Love is undoubtedly in the air this year!

There's something truly heartwarming about seeing your favorite<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/every-live-action-disney-princess-movie"> Disney star</a> all loved up in a happy relationship. After steering clear of serious commitments for the past six years, actress and singer<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-achieve-selena-gomez-minimalist-manicure-high-gloss-nails-celebrity-beauty"> Selena Gomez</a> is officially off the market. And who could blame her for taking her time? Her final breakup with her longtime on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/justin-bieber-style-evolution-songs-baby" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Bieber</a> was undoubtedly way too highly publicized, making it a tumultuous ride neither of them enjoyed. So, it wasn't much of a surprise that Gomez took her time before opening herself up to love once again. After all, it's one thing to go through a breakup and another to experience the whole world weighing in on your relationship. However, if you've been keeping tabs on social media lately, you'd know that that's no longer the case. And we couldn't be happier for her! Now, who's the lucky man, you ask? It's none other than eleven-time <a href="https://www.grammy.com/artists/benny-blanco/11722" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy-nominated</a> music producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.&nbsp;
Whether or not you're a fan of this new romance, there's no denying a sparkle of genuine affection in Alex Ru- I mean, Selena Gomez's eyes. To all the die-hard #<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-love-triangles-justin-bieber-selena-gomez-hailey-bieber-kardashian-jenner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jelena</a> fans out there, we hate (love) to break it to you, but they've both obviously moved on. Trust us, we totally understand your nostalgia for the past, but it's time to face the music. I mean, come on, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/hailey-bieber-wedding-dress-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bieber has been married for five years</a>&mdash;it's time (long overdue) to accept that it's clearly not going to happen again. And it's all for the best. At the end of the day, what matters most is the fact that both Gomez and Bieber are in healthier relationships now, and that's a positive step forward for both of them.
Interestingly, while Benny Blanco marks Gomez's first serious relationship in a hot minute, Justin Bieber wasn't actually the last person she was romantically linked with. In fact, rumors swirled about her dating Niall Horan in 2019, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/chris-evans-captain-america-said-no-turned-down-role-why" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Evans</a> in 2021, and Drew Taggart in 2022. But, given that this is the first time Gomez has been public about her dating life in years, it must be serious.&nbsp;
You've probably caught glimpses of the new couple's whirlwind romance, from their intimate moments shared on social media to sitting courtside together at basketball games. And, even if you're up-to-date on the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/selena-gomez-rare-beauty-powder-blush-shimmer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rare Beauty</a> founder's personal life, you might be lost in the sauce of all the deets of her relationship with her new beau. Not to worry, L'OFFICIEL has certainly stayed in the know, and we're here to break down every moment in Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's relationship timeline.

Selena Gomez - Same Old Love

Though Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco didn't officially start dating until sometime in mid-2023, the two met while Blanco worked as a co-producer for Gomez's hit single "Same Old Love." Ah, if only they knew where their relationship would be eight years later.

Four years later, the two collaborated on a song entitled "I Can't Get Enough" alongside J Balvin and Tainy. All four artists starred in the music video&mdash;Blanco and Gomez even had a couple of cute scenes together, including one where they were playfully jumping on a bed. But it wasn't their time just yet.&nbsp;

The two first sparked dating rumors in December 2023 when Selena Gomez posted a story on Instagram promoting Benny Blanco's new cookbook. "One of my favs releasing a cook book," Gomez wrote in the post. Of course, leave it up to loyal Selenators to catch on to their idol's new relationship before everyone else.&nbsp;
It didn't take long for the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/celebrity-guest-stars-only-murders-in-the-building-hulu-tv-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Only Murders in the Building</a> star to put rumors to bed by leaving a string of comments on different Instagram posts speculating on her love life. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Gomez commented, "He is my absolute everything in my heart." Additionally, in another Instagram post, she stated that she and Blanco had been dating for six months at the time.
Soon after, the "<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/selena-gomez-single-soon-teaser-new-music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Single Soon</a>" singer hard launched her new relationship with a couple of posts, including a photo of her and Blanco kissing. "New York, my favorite moments w you this week 🤍," she captioned the post.

"I won," Gomez captioned one of her Instagram stories.&nbsp;

"My bes fwend," she captioned the post. Adorable!

March 2024

Given their PDA-packed romance, it's clear that Selena Gomez could not care any less about whether her fans approve of her dating life. For Benny's birthday, Selena posted a few romantic photos and videos. She captioned the post, "Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me.
