Selena and Benny started working together on her second studio album «Revival» in 2015. Benny was credited in her songs «Kill Em With Kindness» and «Same Old Love».

The duo collaborated again on Selena’s track «I Can’t Get Enough». Based on their working relationship, it seemed that the pair had developed a strong friendship over the years.

According to Selena’s public comment indicating that she and Benny have been dating for «six months» already, this means that the couple started their romantic relationship in June 2023. The «Lose You to Love Me» artist confirmed this timeline in December 2023 in an Instagram comment, responding to a fan’s comment that seemed to reference an old comment Selena left on Justin Bieber’s Instagram page several years ago.

«If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your boyfriend, lol — it should be special between you two only. Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you [sic]», - a commenter wrote on Instagram, to which Selena replied: «Don't be mad. It’s been 6 months, baby. I will always protect my friends, family, and fans until the day I die [sic]».

Benny attended the Rare Beauty’s Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health event in Los Angeles.

A month before publicly announcing their relationship, Selena congratulated Benny on the release of his cookbook «Open Wide» on her Instagram Stories.

In that month, the well-known account Pop Factions reported that Selena and Benny were dating. The account also posted a post stating that Selena’s mom, Mandy Teefey, followed Benny on Instagram.

Selena officially confirmed that she is dating Benny. The Disney Channel actress shared a black and white photo through her Instagram Stories, leaning on someone who appeared to be Benny. She also responded to comments from several fans on a fan account on Instagram. In one of her responses, Selena wrote: «He's my everything in my heart».

Selena brought Benny to the Golden Globes award ceremony, and even shared a passionate photo of them kissing after the ceremony. Although she did not win the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy Series, she wrote «I won» on that cute picture.

Speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Selena opened up about the inspiration for her single «Love On» and said she feels «most safe» in her relationship with Benny.

«Without going into detail, I think it’s very important to meet someone who respects you», - she explained. «And I think it’s very nice to also lean on someone who understands the world I live in. But, I have to say, overall it’s the safest I’ve ever felt, and it’s been really wonderful, and I’ve just grown through it, so it’s great».

Benny briefly opened up about his and Selena’s home life, promoting his cookbook during an appearance on TalkShopLive.

«We always cook together, it’s not just for her show», - said the music professional. «She's an incredible cook. We have so much fun. All we do is eat».
