“With enough sunlight, flowers will bloom” is the most appropriate saying to describe the love story of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. Just like flowers need sunlight to bloom, their relationship is also nurtured by time, understanding and sincere affection. Both Selena and Benny are talented artists, having experienced many ups and downs in their careers and personal lives. However, it was those difficulties that became the catalyst, helping them find each other and write an admirable love story.
On December 12, Selena Gomez caused a stir in the international media when she shared the good news on her Instagram page that she and her boyfriend Benny Blanco were officially engaged after more than a year of making their relationship public. In the post, the singer showed off the sparkling diamond ring on her hand and expressed her boundless happiness. Along with that, Selena also posted another photo with a sweet moment when Benny Blanco hugged and kissed her warmly with the message: “forever begins now…”.
More specifically, in the comment section, the American music producer also made a move to “mark sovereignty” with the comment: ” Wait, that’s my wife “. This sweet moment not only melted the hearts of fans but also quickly became the center of attention. The comment section was filled with blessings, from big stars to those who love the couple. The most prominent was the humorous but emotional share of Taylor Swift – Selena’s close friend: “Yes, I will be the girl who spreads flowers”. That comment attracted more than 1.4 million likes, demonstrating the strong support that everyone has for the happiness of both.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have known each other since 2009, when he did an interview with SiriusXM Hits. “ We met about 16 years ago. We wrote a bunch of songs together over the years. But before we started writing together, I was in a meeting with Selena when she was just leaving Disney to start her music career. None of us remember that meeting, but her mom does .”
Although their first impression of each other was not very deep, their musical connection helped them build a close relationship. In 2015, Benny contributed to the success of Selena’s hit “Same Old Love”, followed by “Kill Em With Kindness”. Four years later, they met again in the project “I Can’t Get Enough”. In this collaboration, the American music producer not only played the role of producer and composer but also took on the male lead role for the MV. In the summer of 2023, the female singer once again invited Benny to produce the song “Single Soon”. As soon as it was released, the song quickly took digital music platforms by storm and excellently entered the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. That collaboration seemed to be fate’s way of bringing the two artists together.
The “Ice Cream” singer and Benny Blanco kept their relationship a secret for months before going public in December 2023. When rumors of the couple dating surfaced, Selena officially confirmed it on her personal page. She wrote: “He is everything in my heart .” Even when fans were worried about Benny’s past, the singer frankly said: “He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is better than anyone I have ever met.” Not only Selena, but also Benny Blanco, when recalling that time, confessed that until now he still can’t believe that their friendship turned into love. “It was weird. When we first went out together, I didn’t even think it was a date,” the music producer said. After making their relationship public, the two did not hesitate to share sweet, happy moments on social media.
Before settling down, Selena Gomez was a name that consumed a lot of ink in the press when she went through noisy love affairs with famous male stars. She dated Nick Jonas in 2008, this relationship attracted great attention from the public but only lasted a short time. Next, Selena had a relationship that lasted nearly a decade with Justin Bieber. Their love story was not only a hot topic of discussion, but also became a pressure for the former Disney star. Because she had to face difficult and in-depth questions about her love story from the media and the public. Even when Justin found happiness with Hailey Baldwin, the love between him and Selena was still mentioned as a “highlight” in every article about the male singer. Finally, when she put the past behind her, she frankly shared: ” Breaking up with Justin Bieber was the best thing in my life “. After ending her relationship with Justin Bieber, Selena dated Zedd, Charlie Puth and The Weeknd. However, most of these relationships only last a few months.
