Who Is Selena Gomez's Fiancé? All About Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez has a fiancé!

The singer announced her engagement to producer Benny Blanco in December 2024, showing off her sparkly engagement ring on Instagram. "forever begins now..," she wrote in her caption.

The news comes one year after she confirmed her romance Blanco when she liked a series of posts about the pair dating. Under one post from PopFaction that read, “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship,” Gomez simply commented, “Facts.”

"He is my absolute everything in my heart," she wrote in a different comment, before replying to a fan, "then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end."

The couple have been going strong ever since, and Blanco was by her side when they attended the 2024 Golden Globes together.

In November 2024, Blanco told PEOPLE that mornings are his favorite time to spend with Gomez. "I have a true best friend that I get to do everything in the world with, and every day is the best day of my life," he said.

Despite not going public with their relationship until late 2023, the two have actually known each other for a few years, previously working on the 2019 hit English-Spanish single, “I Can't Get Enough.”

In fact, Blanco has teamed up with a number of A-list artists over the years, ranging from everyone from Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry to Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.

So who is Selena Gomez's fiancé? Here’s everything to know about Benny Blanco and his relationship with the actress.

He’s a Pisces 

Blanco was born on March 8, 1988, in Reston, Virginia, making him a Pisces. This is certainly very in line with Blanco’s career as Pisces tend to be very musically inclined. 

He’s a producer 

After co-producing and co-writing a number of hit singles in the late 2000s, Blanco has made a big name for himself in the music industry.

He’s also an artist in his own right, releasing his debut single as a lead artist titled "Eastside" in 2018 alongside Halsey and Khalid.

He has collaborated with big artists 

Blanco has worked with some A-list artists through the years, with some of the most notable being Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry, Kesha, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Kanye West as well as two of Gomez’s exes, The Weeknd and Justin Bieber.

He has won awards 

In addition to working with some big names, Blanco has won notable awards. In 2013, he was a recipient of the Hal David Starlight Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and in 2017, he won the iHeartRadio Producer of the Year Award. He has also won the BMI Songwriter of the Year Award five times. 

He added another accolade to the list in 2024, when he won the BMI President's Award.

He founded two labels 

In collaboration with Interscope Records, Blanco has founded two labels, Mad Love Records and Friends Keep Secrets.

He has known Selena Gomez for a few years 

Blanco previously worked with Gomez in 2019 on the single “I Can't Get Enough.” In addition to producing the track, Blanco also sang the English-Spanish track alongside Gomez, Tainy and J Balvin. 

In December 2023, Gomez seemed to confirmed their relationship for the first time as she liked a series of posts about them dating. She then shared a selfie of the two of them to her own Instagram Story.

Though his relationship with Gomez is no longer new, Blanco told PEOPLE that they still "go all out for each other" when it comes to date nights.

"One time Sel was like, 'Oh, I want to take you on a date." We drove somewhere and she had rented out a whole botanical garden for me," he said. "She also likes something so simple. For Valentine's Day, I got her Taco Bell, I made her movie-theater nachos, I found her favorite pickles from Texas and I deep-fried them for her. Then [I had] all her candies and Hot Cheetos."

He and Selena Gomez announced their engagement in December 2024

Gomez shared the news that she and Blanco were engaged with a post on Instagram that showed off her diamond ring.

The carousel also included photos of the couple together as they celebrated their engagement, and Gomez can be seen sitting on a picnic blanket alongside a feast from Taco Bell.

Gomez's friend Taylor Swift was one of the first to offer up her congratulations, commenting, "yes I will be the flower girl."
