Gomez recently said this is "the safest I've ever felt in" a relationship when talking about the pair's romance

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco had a cozy, cuddly Thanksgiving.

On Thursday, Nov. 28, Gomez, 32, shared a photo to her Instagram Stories of her boyfriend of more than one year, Blanco, 36, adorably wrapping his arms around her from behind as she sat down for Thanksgiving dinner. The Emilia Perez actress wore a major smile on her face as Blanco pressed his face against the side and back of her neck.

Gomez, known for songs like "Calm Down" on top of her acting career, was initially linked to music producer Blanco in December 2023. At that time, she confirmed the pair had already been dating for six months and liked fan account posts on Instagram of the two, even commenting, "He is my absolute everything in my heart," in response to one such post.

The pair went Instagram official on Jan. 2 when Blanco posted a photo of Gomez on his Instagram Stories. They also stepped out at an NBA game the same month for their first official public appearance as a couple. 

In the last year, Gomez and Blanco attended the Golden Globes and Emmy Awards together; by April, a source told PEOPLE that the pair were "so in love" and described their connection as "a very serious relationship."

"This is the safest I've ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person," she said. "When you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down. Like, if they hear something, they're going to, but if you're like, 'I did it,' they're like, 'Oh, well there's you, just going to Sushi Park.' "

"But there's so much of my relationship people don't see, that's just mine," she added.
