Since Selena Gomez sparked rumours that she's engaged to Benny Blanco here's everything we know about their relationship so far.
'Single Soon' singer Selena Gomez announced her new relationship with boyfriend Benny Blanco with a simple Instagram comment that read, "Facts."
And after revealing the romance she posted their first snap together, professed her love for him and said they'd been dating for six months already.
Only Murders In The Building actress Selena claimed music producer Benny is the "best thing" that's ever happened to her and better than any of her exes.
She then sparked engagement rumours as she shared a pic of her wedding finger sporting a jewel encrusted ring with a B for Benny.
Before dating, the pair worked together in a professional sense with Benny credited on her tracks 'Kill Em With Kindness', 'Same Old Love' and 'I Can’t Get Enough'.
So, are they engaged, how did they meet and how long have they been together? Here's a look at Selena and Benny's relationship so far.
Selena shared a video on Instagram of her dancing to Sabrina Carpenter's 'Juno' at the 'Short N' Sweet' tour. She tagged the video with Benny's IG handle and he commented back.
Under the video he wrote: "can’t keep my hands to myself." In the video Selena was wearing a sparkly, black mini dress, diamanté tights and white boots.
She danced to the song placing her hand on her stomach and miming a baby bump along with the song's meaning.

Music producer and songwriter Benny was at the Emmys in full support of his girlfriend as they were pictured with him planting a kiss on her cheek.
The Only Murders In The Building actress expertly hosted the awards with her co-stars Steve Martin, Martin Short. However a lot of attention was drawn to her wedding ring finger which was adorned with a diamond band.
Just in case anyone was wondering, Selena reminded fans that she and Benny are still going strong 14 months into their relationship.
She did this with nine new pictures of the two of them looking super adorable on her Instagram. She captioned the post: "Thank you for sharing your life with me today and everyday."
Benny commented back a ton of love struck emojis.
Benny shared a side by side of him dressed as a teddy bear in Selena's 'I Can't Get Enough' music video five years ago and her cuddling a huge teddy bear recently.
He captioned the post: "i used to play a teddy bear in ur music video and now i get to b urs in real life… happy bday bb ! i love u !"
The Only Murders In The Building actress was seen cosying up to Benny at a basketball game on April 22nd. At the game they were also seen chatting to Iconic musician Sting - not bad for a Monday night out!
They looked happy as ever with Selena displaying a beaming smile.
On Friday 12th April Selena shared some more in-love photos of herself and Benny, including one where he kissed her on the hand during a selfie.
She also posted a snap of them sharing a kiss – cuties!
Selena's posts came after she shut down Instagram rumours she dated John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, from 2020 to 2021. “Never met this human sorry,” she replied to a social media post claiming they'd been together.
She really said, 'moving on...'
Selena had the cutest birthday message for boyfriend Benny on 8th March, penning a message to explain how much she loves him. She wrote: "Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humour and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you."
That weekend they celebrated with their closest friends including Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola and even Brooklyn's little brother Cruz.
Selena has a super close relationship with her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short and she's now introduced them to her new love Benny. In pictures obtained by TMZ, the Hulu actors are seen at the Emmys – where Only Murders was up for 11 awards – getting acquainted with the musician.
Before the event kicked off Selena was also seen giving them both a huge hug – these three!
Selena was joined by boyfriend Benny Blanco after making a solo appearance at the Golden Globes, catching up with him after the red carpet ceremony. Selena posted a photo of them together at the end of the night, captioned: "I won."
In the snap they can't keep their lips off each other in what looks like a picture taken backstage at the event.
Selena and her new boyfriend made sure to show the world how serious they are about each other when they attended the Los Angeles Lakers V Miami Heat in LA, looking super loved-up as they packed on the PDA courtside.
Selena even sweetly rested her head on Benny's shoulder mid-way through the game, while he was papped giving her a kiss on the hand.
On 2nd January after they no doubt rang in the New Year together, Benny shared a couple of candid pictures of girlfriend Selena. Sat outdoors somewhere sunny, Selena grinned at the camera before bashfully covering her face with her hands.
Benny left the pictures caption-free but Selena looked happy and relaxed – and a little cold – in the cute snaps.
While making crab cakes with Olivia Tiedemann in an Instagram video, Benny sweetly called his girlfriend 'perfect'.
Olivia said to him mid-way through: “We've all heard the news you have a super hot girlfriend." To which he said: "We're not talking about that." However he dipped back into the video to say: "She's perfect!"
Cuteness!
Whilst in New York, celebrating Taylor Swift's 34th birthday, Selena shared an Instagram carousel of pictures captioned: "New York, my favourite moments w you this week"
The last was of her laying on Benny's lap while they shared a kiss. He also featured in the second picture with his arms around her at what looks like a dinner party with friends - super cute!
After confirming in the comments section of a Popfactions’ Instagram post that she and Benny are indeed dating, Selena shared a photo on Instagram Stories of a ring on her wedding finger, with a diamond-encrusted ‘B’ – for ‘Benny’ – above a square diamond.
She hasn't addressed whether or not they are actually engaged, but we are sure she'd explain more if she were.
On December 4th Popfactions posted "Selena Gomez seemingly confirms that’s she is in a relationship" with some info about her and Benny Blanco.
Selena wasted no time to confirm the news by commenting: "Facts"
She later revealed that they had been together for six months when responding to a fan trolling her over an old comment she left on Just Bieber's account years ago.
The fan wrote: “If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your boyfriend lol – it should be special between you two only. don’t be mad at your fans. they love you"
To which she replied: “Not mad. It’s been 6 months bb. I will always defend my friends family and fans till the day I die."
That means they have been been dating since June 2023.
