Selena Gomez confirmed on Instagram who her latest beau is and later defended him in the comments. Here is who she’s dating now.
Like many in Hollywood, singer/actress Selena Gomez has done her fair share of dating. She’s 30, flirty, and thriving! As her BFF Taylor Swift sings in ‘Blank Space’: “Got a long list of ex-lovers.”
Her long list of ex-lovers includes the likes of Orlando Bloom, Niall Horan, Charlie Puth, and The Weeknd. Of course, then there’s the matter of Justin Bieber, whom she initially dated for four and a half years before entering into an on-again, off-again romance for some time afterward.
But who is she dating now? We’ve got the lowdown on her burgeoning love affair with another mover and shaker in the music business.
Selena Gomez confirmed she’s dating this famous producer
In December 2023, Selena Gomez confirmed the news on Instagram that she’s dating producer Benny Blanco, known for working with the likes of Lil Dicky, Halsey, and Addison Rae, among countless others. She simply posted the word “facts” beneath a now-deleted post made by Popfactions, and fans ran away with the confirmation.
When Gomez was met with confused and sometimes hateful comments, she took to clapping back against her detractors. “I know what’s best for me and I will fight till I get what I deserve,” she said in one comment. “I appreciate your misguided input but I’m growing.”
Many of the comments stemmed from the fact Benny Blanco is good friends with Justin Bieber.

A few days later, a source spoke with Entertainment Tonight, revealing that “things have been going really well between them and Selena is happy. She thinks Benny is very funny and of course, extremely talented. Selena is in a great place in her life and feels content and relaxed. She is enjoying where things are going.”
When did Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first meet?
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco first met when the pair collaborated on ‘I Can’t Get Enough,’ also featuring J Balvin and Tainy, in 2019.
Fast forward four years, and the two musically linked up again for Gomez’s self-empowerment anthem ‘Single Soon,’ which Blanco co-produced with Cashmere Cat. Throughout 2023, Gomez frequently posted on TikTok about how single she was, when, in reality, that was far from the truth.
In one of many Instagram comments defending the relationship, once it was public knowledge, Gomez revealed the two had been dating for six months. That was early December 2023.
Since then, Gomez has been honest about their relationship, mostly in sharing candids on her Instagram Stories. From shots of Blanco making dinner to their first Valentine’s Day together, the photos have been nothing short of adorable.
As of this writing, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been dating for roughly eight months.
