This love story has been in the making for a while—over a year, to be exact. Selena and Benny first started dating in June 2023, but their history goes way back. The pair met in 2015 during the production of Selena’s Revival album, teaming up on hits like “Kill Em with Kindness” and “Same Old Love.” Over the years, their professional bond deepened with collaborations like Benny’s 2019 track “I Can’t Get Enough” and Selena’s recent bop, “Single Soon.”
Their friendship eventually turned romantic, with Benny making headlines as one of Selena’s special guests at her 31st birthday party in July 2023. Just a few months later, they went public with their relationship, treating fans to a cozy NYC photo dump that included a sweet kiss moment. Since then, they’ve been inseparable, attending events hand-in-hand and sharing all the warm and fuzzy couple vibes online.
As for the proposal, Selena called Benny her “everything” and shared how he makes her feel safe and happy. Although there’s no wedding date yet, it’s clear that these two are absolutely smitten and ready to start their next chapter.
