Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have not been shy about showcasing their growing relationship lately — whether that be through their PDA-filled award show appearances or romantic and loved-up Instagram photos.

Nevertheless, rumors have surfaced that the Only Murders in the Building star’s new flame may have been spotted on the exclusive dating app, Raya, by several TikTokers.

Is Benny Blanco On Raya While Dating Selena Gomez? Some TikTokers Are Saying So

Despite Raya being an invite-only app for mainly celebrities, influencers and lesser-known media personalities can gain access with references from existing members.

With that said, many of them have been taking to TikTok to share that they've seen photos of Blanco, 35, being used on a profile while he is currently in a relationship with the Rare Beauty mogul, 31.

One TikToker (@amandachristine_1), noted that rumors related to this began spreading after Gomez commented on a post from popular Instagram account Pop Faction regarding her relationship with Blanco. The "Single Soon" singer responded to one commenter who questioned if she was dating Blanco, and she cleared the air.

Pop Faction, the celebrity news and culture-themed account, then created another post regarding a TikToker who claimed to have seen Blanco on Raya one week before the post was uploaded.

This, of course, occurred as news emerged that Gomez and Blanco have been apparently seeing each other for the past six months (meaning him dating her and allegedly being on the app would have happened simultaneously).          

In her new viral video, the TikTok user Amanda drew attention to a remark on her previous upload made by a commenter who also asserted that they had spotted Blanco on Raya.

Moreover, others wrote in the comments section that they had also glimpsed the music producer on the platform. "I did see him on Raya, but for all we know he didn’t deactivate but deleted the app?" one wrote. They added: "I saw him on it about a month ago." One other chimed in: "I just saw this man on Raya last week."

Someone else replied: "Def active on Raya in the last few months. Matched with him." Another TikToker Keely Amelia(@keelyamelia), however, made a separate video in response, and argued that Blanco's activity on the app may not have been as significant as it appeared. To support her claim, she shared a personal anecdote about her own experience with her partner.

The user revealed that after her beau appeared on The Bachelor during the initial stages of their relationship, she received a notification indicating that he was still active on Raya.

"I made him redownload Raya, and I see, like, his activity, and he hasn’t been active since literally before we even started talking. … I guess when you get a Raya membership, you, like, pay for either six months or a year or something like that," the creator explained.

"And it’s like whatever you pay for, your profile is still gonna be active until that period is over," the user said. She added: "But maybe this is what’s going on with Benny Blanco and Selena." She went on: "But Selena, girl, you got this, girl. The early stages of the relationship are tough!"

While Gomez and Blanco have yet to respond to these Raya rumors, there doesn't appear to be trouble in paradise as they continue to share cute shout-outs to each other on social media and Blanco has supported Gomez at two award ceremonies!
