Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship developed over several years, beginning as a professional collaboration before turning into romance. The pair first worked together in 2015 on Gomez’s album Revival, where Blanco was credited on “Kill Em With Kindness” and “Same Old Love.” They collaborated again in 2019 on “I Can’t Get Enough,” and their repeated work together appeared to build a close friendship.
Public attention around the relationship increased in 2023. Gomez later indicated that she and Blanco had been dating for about six months, placing the start of their romance around June 2023. That timeline was reinforced by a December 2023 Instagram comment in which Gomez responded to a fan and referred to the relationship as being six months old. In October 2023, Blanco attended a Rare Beauty benefit event in Los Angeles supporting youth mental health. In November 2023, Gomez publicly praised Blanco on Instagram Stories for his cookbook Open Wide, and reports soon followed suggesting the two were dating. By December 2023, Gomez officially confirmed the relationship on social media, sharing a black-and-white image of herself leaning on Blanco and calling him “my absolute everything in my heart” in a fan account reply.
The couple’s relationship continued to become more visible in 2024. In January, Blanco accompanied Gomez to the Golden Globe Awards, where she later shared a photo of them kissing after the ceremony. Although she did not win her category, she captioned the image with a celebratory message. In February 2024, Gomez discussed the inspiration behind her song “Love On” and said she felt “safest” in her relationship with Blanco, describing him as someone who respects her and understands her world. In March 2024, Blanco spoke about their home life while promoting his cookbook, saying they cook together often and enjoy eating together. He also mentioned bringing Gomez her favorite soup to the set of Only Murders in the Building.
Rumors about engagement grew in 2024 after Gomez posted a photo that some fans believed showed a ring, but neither Gomez nor Blanco confirmed anything at the time. That changed in December 2024, when Gomez announced their engagement on Instagram, posting a photo of her diamond ring and captioning it, “Forever begins now..” The post also included romantic images from the proposal celebration.
In August 2025, Gomez celebrated her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with close friends. Photos showed bridal-themed details, including balloons reading “Mrs. Levin,” referring to Blanco’s real last name, Benjamin Levin. Blanco reacted to the post with a heart-eyes emoji.
Gomez and Blanco married on September 27, 2025, sharing wedding photos on Instagram after the ceremony. In June 2026, Gomez posted a new carousel of photos with Blanco and reflected on their time apart, writing that distance means little when someone means so much. Their relationship, which began through music, evolved into one of the most closely watched celebrity romances of recent years.
