29 september 2025 в 10:13
In 2023, Selena Gomez openly admitted that she was enjoying her single life, often joking about her marital status on TikTok and even releasing her song «Single Soon». At that time, she denied speculation about her personal life, although she was briefly linked to Drew Taggart from The Chainsmokers, insisting that she was happily unmarried.
Fast forward to the present, and everything has changed. Selena is now married to record producer Benny Blanco, confirming their relationship at the end of 2023 before getting married in 2025. The couple, who had known each other for many years through their musical collaborations, turned their friendship into a love story that captured the hearts of fans.
Throughout 2023, 31-year-old Selena Gomez did not hesitate to share her single family status. However, the singer and actress recently confirmed that she is dating record producer Benny Blanco.
Although Selena’s relationship history includes star-studded romances with celebrities such as Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, and others, she is now focused on her new chapter with Benny. Let’s remember her dating history and how she found lasting love.
When they were young Disney stars, Selena and Nick Jonas began a sweet romance in 2008 after his breakup with Miley Cyrus. Selena even played Nick’s love interest in the Jonas Brothers' 2008 music video «Burnin' Up». Unfortunately, the romance did not last long. In 2015, Selena recalled the innocent crush as «childhood love, you know, it was very cute».
Another one of Selena’s early suitors was none other than «Twilight» star Taylor Lautner! They met in 2009 while filming movies in Vancouver (Selena was filming «Ramona and Beezus» and Taylor was filming «Twilight: New Moon»).
«Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel. [Taylor] was visiting her, so we were constantly running into each other in the hallway — and we met», - Selena explained in a 2009 interview with Seventeen. «We went to lunch and dinner, but I knew that the paparazzi were following him and the paparazzi were following me. So we really just wanted to hang out, go bowling and stuff, and it went a little further, I think. People started going a little crazy about us». However, Selena confirmed that she was single by the time of her interview for Seventeen. Her best friend Taylor Swift then started dating Taylor for a few months later in the same year.
The singer also had a brief romance with internationally renowned DJ Zedd, whom she dated in early 2015 after meeting in the recording studio. They collaborated on the song «I Want You To Know», which was released in February 2015. Before the song was released, they hinted at the collaboration through light social media posts.
«He's this cute German, he has really pretty eyes, he’s really nice and funny», - Selena admired at the time. She also called Zedd «talented» in an interview. By April, they had broken up but remained on good terms. «I really love [him], and I had really strong feelings for him, which was nice», - Selena admitted in July 2015.
Selena also sparked speculation about a romance with One Direction singer Niall Horan in 2015 (and again in 2019) and with «Pirates of the Caribbean» star Orlando Bloom in 2014 and 2016! However, Selena denied the romance speculation in the latter two cases (Niall also denied rumors of a romance for many years in 2020).
Selena and Charlie Puth collaborated on the track «We Don’t Talk Anymore» in 2016, but something else was going on behind the scenes between them. «I'm not going to disclose details, but the only way for a song like ['We Don’t Talk Anymore'] to sound believable is if something else is going on behind the scenes», - Charlie said in an interview with Billboard. «And it was happening [with Gomez]. Very briefly, very little, but very significant. And it really shocked me. I’m trying to say this in the best way: it’s not like I was the only one who experienced this [with Gomez]»
