Selena Gomez has weighed in. After coming across a post from a fan account on Instagram alleging that she once had a romance with Jack Schlossberg — aka the grandson of 35th President John F. Kennedy — the singer-actress took to the comments to give the real story Friday (April 12).
Keeping her answer short and sweet, Gomez simply wrote underneath the post, “Never met this human sorry.”
Schlossberg is the son of Caroline Kennedy (whose parents are JFK and Jackie Kennedy Onassis) and Edwin Schlossberg.
Fans couldn’t get enough of the Only Murders in the Building star’s frankness, with one person commenting, “these rumours are CRAZY … Well either way Love you gurl.”
“tell them gurl,” added another Selenator.
Members of American political dynasties aside, the 31-year-old Rare Beauty founder is currently in a relationship with producer Benny Blanco. On the same day she shut down the rumor about Schlossberg, Gomez also posted a sweet photo of her beau on her Story.
“I love you,” she captioned the pic, which finds the “Eastside” musician kissing her hand as they pose together in a car.
She and Blanco first went public with their romance in December, with Gomez confirming via Instagram comments that they’d been together for six months at that point. In March, the “Lose You to Love Me” artist celebrated Blanco’s birthday on the social media platform, writing that his “emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me.”
Later that month, she commemorated their “first virtual date” with another post on Stories, writing, “#longdistancerelationship vibes.”
Blanco produced Gomez’s recent single “Single Soon,” which debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September. She followed it up with “Love On” in February, peaking at No. 56 on the chart.
The tracks serve as pre-cursors to the the star’s highly anticipated fourth studio album — which she’s expected to finish at some point in 2024 — although neither “Single Soon” nor “Love On” will necessarily make the tracklist.
“I would like to say that I am working towards an album, but I don’t know if those songs would be on that project,” she told Billboard in March. “I feel like I’m brewing, and I’m in the process of really creating some great songs, hopefully. I don’t know if they would fit with what I’m gonna go with.”
