Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Relationship Timeline

The “Single Soon” singer was first linked to the producer in December 2023, confirming the two were dating when she liked fan account posts on Instagram of the two, even commenting, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” on one. Over the months, Gomez and Blanco have been spotted at numerous events, including the Golden Globes and the Emmy Awards, where they displayed their affection openly. Their engagement marks a new chapter in their relationship, celebrated by fans worldwide.

From their PDA-filled Instagram posts to accompanying each other to events, here is a complete timeline of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship. Years before their relationship turned romantic, Gomez and Blanco collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough” together.

In 2023, they worked together again on her single, “Single Soon,” which came out in August. Gomez let fans know she was getting serious about Blanco when she started liking and leaving comments on Instagram posts that said the two were dating.

Throughout their relationship, Gomez has shared glimpses of their life together on social media, from cozy selfies to heartfelt messages. In February 2024, she told Zane Lowe, "It's the safest that I feel and it's been really lovely," highlighting the strength of their relationship.

She also replied to some fans who questioned the relationship, writing in the comments, “then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end."

To another user, she replied, “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 [m]y life at all."

In another comment, Gomez revealed that they had been going strong for six months already in response to a person’s note that she appeared to be “mad” at her fans for their reaction to the romance news.

“Not mad. It’s been 6 months bb,” she wrote. “I will always defend my friends, family and fans till the day I die.”

Hints of a future together have been sprinkled throughout their love story. In May 2024, Blanco expressed his feelings on ‘The Howard Stern Show’, stating, "When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this." Gomez echoed these sentiments on her birthday, calling Blanco the "love of my life." As they step into this new phase, fans eagerly anticipate what comes next for the couple who have captured hearts with their genuine connection.

A week after going public with their relationship, Gomez shared a sweet behind-the-scenes glimpse into her romance with the song producer. She posted a photo of Blanco cuddling into her while she hugged him on her Instagram Story, leaving it captionless.

The couple brought their relationship into the new year, with Blanco posting a photo of Gomez smiling into the camera on his Instagram Story. He followed it with another photo of Gomez cheesing and covering her face with manicured red nails. While celebrating her 32nd birthday, Gomez shared a photo on her Instagram Stories of herself and Blanco embracing as he kissed her on the forehead.

"Love of my life," she wrote over the post.

And that brings us to December, 2024. The couple announced their engagement to the world on Instagram. "Forever begins now.." Gomez wrote alongside closeup photos of the stunning diamond ring Blanco proposed with.

Now it's time for them to begin this new journey together!
