Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Relationship Timeline From Collaborators to Wedding Planning

Nice to Meet You

Selena and Benny seemingly crossed paths for the first time while collaborating on Selena’s 2015 hit single “Same Old Love.”

Benny coproduced the song that clearly foreshadowed their love almost a decade later.

The pair also worked on “Kill Em with Kindness” the same year, “I Can’t Get Enough” (2019) and “Single Soon” (2023).

Officially Official

After confirming the dating rumors on December 7, Selena shared just how serious she and Benny were by posting photos via Instagram Stories, like the one where she flashed a ring on her wedding finger that featured the letter “B.”

In a response to a hate comment, the former Disney star revealed that she and the Dave actor had been together for six months.

Making It to the Grid

The “Calm Down” artist shared her “favorite moments” via Instagram from a December 2023 trip to New York and sure enough, Benny made the cut … twice!

In one photo, Benny embraced Selena in a group hug while at dinner with friends. However, she saved the steamy picture for last in a moment captured of the couple kissing.

Date Night Vibes

On December 27, 2023, Selena posted photos from a date night at an art exhibit with her man. They took a selfie in a pink mirrored ceiling, with Benny wrapping his arms around Selena and holding her close. She leaned into him as she snapped the photo with a big smile on her face.

Courtside Couple

On January 3, 2024, Selena and Benny had their first public date night when they attended a Los Angeles Lakers game and sat courtside. They weren’t shy about showing off PDA at the event.

The Real Winner

Selena attended the Golden Globe Awards without Benny on January 7, 2024. She was nominated for her performance in Only Murders in the Building at the ceremony.

After the show, Sel reunited with Benny and shared some PDA photos on Instagram. Although she didn’t take home an award at the Globes, she said that she still “won” while spending time with her boyfriend.

Still Going Strong!

On Super Bowl Sunday 2024, Selena posted a dimly lit Instagram Story photo of her kissing Benny, whose hair was tousled over his face. The couple appeared to be enjoying a romantic evening as they lounged together on a red velvet couch.

However, they weren’t alone: Selena shared another picture that night of her posing in the same room with her friend Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Pisces King

Selena melted as she wished Benny a happy birthday via Instagram on March 8, 2024.

“Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco,” she captioned the post that featured cozy ​and photos of the couple.

Future Wifey!

Benny all but declared that Selena was The One in a May 2024 interview on The Howard Stern Show. When the host said that he was “predicting marriage” for the couple, Benny replied, “You and me both.” Though Benny said he didn’t have a ring at the time, he vowed to “get his act together.”

“When I look at her … I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,’” he admitted. “People always said this to me, ‘When you know you meet your best friend,’ she truly is my best friend. … We laugh all f–king 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–t every day compared to hers.”

Engaged?

Selena sparked engagement rumors in August 2024 when she shared a selfie and strategically kept *that* ring finger covered by heart emojis. A source exclusively told Life & Style on August 20, 2024, that although Benny had not proposed yet, fans could expect an engagement soon.

“Selena has been wearing a ring on that finger,” the insider said. “It’s just a matter of time before she and Benny make an official announcement.”

The source continued, “Selena’s never been happier and she’s told everyone that he’s The One. Benny makes her feel like a queen every day. He’s everything she could want in a husband.”

The Future Is Calling

In November 2024, Selena confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she “sees a future” with Benny. She also admitted that being with him was the “safest” she’s ever felt in a relationship.

That same month, he supported her at the 2nd annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health.

The Future Is Now

On December 11, 2024, Selena announced her engagement to Benny. While showing off her marquise diamond engagement ring in an Instagram post, she wrote, “Forever begins now..”

A Long Engagement

Although the couple is in full planning mode for their nuptials, the pair told Rolling Stone that the ceremony was being held until the release of LP together, titled, I Said I Love You First, which was set to be released on March 21, 2025.

“I genuinely feel like this is such a special time that we get to apply it to this album and really just pour our heart into it, and completely translate what we feel and bring it to the world,” Selena said in the joint interview on March 17, 2025. “That’s my main focus right now, at least.”

However, Selena was already brainstorming ideas, with Benny telling the outlet, “I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head.”
