A complete timeline of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's relationship

• Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco confirmed their relationship in December 2023.
• The two musicians have collaborated on several songs, starting in 2015 with Gomez's album "Revival."
• Gomez recently shared photos of the couple kissing at the Golden Globes.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are going strong one month after they went public as a couple.

The two musicians have known each other for at least eight years before things turned romantic. Here's everything we know about their relationship so far.

October 9, 2015: Gomez releases 'Revival,' which includes two collaborations with Blanco

Blanco has built a reputation as a sought-after pop producer, helping to create mega-hits like Kesha's 2009 breakthrough "Tik Tok" and Katy Perry's definitive 2010 anthem "Teenage Dream."

In 2015, he added "Same Old Love" and "Kill Em With Kindness" to his catalog. Both were released as singles from Gomez's second solo album "Revival."

"Same Old Love" was cowritten by Charli XCX and Ross Golan. The song was originally intended for Rihanna before Gomez recorded her own version, so it's unclear if she collaborated directly with Blanco on the song.

However, both Gomez and Blanco are credited as cowriters on "Kill Em With Kindness," which she has described as "lyrically my favorite song" from "Revival."

At the time of the album's release, Gomez was still heavily associated with her on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber, though she was actively trying to change that narrative.

February 28, 2019: Blanco releases 'I Can't Get Enough' featuring Gomez, Tainy, and J Balvin

Blanco began making his own music in 2018. The following year, he released "I Can't Get Enough" as a standalone single.

The song features Gomez, who sings the lead vocal in English, and J Balvin, who sings his verse in Spanish. It was coproduced by Tainy. All four artists appear together in the music video.

Blanco promoted the song on Instagram, sharing several photos of himself cuddling with Gomez on set.

"Benny has a cool way of bringing people together, even in the weirdest ways," Gomez said in behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot.

October 26, 2020: Blanco seems to throw shade at Gomez while promoting a new song with her ex-boyfriend

Blanco and Bieber became "brothers" back in 2009, in Blanco's own words. Over the years, they've worked together on hits like "Eenie Meenie," "Love Yourself," and "Cold Water."

In 2020, Blanco cowrote and coproduced "Lonely," the second single from Bieber's sixth album, "Justice."

Shortly after the song's release, Blanco discussed his close friendship with Bieber during an interview with Zach Sang.

"Justin's not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists," Blanco said. "Like you know, they're like, 'This is my new single and here's my makeup line.' And he's like, Justin's like, 'Yo. I have a pimple and I have anxiety today.' He's always been upfront about that stuff."

Since Gomez had recently unveiled her own makeup line, Rare Beauty, her fans interpreted this comment as a thinly veiled insult. They also accused Blanco of hypocrisy, since Gomez has been upfront about anxiety and depression throughout her career.

At the time, representatives for Blanco did not respond to Business Insider's request for comment, nor did he publicly address the backlash.

August 25, 2023: Gomez releases 'Single Soon,' coproduced by Blanco

Gomez and Blanco teamed up again for "Single Soon," released as a standalone song.

"Y'all have been asking for new music for a while," she announced on Instagram, adding that she's "not quite done" with her next album, the hotly anticipated follow-up to 2020's "Rare."

"I wanted to put out a fun little song I wrote a while back that's perfect for the end of summer," she wrote.

In the music video, Gomez pays homage to Carrie Bradshaw and celebrates a boyfriend-free lifestyle.

December 2023: Gomez and Blanco become Instagram official

Gomez revealed her romance with Blanco in her Instagram story on December 7, 2023. She shared a photo of the couple cuddling and a photo of herself wearing the letter "B" on her left ring finger.

When fan accounts picked up the news, some reacted with disappointment or concern — mostly due to Blanco's perceived insult from 2020, as well as his enduring friendship with Bieber, whom Gomez accused of emotional abuse.

Gomez replied to several negative comments on Instagram, defending Blanco and describing him as "the best thing that's ever happened to me." Although it's unclear when their relationship turned romantic, Gomez implied they'd been dating for six months.

"If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don't feel free to say whatever you want," she wrote. "But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I'm done. If you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in my life at all."

She also addressed a critic who alluded to Blanco's "cookie-cutter" comment, writing, "you're just corny omg that man was shading you years ago." Gomez replied, "lol yeah and he's still better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts."

She added in another comment that Blanco "has treated me better than any human being on this planet."

Throughout the month, Gomez continued to post photos with Blanco on Instagram. She shared another black-and-white shot of the couple cuddling on December 12, 2023 and a photo of him kissing her cheek on December 30, 2023.

Blanco even made it onto Gomez's Instagram grid; he appears twice in a slideshow she posted with the caption, "New York, my favorite moments w you this week." One of the photos shows the couple kissing.

January 3, 2024: The couple has their first public outing at a basketball game

Blanco and Gomez sat courtside at Crypto.com Arena to watch the Los Angeles Lakers take on the Miami Heat.

That same day, Blanco shared two snaps of Gomez in his Instagram story.

"She seems to be really feeling herself at the moment," a source close to Gomez told People. "Maybe that's Benny or maybe that's just where she's at personally and professionally."

"Everyone is so happy that she's happy," the source added.

January 7, 2024: Gomez brings Blanco as her date to the Golden Globes

Gomez attended the 2024 Golden Globes as a nominee; she earned a nod for best performance by a female actor in a TV series, musical or comedy, for "Only Murders in the Building." (She lost to Ayo Edebiri for "The Bear.")

Although they didn't walk the red carpet together, Gomez and Blanco weren't shy about PDA inside the event.

Later that evening, Gomez shared several photos with Blanco on Instagram, including one of them kissing with the caption, "I won."
