Why Selena Gomezand Benny Blanco’s Romance Is Like a Love Song

I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the beautiful journey of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship unfold through the lens of their social media posts. From February 2024, when Selena shared a heartfelt tribute on her boyfriend’s birthday, to April when she celebrated the release of his cookbook with a cake, and their Independence Day pic in July – every moment showcases the depth of their connection and love for each other.


Selena Gomez didn’t need to go runnin’ through the jungle to get to you, Benny Blanco.

It’s interesting to note that the artist behind “Wolves” and the music producer, who have created successful songs such as “Single Soon” and “I Can’t Get Enough,” initially met over a decade prior to their romantic relationship.

Benny shared in an April interview with SiriusXM Hits 1 that we first met around sixteen or seventeen years ago. Since then, we’ve created many songs together. However, before we produced any music as a duo, I was among her significant meetings. This was approximately when she was on the verge of leaving Disney to pursue her own musical career. Neither of us could recall the encounter, but her mother remembered it clearly.

Benny wasn’t planning for their friendship to develop into a romantic relationship, despite reuniting with them after many years.

A little over a month ago, I appeared on The Howard Stern Show and shared this story. When we met for the first time and went out together, I had no idea it was a date. It was such a surprise to me!

After making their relationship public on Instagram in December, Selena has been giving fans a glimpse into her connection with Benny by sharing photos from their romantic evenings, posting affectionate pictures, disclosing who expressed “I love you” first (a hint: it was her), and sending endearing shout-outs.

In her birthday tribute for Benny Blanco in March, Selena expressed, “Your emotional resilience, radiant attitude, astonishing skill (that leaves me amazed), irresistible wit, and compassionate, gentle soul truly touch me. I adore you, @itsbennyblanco.”

And she’s made it clear this isn’t some same old love.

The 31-year-old expressed to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in February, “I’ve never felt safer, and it’s been truly wonderful. I’ve solely benefited from this experience.”

Benny has also expressed his hope to grow a family with Selena one day.

In my perspective, when I gaze upon her, I can’t help but think, “I simply cannot imagine a more perfect world than this.” (First person paraphrase as a dedicated follower speaking to Howard Stern)

In May 2024, on the Howard Stern Show, Benny revealed that he and Selena had started dating toward the end of July 2023, which is close to her birthday.

In late 2023 is when romance rumors surrounding them first started to surface. Then, in December of that year, Selena put an end to the speculation by declaring on a fan page’s Instagram post, “Benny is my absolute love and treasure in my heart.”

She went on to say, “He’s been the greatest thing that’s ever come my way. He outshines everyone I’ve previously been involved with.”

I, as an avid fan of Rare Beauty’s founder, caught a glimpse of a heartwarming moment she shared on her Instagram Story. In the picture, she was resting her head on what appeared to be Benny’s chest.
