Travis Kelce has extended his approval to Selena Gomez and her new lover Benny Blanco.
The NFL star, who is dating Selena’s BFF Taylor Swift, ‘liked’ an Instagram image published by GQ that showed the Come And Get It singer with Blanco, 31, at a Lakers game.
The like might indicate that Kelce, also known as ‘Killatrav’ on Instagram, was supportive of the new romance.
The photographs show the pair looking every inch the attractive couple as they watched the game from courtside.
Selena is close to Travis’ current girlfriend Taylor, but it’s unclear if the singer has met Kelce.
The Lose You To Love Me singer announced her relationship with Blanco, 35, early last month, and subsequently disclosed that they had been dating privately for six months.
Blanco is a music producer that has worked with both Selena and Justin Bieber, her ex-boyfriend.
The producer collaborated with Gomez on her 2015 singles Same Old Love and Kill ‘Em With Kindness, as well as her 2017 collaboration Trust Nobody with Cashmere Cat.
Blanco appears in the music video for their own collaboration with J Balvin and Tainy in a teddy bear outfit.
Selena blogged about being single in July, just before her 31st birthday. Blanco visited her party, and The Heart Wants What It Wants singer shared images of him with her fans.
Blanco produced her next single, Single Soon, which was released the following month.
During an interview on Sirius XM’s Hits 1 LA, she was asked whether she was high maintenance, and she said, “I think I have standards.” And I believe I live in a society where guys conflate high standards with high upkeep. It is not [the same thing].’
‘I mean, you gotta be cool, dude,’ Selena said. Not cool in the way that others think you’re cool. You simply have to be polite and make me laugh while still being decent to my family and the people around you.’
Blanco supported Gomez’s Rare Beauty last autumn, and she praised his cookbook, calling him ‘one of my favs.’
Earlier this month, she liked a post from a celebrity rumor website with the headline ‘Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship’ and added ‘Facts.’
That same day, she posted an Instagram Story photo of herself wearing an engagement ring for Blanco and said in another remark that they had been dating for six months.
‘Selena and Benny have been casually seeing one other for a while and more lately, it got more formal,’ a source said to Entertainment Tonight on December 7.
‘Things are going pretty well with them, and Selena is delighted. She thinks Benny is hilarious and, of course, talented. Selena is at a good position in her life and is happy and comfortable. She is pleased with how things are progressing.’
In the months since, they’ve made their Instagram accounts official, with Blanco writing flirtatious remarks on Selena’s pictures and Selena recording their relationship for her followers to see.
