Barely two hours after confirming her relationship with record producer Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez was on the defensive, arguing with fans on Instagram who questioned whether Blanco, 36, is a good match for the 31-year-old.
“Then why is he the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” Gomez replied after a fan shared their disapproval. “He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with,” she added, seeming to shade all of her exes.
How did we get here? Good question. Read on for a complete timeline of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship, with the most recent developments at the top, including how they first met, where they are now, and why some fans were so up in arms about the whole thing.
April 30, 2024: Blanco shares yet another recipe he makes to “get laid.” The producer posted an Instagram video about his signature steak, which is apparently an aphrodisiac to Gomez.
“I woke up early this morning, and I was like, ‘I want to do something nice for my girlfriend,’” he says in the video. “I was thinking, Whenever I want to put a smile on her face or get laid, I just make her steak.”
If you think Gomez was offended, she wasn’t. The 31-year-old commented a single red heart emoji on Blanco’s video.

I’m no chef, but I wonder if fried pickles might pair well with steak…
April 25, 2024: Blanco opens up about the start of his relationship with Gomez in a new interview with the Wall Street Journal magazine.
“I was the last one to know,” Blanco said of his feelings for Gomez. “It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, Wait, I’m in love.”
