Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's relationship built on friendship

Before their romance, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco had been friends for over a decade.

Their professional collaborations included hits like 'Same Old Love' and 'I Can’t Get Enough'.

In December 2023, Gomez confirmed their relationship after six months of dating, calling Blanco her “absolute everything.”

“She’s my best friend,” Blanco said of the singer, describing how their friendship naturally evolved into a romantic connection.

Gomez’s engagement to Blanco marks a new chapter in her love life, following several high-profile relationships.

She previously dated stars like Nick Jonas, Zedd, and The Weeknd, as well as sharing an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber for nearly eight years.

Speaking about Blanco earlier this year, the 'Only Murders in the Building' star said, "Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone who respects you."

"And I think it's really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in," she shared in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1's 'New Music Daily' in February.
