SELENA Gomez has dated some huge names in showbiz, including Justin Beber.
The singer recently broke the news to fans that she is engaged after a year and a half of dating – here is everything you need to know.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024.
The pair were dating for a year and a half before the music producer popped the question.
The Who Said singer shared a photo of her hand with the oval-cut diamond.
The 32-year-old wrote: “forever begins now..” in the caption.
In another photo, she was sat on a picnic blanket admiring the sparkler, surrounded by Taco Bell packaging.
Selena’s fans and celebrity pals were delighted by the news, with Gwyneth Paltrow writing: “SELENAAAAAAAA” in the comment section.
Benny also jumped in and commented: “hey wait… that’s my wife.”
Another image saw her enjoying a cuddle with Benny as they snuggled on the floor, while one snap captured her freshly-manicured hand and engagement band in full glory.
The Calm Down songstress has sparked speculation of her engagement back in September when she was seen sporting a gold band on her ring finger.
Born on March 8, 1988, Benjamin Joseph Levin is famously known as Benny Blanco.
Benny is an American record producer and musician from Reston, Virginia.
At the beginning of his career, he was mentored by record producers Disco D and Dr. Luke.
After he signed with Dr. Luke’s Kasz Money Productions, he began to see success as the songwriter behind several stars.
Benny has crafted hit songs for Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Wiz Khalifa, Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Maroon 5, and Kesha.
In March 2014, he launched two record label imprints under Interscope Records: Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets.
The hitmaker released his debut album, Friends Keep Secrets, on December 7, 2018, marking his first lead artist release.
In November 2023, rumors began swirling about a potential romance between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco.
On December 7 of that year, the Only Murders in the Building actress confirmed she and Benny were together.
The former confessed to her fans via Instagram: “He is my absolute everything in my heart.
“He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”
The singer and actress confirmed she was single in a funny video on the online platform in May 2022.
In the video, Gomez films herself saying that she’s happy being single before panning to a shot of four loved-up friends in couples.
This seemed to confirm her single status, which has long been speculated upon.
However, rumors of another romance were circulating in August 2022, when the actress was spotted cozying up to filmmaker Andrea Iervolino.
Images shared by the Mail Online showed them enjoying themselves in Italy.
Over the years, Gomez has been in several high-profile relationships.
Her dating history includes:
International recording artist The Weeknd is Selena’s most recent confirmed relationship.
The couple reportedly got together in January 2017, when pics of the two smooching surfaced online.
They confirmed the relationship on Instagram in April 2017 and attended that year’s Met Gala together.
After 10 months of dating, they decided to split due to clashing schedules.
Perhaps Gomez’s only confirmed boyfriend who is not an A-lister, Samuel Krost was just a regular guy when he was snapped holding hands with the star on a cozy dinner date in New York.
It was reported that the pair met through mutual pal Gigi Hadid.
This was before an alleged rift with Gigi’s sister Bella over Selena moving on from Sam to Bella’s ex The Weeknd.
Krost confirmed the relationship on Instagram after they broke up in August 2016.
Gomez dated Russian-German DJ Anton Zaslavski, known as Zedd, for a brief time in 2015.
That year Selena confirmed the relationship in a radio interview, saying: “I adore Anton [Zedd] a lot and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice.”
However, fellow recording artist Diplo cast doubt on the relationship, suggesting it was a publicity stunt.
Selena had a rollercoaster romance for over five years with Bieber, which officially ended in 2015.
An on-and-off relationship held many ups and downs for the two singers.
There were rumors of a possible reunion around 2017 but a year later Justin settled down.
He tied the knot with Alec Baldwin’s niece, Hailey, and the two are going strong.
Twilight star Taylor Lautner had a short-lived fling with Gomez in 2009.
The pair met in Vancouver while working on separate filming projects.
Things didn’t work out due to the media spotlight, with Gomez telling US Magazine: “We would go out to lunch and dinner, but I knew he had paparazzi following him and I had paparazzi following me . . . People were getting a little crazy about us.”
However, she added: “He is so sweet. Taylor has made me so happy. I didn’t know I could be that happy.”
Lautner later got engaged to Taylor Dome in 2021.
Selena’s earliest confirmed relationship was with Nick Jonas in 2008.
The couple were together for a few months, before splitting up for unknown reasons.
Gomez confirmed the relationship when Jonas’ sexuality was in question, saying: “I dated him!”
Jonas has since married Indian screen superstar Priyanka Chopra.
The pair began dating in 2018 and married the same year in Jodphur, India, in a pair of traditional Christian and Hindu ceremonies.
