Selena Gomez’s Dating History: From Justin Bieber to The Weeknd to Benny Blanco Engagement

Selena and Taylor Lautner

Selena had a brief romance with the Twilight hunk in 2009. She explained to Seventeen magazine that year that his costar  “Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel. He would visit her, so we were constantly running into each other in the lobby — and we ended up meeting. We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him and I had paparazzi following me. So, we literally just wanted to hang out, go bowling and stuff, and it went a little too far, I think. People were getting a little crazy about us.”

Selena and Nick Jonas

The fellow Disney Channel stars made a cute couple in 2008. Selena later explained in a 2015 interview with Capital FM, “We were babies. That, to me, was like puppy love, you know. It was very sweet.”

The singers were teens when they first came out as a couple in 2011. Their following was so big that they earned the combined nickname, “Jelena.” Selena and Justin broke up in 2012, but would have an on-again, off-again, romance over the course of the next six years.

Selena and Orlando Bloom

While the two have never spoken of their status with each other, Selena and Orlando were spotted hanging out together in Los Angeles in 2014 and again in Las Vegas in May 2016. At both points, Selena wasn’t publicly involved in a relationship. But whatever happened in Vegas, stayed in Vegas.

Selena and Niall Horan

The singer and the former One Direction member seemed to be a couple for a hot minute in December 2015. They were spotted on several dates, including a sweet outing to the Santa Monica Pier. The two were reportedly seen kissing at Jenna Dewan‘s 35th birthday party early that month.

Selena and Zedd

Selena provided vocals for the DJ/music producer’s 2015 hit “I Want You to Know.” She later shared that a sweet romance blossomed from their collaboration. “I adore Zedd a lot, and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice,” Selena revealed to the New Zealand radio show The Edge Afternoons on June 30, 2015.

Selena and The Weeknd

The two singers started a playful romance in January 2017, two months after The Weeknd — real name Abel Tesfaye — broke up with model Bella Hadid. The couple made their red carpet debut at the 2017 Met Gala, and things seemed to be going strong between the pair … until late October of that year when Justin re-entered Selena’s life. Within a few days of his SUV being spotted at the “Wolves” singer’s home, it was revealed that Selena and The Weeknd had broken up.

The former lovebirds rekindled their romance in a big way starting in late October 2017. Selena was photographed cheering on Justin at his hockey games, while the pair attended church services together. The couple split in March 2018, and by May, Justin was photographed with former flame Hailey Baldwin. He would pop the question to her in July, and the two married on September 13, 2018, in a civil ceremony in New York.

In Selena’s 2020 song “Lose You To Love Me,” it’s widely believed that the lyrics, “In two months, you replaced us. Like it was easy,” are about her final breakup with Justin.

Selena and Nat Wolff

The pair were photographed leaving L.A.’s Sunset Towel Hotel on the 4th of July in 2022, as Selena smiled walking ahead of Nat on the way to her car. The two have known each other for years, costarring in the 2014 film Behaving Badly. It’s unclear if Selena and Nat were simply old friends meeting up for dinner, or if their reunion meant something more.

Selena had joked about her single status while hosting Saturday Night Live two months prior, saying in her opening monologue, “Since I don’t really want to try the dating apps, I just want to put it out in the universe that I’m manifesting love. I would like to say that I’m looking for my soulmate, but at this point, I will take anyone.”

Selena and Andrea Iervolino

In August 2022, Selena sparked romance rumors after she was spotted vacationing in Italy with Italian film producer Andrea Iervolino. 

Though the Rare Beauty founder has yet to comment on her apparent new relationship, the pair were seen enjoying a day aboard a yacht in Positano, Italy, on August 3. 

Selena and Andrea were previously linked in 2019, as they celebrated the former Disney Channel star’s 27th birthday along with her closest friends.

Selena and Drew Taggart

A source told Us Weekly in January 2023 that Selena is “so affectionate” with the Grammy Award-winning artist and “can hardly keep her hands off him,” adding that the pair were “having a lot of fun together.”

In a since-deleted Instagram post a few days later, Selena clarified that she was “single.”

Selena and Zayn Malik

In March 2023, Selena was spotted hanging out with One Direction’s Zayn Malik in New York City.

“Zayn has known Selena for years and he’s definitely into her,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time. “He’s always admired her and thinks she’s an incredible person, inside and out.”

Benny Blanco

Selena confirmed that she was dating producer Benny Blanco in December 2023 via a series of Instagram comments in which she said he was her “absolute everything in my heart” and “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” She also appeared to soft launch the relationship on her Stories with a selfie that seemingly included Benny and a photo of a “B” ring on her finger.

At the time, she revealed that she and Benny had already been together for six months. She announced their engagement in December 2024, one year after first sharing that they were in a relationship.

“Forever begins now..” Selena captioned a December 11, 2024, Instagram post, which featured photos of her engagement ring and the romantic picnic scene where Benny popped the question.
