Selena Gomez isn’t hiding her happiness. At the end of December last year, the singer confessed that her heart was taken. Her chosen one is 36-year-old musician and producer Benny Blanco. A few years ago, Benny was friends with Selena’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, and helped him create music.
Paparazzi caught Selena in Benny’s arms while they were walking on the streets of Los Angeles. Photographers were able to snap the couple in an intimate moment. Selena was dressed in a long dark blue coat and blue jeans, while Benny wore a hoodie over a vintage 1990s T-shirt featuring Lucy Van Pelt from the classic *Peanuts* comic strip. Selena kept her face hidden under a beige scarf.
Many fans suspect that Benny has already proposed, prompted by a photo in which Selena seemed to be covering her ring finger with an emoji, as though hiding something. Later, paparazzi spotted her out again, holding a phone, sunglasses, and chips—but the bright gleam of a gold ring on her ring finger was clearly visible.
However, Selena and Benny have not rushed to confirm the engagement rumors. What they *do* share are frequent posts of the singer with her boyfriend, either kissing him or hiding in his embrace. “Your emotional resilience, positivity, your incredible talent (which completely blows me away), undeniable sense of humor, and loving, kind heart just knock me out. I love you,” Selena wrote in a social media post.
Selena started dating Benny in 2023, after five years of being single following her breakup with Justin Bieber. The couple had a tumultuous relationship, often fighting and breaking up, while also briefly seeing other people. In 2015, Selena dated Zedd, while Justin began a relationship with Hailey Baldwin. Soon after, they reunited, only to part ways for good in 2018.
