bold, unconventional, and undeniably personal, the world, however, finds itself squinting at the finer details.

The images are out, the message is clear, yet somewhere between the flashes and the frames, not everyone seems to agree on what they see.

For many, the photoshoot was met with an immediate and unfiltered response, quickly spilling into the comment sections. Selena, radiant as ever, is met with admiration, Benny Blanco, however, finds himself the subject of far less poetic commentary. It seems that the public's affection in this case is clearly selective. 

The heart wants what it wants, and so, apparently, does Gomez. Though many remain unconvinced about Benny Blanco, they acknowledge that Selena Gomez seems genuinely happy. And if she is happy, well, perhaps that is enough. They may not be sending him fan mail anytime soon, but for her sake, they will look the other way.

Love stories unfold in unexpected ways, and whether fans approve or not, this one belongs to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. And it seems that the two do not care how much the world raises its brows, they are too busy falling in love to notice any of the hubbubs as they keep sharing moments of affection on the Internet.
