In July 2023, Gomez poses with Blanco and Paris Hilton at her 31st birthday party, sparking dating rumors that were later confirmed by the former Disney channel star.

On December 7, the Rare Beauty creator confirmed her relationship with Blanco by commenting, 'Facts,' on an Instagram post that shared the headline, 'Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms Relationship With Benny Blanco.'

Just days later, Gomez took to Instagram to give previews on a new Rare Beauty project and Blanco commented using a heart eye emoji. On December 15, she shared a collage of photos captioned, 'New York, my favorite moments [with] you this week,' and the last snapshot captured a kiss between the couple.

In January 2024, the couple made their first public appearance sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game. They were photographed getting cozy, sharing smiles and laughs as they were caught on the Jumbotron.

The Golden Globes were a few days after the couple’s outing and Gomez was nominated for her role in Only Murders in the Building. Though she went home empty-handed, the actress captioned a photo of her sitting on Blanco’s lap via her Instagram Stories, 'I won.'

The couple’s relationship has been a source of joy for Gomez, with a source exclusively telling We, 'Selena and Benny are truly in love and although she has kept most people she’s dated under wraps, with Benny, she couldn’t wait to reveal they were together.'
