When it comes to her romance with record producer and fiancé Benny Blanco, Selena is the first to admit she has trouble keeping her hands to herself. After all, the duo have had a penchant for showing off their relationship since confirming it over social media last year.

At the time, Selena revealed the duo had been dating for six months, and Benny later opened up on how their friendship blossomed into something more.
“I was the last one to know,” he told the Wall Street Journal of developing feelings for Selena in April 2024. “It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, Wait, I’m in love.”
And while many of the Wizards of Waverly Place alum’s fans reminisce on her previous relationships with Justin Bieber, whom she dated on-and-off until 2018, and The Weeknd, whom she dated in 2017, Selena assures that Benny is not her same old love.

Indeed, it has been awesome. After all, Benny proposed to Selena in December 2024 after one year of dating. With a series of photos of her marquise-cut diamond ring, she wrote on Instagram, “Forever begins now…”
