From studio sessions in 2015 to a long-distance reality in 2026, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship has unfolded in public—through collaborations, Instagram comments, award-show moments, and finally a September 27, 2025 wedding.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s romance didn’t arrive all at once—it grew in the bright, familiar rhythm of pop culture: studio credits, red-carpet sightings, and Instagram captions that always seemed to land closer than expected.
They started working together long before anyone called it dating. In October 2015, Selena and Benny began collaborating on her second studio album, Revival. Benny was credited on Selena’s songs “Kill Em With Kindness” and “Same Old Love.”
Their connection turned personal much later, but the next sign of closeness came with music again. In March 2019, the duo collaborated once more—this time on Selena’s track “I Can’t Get Enough.” Based on their working history, it appeared the pair developed a solid friendship over the years.
By June 2023, the friendship had clearly shifted into something romantic. Selena’s public comment that indicated she and Benny had been dating for “six months” pointed to them beginning their relationship in June 2023. She confirmed that timeline in a December 2023 Instagram comment while replying to a fan who appeared to reference an earlier comment Selena left on Justin Bieber’s Instagram account.
The Instagram commenter wrote. “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your boyfriend lol – it should be special between you two only. don’t be mad on your fans. they love you [sic],” and Selena responded, “Not mad. It’s been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends family and fans till the day I die [sic].”.
Once dating became clearer to the public, the moments kept coming. In October 2023, Benny attended Selena’s Rare Beauty Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health in L.A. Around that same period—one month before Selena publicly declared their relationship—she gave him a shout-out in Instagram Stories to congratulate him on his cookbook. Open Wide.
“One of my favs releasing a cook book,” Selena reportedly wrote across a snapshot of Benny’s book.

“Without getting into too much detail. I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you. ” she explained. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it. so it’s awesome. ”.
In March 2024, Benny talked about their home life while promoting his cooking book during a TalkShopLive appearance. “We always cook together, it’s not, like, just for her show,” he said. “She’s an incredible cook. We have so much fun. All we do is eat.” He also revealed that he brought Selena her favorite soup to the set of Only Murders in the Building.
