Benny Blanco, the famous music producer who has produced hit songs with A-listers like Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, Britney Spears, Rihanna and others, has often kept his personal life a secret.
However, his relationship with Selena Gomez has quickly become one of the most publicized aspects of his life. In December 2024, the couple took a big step forward by confirming their engagement. Here’s a look at Benny Blanco’s dating history and his relationship with Selena Gomez.
Before his public romance with Selena Gomez, Benny Blanco was extremely private about his relationships. Before Selena, the Eastside singer had only gone public with one girlfriend: model and actress Elsie Hewitt. The pair met on the set of Benny’s 2019 music video Graduation with Juice WRLD.
In January 2020, Benny confirmed his relationship with Elsie by posting a series of photos on X (formerly Twitter). “I have a girlfriend, she just goes to another school,” Benny jokingly wrote.
They made a public appearance together at Spotify’s Best New Artist party that same month, but the relationship appeared to be kept low-key. The exact timeline of when their breakup occurred is unclear.
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez first met each other while working with J Balvin and Tainy on his 2019 single I Can’t Get Enough. However, it wasn’t until late 2023 that fans started speculating about their romantic relationship.
On December 7, 2023, Selena seemed to confirm the rumors in a series of Instagram comments. She responded to a pop culture account’s post, writing, “Fact,” which fans immediately took as confirmation of the relationship. She referred to Benny as “everything in my heart” and “the best thing that ever happened to me” in a fan post.
Once their romance became public, Benny and Selena were not shy about how serious they were towards each other. In May 2024, Benny appeared on The Howard Stern Show and shared how deeply he felt about Selena.
He said, “When I look at it, I’m always like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.'” He added, “People always say to me, ‘When you know You meet your best friend. She is truly my best friend.”
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez took their relationship to the next level in December 2024 when Benny proposed to Selena. On December 11, Selena shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting a series of photos of her stunning marquise diamond ring and a Taco Bell picnic dressed up for a romantic proposal by Benny. The caption reads, “Forever begins now…” indicating the beginning of a new chapter for the couple.
