To the thrill of all right-thinking people, Selena Gomez seems to have found her perfect partner in record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco, who became the Only Murders in the Building star’s fiancé in December. Below, find a quick timeline of Gomez and Blanco’s relationship, from the first song they released together (ah, 2019; were we ever so young?) to their recent engagement.
March 2019: Gomez and Blanco release their first collab
The two artists released the reggaeton song “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin a whopping six years ago. No, they weren’t known to be involved at the time, but surely some sparks flew in the recording booth?
October 2023: Blanco attends the inaugural Rare Impact Fund Benefit
In a sweet sign of things to come, Blanco could be seen wielding a bidding paddle at a fundraiser for Gomez’s Rare Impact Fund in the fall of 2023. (Gallant!) Gomez returned the supportive gesture a few weeks later, promoting his cookbook on her Stories.

Two months later, Gomez used a cheeky series of Instagram Stories to soft-launch her relationship with Blanco, beginning with a December 7 selfie in which her head rests against his chest. Intimate!
December 2023: Gomez puts a ring on it (but not that kind of ring)
Is there anything more adorable than wearing your partner’s initial on a piece of jewelry? Gomez continued her Stories soft launch with the shot of a 14-carat diamond “B” ring (presumably for Benny, in case you needed that spelled out) on her finger in December 2023.
Stories are all well and good, but PDA memorialized on the Instagram grid is forever.
