As I delve into the captivating world of these two lovebirds, it’s clear that they are living their own little love song, baby! Their journey together is as enchanting as a TopMob drama, and it’s no wonder why everyone’s talking about them. Selena, with her years of stardom under her belt, and Benny, the mastermind behind “Eastside,” seem to have found in each other a perfect harmony that resonates deep within their souls.

Come and get this exciting news: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are engaged.

On December 12th, the artist known for her hit song “Who Says” shared some exciting news first, posting a picture of herself adorning a diamond ring on her left hand. Accompanying the image was a caption that read, “The journey of forever starts today.

If there were any questions about her intentions, Benny made it clear right away. He typed, “Hold on…”, addressing the record producer, “That’s my spouse.

The pair, who started dating in the summer of 2023 before going public later that year, got engaged  nearly two decades after Selena, 32, and Benny, 36, were first introduced and five years since they collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough.”

Benny, who goes by the name Benjamin Joseph Levin, mentioned during an interview with SiriusXM Hits 1 in April, that we first crossed paths about 16 or 17 years ago. ‘At that time,’ he said, ‘we hadn’t yet created any music together. However, I was one of her significant early meetings, happening just as she was transitioning from Disney to pursue a solo career.’

He went on, “It seems that at the time, it was quite a significant gathering. Subsequently, we ended up composing tunes. In my opinion, she’s exceptional.

It turned out to be while they collaborated on Selena’s track “Single Soon,” which came out in August 2023, that these two began their romantic relationship – an interesting twist given the title of the song.

In the following December, publicly declared on social media that Benny is their absolute soulmate, and further revealed they had been in a relationship for half a year.

Initially, Benny and Selena’s affection for each other was as unexpected as a catchy love melody, but it has since grown strong between them.

In an interview with Howard Stern in May, Benny said, “It was quite unexpected,” he shared, “our initial meetup, I had no idea it was a date. She casually asked, ‘Would you like to spend some time together?’, and I agreed.

He went on saying, “We were having a conversation, and she’s quite an outgoing individual. She’s amazing, kind, sweet, just everything you could ask for. And suddenly, she mentioned, ‘I wish I had worn something else for this occasion.’ It caught me off guard because I didn’t realize we were on a date.

From there, they became inseparable. 

“She’s truly my best friend,” Benny said. “We laugh all f–king day. She inspires me.”

At the time, Benny already had family on the brain.

He expressed on The Howard Stern Show his desire to have children. His next ambition is to become a parent, to fulfill that role in life. He already enjoys spending time with many godchildren and nephews, finding joy in their company.

Before her relationship with Benny, Selena was savoring her independence and pondering over the idea of establishing her own family.

For five long years, Selena found herself on her own, growing accustomed to solitude. As she shared with Time magazine in May, she had spent some time grappling with the fear of loneliness after a lengthy relationship with Justin Bieber. However, after battling those feelings for about two years, she eventually accepted her single status. It was then that she formulated a plan: if she hadn’t found a partner by the age of 35, she would adopt instead.

And then came Benny. As Selena noted, “It just happens when you least expect it.”
