Selena Gomez slams rumor of affair with JFK’s grandson

-

Selena Gomez is killing recent rumors of a romance with Jack Schlossber­g, the only grandson of President John F. Kennedy.

On Friday, the “Kill ’Em with Kindness” singer, 31, responded directly to a fan account to counter the chatter that she and Schlossber­g “had an affair from 2020 to 2021.”

“Never met this human sorry,” the “Only Murders in the Building” star wrote in the comments.

The X account that originally posted the rumors later shared “a notice,” featuring a screengrab of the singer’s response.

On the same day she shut down the gossip regarding Schlossber­g, Gomez shared a sweet snap of her current beau, Benny Blanco, on her Instagram Story.

“I love you,” she captioned a pic of the music producer kissing her hand in a car. She followed it up with a shot of them sharing a smooch at his 36th birthday party in March.

Gomez in December confirmed the two were dating after collaborat­ing on last summer’s “Single Soon.”

Sharing a photo in which she sported a “B” ring on her left ring finger, she called Blanco “the best thing that’s ever happened to me” and said she’s the happiest she’s ever been.

Schlossber­g – son of

Caroline Kennedy and

Edwin Schlossber­g – has meanwhile not responded to the rumors of a relationsh­ip with Gomez. The 31-year-old lawyer and Harvard graduate was linked to NYC yoga studio founder Krissy Jones, who reportedly accused him of cheating on her.

His romantic life has otherwise remained largely under the radar.

Fifteen months after former Atlanta multimilli­onaires Todd and Julie Chrisley began their federal prison sentences in relation to a $36 million bank fraud scheme and tax evasion, the one-time reality television stars’ bid to overturn their conviction­s will be heard by an appeals court.

On Friday, attorneys for the Chrisleys will try to convince federal appellate judges in Atlanta that the couple’s three-week trial and subsequent sentencing in 2022 were flawed for several reasons.

Todd Chrisley, who was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty of eight charges, wants to be acquitted on two tax-related charges and granted a new trial on the remaining counts. He’s challengin­g the testimony of an IRS officer who he claims lied to jurors about the taxes the couple owed, as well as evidence he says was illegally obtained.

Julie Chrisley, sentenced to seven years behind bars, is asking for acquittal on the five bank fraud charges that she was convicted of, and to be resentence­d on five other counts that jurors also found her guilty on. She’s fighting the $17.2 million restitutio­n that both Chrisleys were ordered to pay and a related $17.2 million forfeiture ruling allowing prosecutor­s to take their property.

Peter Tarantino, the Chrisleys’ former accountant who was prosecuted alongside them, is also appealing his conviction­s. Tarantino wants a new trial on his three tax evasion-related charges, for which he was sentenced to three years in prison and fined $35,000.
