Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco can’t keep their hands to themselves!

The couple spent the 4th of July by each other’s side, as the actress/singer, 31, shared an adorable photo of the pair to her Instagram Story on Thursday night.

The photo featured Gomez’s 36-year-old music producer boyfriend wrapping his arm around her chest and hugging her from behind as she sat down at a backyard table. She sported gold hoop earrings, a white headband and a matching summer dress, featuring splashes of color. Blanco matched her look with an all-white Independence Day fit of his own.

Just as both musicians were smiling in the first pic, the “Eastside” artist posted a few other shots of Gomez to his own Instagram Story, in which she could be seen smiling even more with her hand on her mouth and striking a quick pose for him.

Both Blanco and Gomez are no strangers to sharing snaps of each other on social media. Ever since the latter confirmed their relationship in a December 2023 Instagram Story, the pair have used the platform to reveal their cute nicknames for each other, celebrate returns from work trips, and embrace in a cute selfie taken in a bar.

Their love extends offline, as well. Blanco, who has known Gomez for several years as a musical collaborator, previously revealed in a May Howard Stern Show appearance that he sees marriage in their future.

After the radio host, 70, said he was “predicting marriage” for the duo, Blanco confirmed: “You and me both.”

He continued, “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.”

“We laugh all f—ing day, she inspires me. I get home from work, I think I had a good day. I’m like, ‘What did you do?’ ‘Oh I just filmed this thing with Meryl Streep and then I went to a fundraiser and now I’m recording.’ My day sounds like s— every day compared to hers,” Blanco later added, laughing.

The Only Murders in the Building star has also opened up about her bond with Blanco, telling TIME in May that she remains unbothered by the public’s opinions on her love life.

“I know what people can do to people I love,” Gomez said. “My own fans, who I adore and feel like have shaped who I am, will say the most hurtful things to me about how I live my life. But he has the strength in him that none of that noise fazes him.”

“It’s really impressive, and I just cherish every moment with him,” the “Back to You” artist added. “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere any time soon.”

Since the Gomez confirmed the pair’s relationship in December, she and Blanco have attended art exhibits, hit Lakers games, enjoyed a date at the Golden Globes, went to a Knicks game and even celebrated the release of his new cookbook, Open Wide.

Speaking with PEOPLE about the book back in April, Blanco shared that Gomez was supportive of his latest endeavor and “definitely loves it.”
