Selena Gomez has captivated the world not just with her talent but also with her high-profile love life.
From her infamous on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber to her current engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, Selena’s romantic journey has been full of ups and downs.
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and revisit her relationship history.
Selena’s first brush with celebrity romance was with Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers in 2008.
During their brief relationship, Selena even appeared in the music video for the band’s hit song, Burnin’ Up .
Though their young love didn’t last, there was no bad blood.
Years later, Selena clarified that there was no feud between her and Miley Cyrus , who also dated Nick around the same time.
She told W Magazine in 2016, “We never feuded. We both liked the same guy when we were 16… We are now completely settled in our own lives.”
Selena briefly dated Twilight star Taylor Lautner in 2009.
The two met while Selena was filming Ramona and Beezus and Taylor was working on The Twilight Saga: New Moon .
She later revealed that the intense public attention on their relationship made things difficult.
“People were getting a little crazy about us,”Selena shared with Seventeen magazine. Their romance was short-lived, but they remained amicable.

Selena’s most talked-about relationship was her tumultuous on-again, off-again romance with Justin Bieber.
The pair first sparked dating rumors in 2009 when Justin serenaded Selena during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve .
Over the years, the duo attended red carpet events together and became a fan-favorite couple, dubbed “Jelena.”
Their relationship faced multiple ups and downs, with breakups reportedly fueled by jealousy and public scrutiny.
In 2014, Selena discovered photos of Kylie Jenner on Justin’s phone, leading to another breakup.
They rekindled their romance in late 2017, but it ended for good in March 2018, just months before Justin’s engagement to Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber).
Selena later called the breakup “the best thing that ever happened to her” in her Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me , stating, “I had to go through the worst heartbreak ever to choose myself and life again.”
She channeled her pain into music, releasing the emotional breakup anthems Lose You to Love Me and Look at Her Now .
In 2014, Selena was linked to Lord of the Rings actor Orlando Bloom.
Rumors swirled that the two hooked up to make their respective exes, Miranda Kerr and Justin Bieber, jealous.
However, Selena and Orlando denied the rumors when they were spotted together at a Chelsea Handler comedy show.
In early 2015, Selena began dating DJ and producer Zedd after collaborating on the hit song I Want You to Know .
Zedd later opened up about the pressures of dating someone as famous as Selena.
“Reporters were calling my parents. People were hacking my friends’ phones,” he shared in a 2017 interview with Elle .
Despite the challenges, the pair seemed happy during their brief romance.
Selena’s 2016 relationship with singer Charlie Puth was, in his words, “very short-lived, very small, but very impactful.”
Charlie hinted that Selena’s lingering feelings for Justin Bieber complicated their relationship.
Fans speculated about the tension when Charlie shouted “F**k you, Justin Bieber” during a concert.
Selena and The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, went public in January 2017.
The couple enjoyed a whirlwind romance, appearing together at the Met Gala and traveling internationally.
However, their busy schedules led to their split in October 2017.
Fans speculated that Selena’s rekindled friendship with Justin Bieber played a role in their breakup.
The Weeknd’s EP My Dear Melancholy featured lyrics that seemed to reference their relationship, including an allusion to Selena’s kidney transplant.
“I almost cut a piece of myself for your life,” he sang, hinting at a willingness to donate his organ.
In late 2022, Selena was linked to The Chainsmokers’ Andrew Taggart.
The two were spotted on dates in New York City, but by March 2023, Selena declared herself single, posting on TikTok, “Still out here lookin’ for him lol.”
In March 2023, rumors surfaced that Selena was dating former One Direction member Zayn Malik.
The pair were reportedly seen holding hands and sharing a kiss during a dinner date in New York City.
However, by June 2023, the romance had fizzled out, and Selena unfollowed Zayn on Instagram.
Selena’s journey to finding lasting love seemingly ended with music producer Benny Blanco.
The two confirmed their relationship in December 2023, and just a year later, Benny proposed with a dazzling diamond ring.
Announcing their engagement on Instagram, Selena shared a heartfelt post with the caption, “ Forever begins now.”
Despite some criticism from fans about Benny’s past comments on pop stars, Selena defended their relationship, calling him “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
She emphasized her happiness, saying, “If you can’t accept me at my happiest, then don’t be in my life at all.”
