Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s Relationship Timeline: Here’s Everything To Know About It
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been going strong as a couple since they announced their engagement in December 2024. Read on to get a detailed report of their relationship timeline.
Selena Gomez enjoys a huge fan base. Her fans love her not only for being such a great singer but also for her personality. They are delighted to see their favorite singer having a great love life with Benny Blanco after suffering from heartbreak in the past and loneliness because of her on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber. For those who don’t know, Sel and Bieber broke up in 2018. Since then, she has been linked with many guys, including Zayn Malik, Drew Taggart, and others. But these were all baseless rumors, and she maintained her single status until Benny turned her world into something romantic and beautiful.
They started dating in mid-2023, and within a year of their dating phase, they announced their engagement in December 2024. Now, they are getting ready to say “I Do” soon, leaving their fans with much excitement. But before they take the plunge, let’s look at the details of their heartwarming relationship timeline.
Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s First Meet Up In 2019
Long before their fate intertwined as a couple, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco collaborated on the song I Can’t Get Enough in 2019. It also featured J Balvin and Tainy. They also released a music video for the track where Sel could be seen in flirty shots with Blanco, dressed in a giant teddy bear costume. Although there was nothing between them back then, things started to shift romantically in 2023.
Selena Gomez’s 2023 Release ‘Single Soon’ & Going Public With Benny Blanco
Selena Gomez’s only release in 2023 was Single Soon. At the same time, while promoting the track, she used to get all cheeky and hint at her single status. But, soon after Single Soon arrived in August 2023, which was also co-produced by Benny Blanco and Cashmere Cat, statements changed a little. In the same year, in October, Benny Blanco was seen as one of her important guests during the Rare Impact Fund Benefit. Although they hadn’t gone public as a couple back at that time, the rumors were quite rife.
By the end of 2023, Sel revealed in several Instagram comments (via Harper’s Bazaar) that she had been dating Benny for six months, which means that when her track was released, she was likely already dating him. In a now-deleted Instagram post, she commented, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” and continued in the streak of comments.
She further wrote, “I don’t understand. If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don’t, feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I’m done. If you can’t accept me at my happiest, then don’t be in [my] life at all.” Following that showdown, Sel posted a picture flaunting a B-ring on her Instagram story in December 2023, setting the record straight that she is with Benny. And soon enough, they went Instagram official with a series of pictures, where they posed lovingly.

She said, “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone who respects you. And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in.

In a conversation with the Wall Street Journal (via Billboard), Benny Blanco shed light on how their love story began. According to the record producer, it happened during a recording session, he said, “I was the last one to know. It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m in love.’”

In another interview with TIME100, Selena Gomez talked about what she had planned for herself after living a single life for five years. She said, “I was alone for five years, and I got really used to it. I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it. Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone.”
Now that Benny is in her life, things are different. They both are planning for their future. However, a few months after her May cover story in TIME100, Selena Gomez further revealed that she can never get pregnant during a conversation with Vanity Fair. She said while admitting, “I have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy. That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
