Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco: Love, Music, and More

Are Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco still together?

Yes – Gomez and Blanco went public with their romance in late 2023 and announced an engagement by December 2024 .  

Since then they’ve stayed inseparable in the headlines.  Insider reports tell PEOPLE the couple is “so in love” and taking their relationship seriously, even making long-distance work as Gomez shoots projects in New York . 

Selena herself gushed that Benny makes her feel special and that he treats her “better than anyone” she’s ever dated .  

In short, they’re very much together and thriving as of 2025.

Who has Benny Blanco dated?

Blanco has kept past romances mostly private. 

His only widely known ex is model Elsie Hewitt, whom he met on the set of a 2019 music video. 

The two went Instagram-official that year but quietly split in 2020 .  

Beyond Elsie, Benny didn’t have any other public long-term relationships. Now his only headline romance is with Selena.  

In fact, a timeline of his dating history lists just Elsie Hewitt (2019–20) and now fiancée Selena Gomez.  

Benny’s preference seems to be keeping love life low-key!

How old was Selena when she met Benny?

They first crossed paths back in 2019, when Selena (born July 1992) was about 26 or 27 years old.  

They collaborated on her song “I Can’t Get Enough” that year, and friendship slowly turned romantic.

In other words, she met Benny in her mid-20s, long before their relationship became public in 2023.

Are Selena and Benny engaged?

Yes.  After about a year of dating, Gomez and Blanco revealed their engagement in December 2024 . 

• Selena posted photos of a massive diamond ring, and Blanco cheekily commented “hey wait… that’s my wife,” cementing the news .  

So far they’re enjoying being fiancés – attending red carpets together and even planning a future Jewish wedding tradition  .  

No wedding date yet, but engagement is official!

Did Justin Bieber unfollow Benny Blanco?

• Rumor mills buzzed that Justin Bieber unfollowed Blanco on Instagram during a mid-February 2025 “social media purge.”  

Fan accounts pointed out that Justin quietly dropped celebrities like Drake, The Weeknd and notably Benny Blanco from his follow list .  

However, neither Justin nor Benny confirmed any falling-out. 

In fact, Cosmopolitan noted that this unfollowing is still “alleged,” since Bieber’s account was famously hacked around that time and he later made statements suggesting he wasn’t actually responsible for the purge.  

In short, reports did say Justin unfollowed Benny, but the situation remains unclear and may not have been intentional.

Is Benny Blanco still friends with Justin Bieber?

They used to be.  Benny and Justin go way back – Blanco co-wrote and produced hits like Justin’s “Lonely,” and the two even performed together at events  .  

But Justin’s recent social-media moves have raised eyebrows about their friendship.  

Sources have noted that Justin’s once-solid friendship with Benny now seems “less than solid” after the unfollow drama.  

There’s no public statement on any rift, so they may still be on friendly terms, but fans are clearly wondering if things cooled off.  

In any case, Justin hasn’t made any further collaborative news with Benny since, and the Instagram purge suggests at least a temporary strain  .

Who is Benny Blanco married to?

He isn’t married – he’s currently engaged.  As of 2025, Benny Blanco has no spouse.  

His most significant other is Selena Gomez, whom he’s engaged to.  

The couple are planning a wedding, but no marriage certificate is yet on record.  

So the direct answer is: Benny Blanco isn’t married to anyone; he’s simply Selena Gomez’s fiancé .

What is Benny Blanco’s religion?

Benny Blanco is Jewish.  Selena and Benny have even talked about honoring Jewish traditions at their future wedding (Selena doesn’t plan to convert, but they will incorporate things like the hora dance).  

Media reports explicitly call Blanco Gomez’s “Jewish fiancé”, confirming his religion.  

Blanco has talked about his Jewish identity in interviews, and in public appearances he sometimes includes Jewish customs, so there’s no doubt about it.

Who is Selena Gomez’s relationship?

Selena Gomez is currently engaged to Benny Blanco.  

(For context: before Benny, she famously dated Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, ibut those chapters are closed.)  

In 2025 she’s firmly partnered with Blanco – she even calls him her “wifey” in Instagram comments  and has publicly declared him “my absolute everything” in love.  

Their relationship is Selena’s main romance right now.

Does Justin Bieber have a tattoo of Selena Gomez?

He did – sort of.  

Years ago, Bieber famously got a portrait tattoo of Selena on his arm.  

After they broke up the first time, Justin admitted on camera that he tried to cover it up (“This is my ex-girlfriend, so I tried to cut her face up with some shading,” he said in a 2016 interview ).  

That original Selena tattoo is no longer visible in its original form (he even modified the “Selena” name on his arm to “Justin” at one point).  

So while Justin once bore Selena’s image in ink, it’s now faded and altered – he certainly isn’t displaying a fresh Selena tattoo as of 2025.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco song

They’re also musical collaborators! 

In early 2025 Selena and Benny surprised fans by dropping their first duet, “Scared of Loving You,” on Valentine’s Day .  

This is just the lead single for their joint album I Said I Love You First (due March 21, 2025) .  

Other tracks from their project are rolling out, with lyric videos like “Bluest Flame,” “Don’t Wanna Cry,” and “How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten” popping up online. 

In short, Selena & Benny aren’t just dating—they’ve teamed up on new music that’s getting released throughout 2025.

Who is richer, Benny Blanco or Selena Gomez?

Selena Gomez is far wealthier.  

Even though Benny Blanco is a hitmaker with a big career, his net worth (around $50 million) is dwarfed by Selena’s fortune.  

Gomez, thanks largely to her hugely successful Rare Beauty line, is actually a billionaire (estimated ~$1.3 billion)  .  

In fact, media outlets point out that Selena’s wealth is “a mere fraction” of Selena’s  – in other words, she’s orders of magnitude richer than Benny.  

So Selena wins the rich-versus-rich contest handily.

Did Benny Blanco kiss Beyonce?

Yes – but it was an accident.  

Blanco told media he once found himself at the legendary Beyoncé/JAY-Z Hamptons party, where at the end of the night he leaned in to give Beyoncé a goodbye peck on the cheek.  

He completely missed and ended up kissing her on the lips, with JAY-Z watching nearby .  

The whole moment freaked him out (“I thought I was dead,” he joked).  

It was never any scandal – just one of those cringe-worthy celebrity moments Blanco has since laughed off.

Where does Justin fall here? Who was Justin Bieber’s first love?

In this story, Justin Bieber appears mainly as Selena’s ex.  

Selena and Justin famously dated as teens (with a few reunions) , and now Justin is married to Hailey.  

He’s not otherwise involved in Selena’s new romance with Benny.  

As for Justin’s own “first love”: that credit goes to Caitlin Beadles, his very first girlfriend back in 2008–09 when he was working with Usher in Atlanta .  

Caitlin inspired Justin’s song “Never Let You Go” before he ever got involved with Selena .  

So, Justin’s part in this story is just as a famous ex of Selena’s, whereas his own romantic beginnings trace back to Caitlin Beadles.

Which celebrity unfollowed Hailey?

That would be Justin Bieber himself – or at least his Instagram account seemed to.  

In January 2025 fans noticed Justin’s account wasn’t following his wife Hailey anymore.  

He even issued a statement saying “someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife” .  

In other words, Justin clarified it was a glitch/hack rather than him unfriending Hailey.  

No other big celebrity was confirmed to unfollow Hailey, so the only one in that situation was Justin (and even he claims it wasn’t intentional)  .
