Selena sent fans into a frenzy on December 7, 2023, when she seemingly confirmed her relationship with Benny via a series of Instagram comments. First, she responded to a pop culture news Instagram account’s post about their possible romance, writing, “Facts.” She continued to talk about Benny on a fan post, calling him her “absolute everything in my heart” and “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

Then, Selena appeared to soft launch her new boyfriend with a selfie on her Stories. The photo showed the “Single Soon” hitmaker snuggled up to a mystery man who looked to be Benny. His face was cut off, but he was wearing a bracelet often seen on Benny’s Instagram account.

Getting Serious With Selena?

Selena fueled the dating rumors by sharing a photo of her finger sporting a “B” ring on that finger, leading fans to wonder if she and Benny were already serious.

While appearing on The Howard Stern Show in May 2024, Benny admitted that he saw marriage in his future with Selena. “When I look at her, I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,’” he said, adding, “People always said this to me, ‘When you know you meet your best friend.’ She truly is my best friend.”

That November, Selena told The Hollywood Reporter that she’s the “safest” she’s ever felt in her relationship with Benny. She added, “I see a future with this person.”
