The couple first crossed paths professionally in 2019 when they collaborated on ‘I Can’t Get Enough.’ However, their relationship began years later, with the pair officially starting to date in June 2023. However, as per People, the duo started dating in secret, way before the official confirmation. Since 2023, the couple has shared affectionate moments on social media, showcasing their love for each other. The duo has also been seen together at various public events, including the Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys. They also attended a basketball game between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers in April together.

Meanwhile, when questioned earlier about his future and his idea of becoming a father on The Howard Stern Show, Benny Blanco teased fans. He said, “That’s my next goal, to check the box. I have a ton of good kids; I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.” When probed if he wished to have kids with his girlfriend Selena, Benny responded, “It’s always a topic of conversation for me every day.” Moreover, during his appearance on the Today Show, Benny shared his disbelief about dating Selena. “I wake up every day, and I look in the mirror, and I’m like, ‘How did this happen?’ But until anyone figures it out, whee.”
