A Full Rundown Of Selena Gomez’s Dating History
Here’s everyone she’s loved like a love song.
After quite a few public relationships, Selena Gomez has opted to keep her private life private. That is, until she started dating Benny Blanco. Since the duo got together in 2023, she’s been open about enjoying the honeymoon phase of their relationship (which, TBH, seems to be ongoing).
This approach is a noticeable change for Gomez. The last time she went public with a relationship was when she dating the Weeknd back in 2017.
In those interim years, Gomez opted to keep her relationship status ambiguous. But in August 2022, she shared what she hoped to find in the future. “I hope to be married and to be a mom,” she said on TaTaTu’s podcast Giving Back Generation, per Us Weekly.
“I want a husband, and I want that kind of touch. I think my love language would have to be physical touch … and acts of service,” Gomez continued at the time. “The older I’ve gotten, the more I really appreciate that.”
It’s clear that Gomez has now found exactly what she was looking for. Now that the actress is happily engaged, let’s take a closer look at the journey that led her to Blanco. Here’s a closer look at Gomez’s full dating history.
2008: Nick Jonas
Gomez's first public relationship was with the youngest Jonas Brother, whom she reportedly dated for a few months in 2008 when they were both up-and-coming Disney stars.
Gomez even appeared in Jonas' music video for "Burnin' Up," where she played his love interest. Though their relationship was brief, the two still seem to be on good terms. When asked about their relationship in 2015 by Capital FM, Gomez said that it "was like puppy love, you know, it was very sweet."
During a Therapuss interview in August, Gomez revealed that “best thing” about her romance with Jonas was that it led to her friendship with Taylor Swift. “Taylor and I dated the Jonas Brothers. I dated Nick and she dated Joe,” Gomez said. “Everything was cute, we were young. We all know and love each other now. But she and I like to say the best thing we got out of those relationships was each other, because it was really sweet.”
2009: Taylor Lautner
Believe it or not, Gomez and Jacob Black — er, Taylor Lautner — briefly dated in 2009. The two reportedly met in Vancouver while she was filming Ramona and Beezus, and he was shooting Twilight: New Moon. "Kristen [Stewart] was staying in my hotel," Gomez told Seventeen in August 2009. "He would visit her, so we were constantly running into each other in the lobby — and we ended up meeting."
Gomez and Lautner went on a few dates after that, but the incessant paparazzi attention finally compelled them to part ways.
It may not have worked out, but Gomez told the magazine that it was a lot of fun while it lasted. "He is so sweet," she said. "Taylor has made me so happy. I didn't know I could be that happy."
2010-2014 & 2017-2018: Justin Bieber
Gomez and Bieber's epic relationship reportedly began at an IHOP in Philadelphia in December 2010, hours before they both performed at the Q102 Jingle Ball. At the time, Gomez denied anything romantic, telling MTV, “We were both performing in the same place, so we went and had pancakes together. That's all it is. All innocent."
But soon after, photos were snapped of the two kissing in St. Lucia, and then they showed up together at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, all but confirming their romance.
But then their timeline got complicated. They reportedly broke up in May 2012, reconciled in December 2012, broke up again in January 2013, reconciled again sometime later in 2013, broke up again in November 2014, dated other people, reconciled again in November 2017, and broke up for a final time in the spring of 2018.
In June 2018, Justin was spotted with his old flame (and future wife) Hailey Baldwin in Miami, and the saga of Jelena came to a close.
During a January 2020 interview with NPR, Gomez alleged that Bieber was emotionally abusive toward her during their relationship. However, when asked whether the relationship was "one of the harder parts" of her life, Gomez said that she instead found strength through it.
"As much as I definitely don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about this," she told NPR at the time, "I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever felt and I've found a way to just walk through it with as much grace as possible."
2014: Tommy Chiabra
After Gomez and Bieber split in 2014, she reportedly starting seeing the founder and chairman of Royal Yacht Supplies, Tommy Chiabra. That July, Gomez celebrated her 22nd birthday with Chiabra in St. Tropez, France.
On the trip, they looked pretty couple-y while riding jet skis and cuddling on the deck of a yacht. However, little more was reported about the budding relationship, and the rumors eventually fizzled out.
2015: Zedd
Rumors about a possible romance between DJ Zedd and Gomez started circulating in January 2015 when they were spotted holding hands at a Golden Globes after-party. A few days later, Gomez posted an Instagram pic of the two of them, which she captioned, "missing la and this punk, just a little tonight."
They released "I Want You To Know" together in February of that year, and in March, Gomez opened up about the maybe-relationship on Radio Disney, calling her rumored beau "this cute little German" who has "really beautiful eyes" and who's "very sweet and funny." Unfortunately, just a month later, the two reportedly split.
During a June 2015 interview with a New Zealand radio station, Gomez seemingly confirmed their romance, saying, "I adore Anton [Zedd] a lot, and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice."
However, a few months later, Zedd admitted in an interview with Billboard that their relationship wasn't exactly a picnic. "Reporters were calling my parents," he said. "People were hacking my friends' phones. I was pissed. [Though] I kind of knew what I was getting myself into." Later, he added, "She is one of the most talked-about people in the world, but I had no idea how much that would change my life."
2016: Samuel Krost
In November 2015, Gomez was spotted getting dinner with Samuel Krost, who now runs a philanthropic streetwear brand, Krost New York. (He also happens to be close pals with the Hadid sisters.)
Soon after the maybe-date, Gomez shut down the rumors while chatting with E! at the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, saying that, while she's dating a little bit, she's "definitely single."
Rumors about them persisted into 2016, with more sightings and an Instagram from Krost that suggested the two had spent New Year's together in Costa Rica with friends.
Then, in August 2016, Krost posted (and then quickly deleted) an Instagram that seemingly confirmed their rumored relationship. "Selena is a real girl with a real heart and real feelings," he wrote. "All you superficial who are just unhappy with your love lives, understand that love is real. Although we have ventured on separate paths, at least I know that love exists. I love you, Sel."
2016: Charlie Puth
After Gomez and Charlie Puth collaborated on their 2016 hit "We Don't Talk Anymore," fans looked for clues suggesting something romantic. But it seemed like their relationship was just platonic — that is, until two years later.
When asked about the inspiration for "We Don't Talk Anymore" during a February 2018 interview with Billboard, Puth alluded to a relationship that was "very short-lived, very small, but very impactful," adding that it "really messed me up." Though he didn't name Gomez, he did say, "I don’t kiss and tell, but the only way a song like that can come across as real is if there's something else going on behind the scenes."
Soon after, a source close to Gomez reportedly told People that the two "never dated," so the jury is still out on this one.
2017: The Weeknd
Gomez and The Weeknd sparked relationship rumors after they were photographed dining and kissing in Santa Monica in January 2017. By March, they were Instagram official, and two months later, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2017 Met Gala.
That August, when asked by InStyle whether she was happy in her relationship, Gomez said, "I really am. It's great," adding, "I'm lucky because he's more of a best friend than anything else."
In October 2017, People reported that Gomez and The Weeknd's 10-month relationship had come to an end. A source told the magazine that their busy schedules caused them to grow apart. "It's been hard for them to come to the realization that this is the direction things were heading," the source said, "but it's been hard for months."
Did their breakup have anything to do with Gomez and Bieber's reported breakfast date the day before that report? The world may never know.
2022: Andrea Iervolino
In August 2022, Gomez was spotted getting cozy with Italian film producer Andrea Iervolino while yachting in Positano, Italy. Later that month, however, a source denied the romance rumors. “Selena and Andrea are just friends,” the insider told Us Weekly. “She’s dating and is keeping her options open with a few guys.”
2023: Drew Taggart
On Jan. 16, 2023, sources claimed that Gomez and Taggart were dating. After the duo was spotted on a bowling date and photographed holding hands, fans were pretty much convinced they were seeing each other — despite Gomez denying the rumors on Instagram. “#iamsingle,” she wrote in an IG Story, following the reports.
2023-Present: Benny Blanco
Gomez and the music producer’s history dates back to 2015 when he produced her hit songs “Kill Em With Kindness” and “Same Old Love” off her hit album, Revival.
Though their relationship was professional and platonic for almost a decade, the musicians sparked dating rumors in December 2023 after a source told Entertainment Tonight that Gomez feels “safe and secure” with Blanco. The two confirmed their romance in 2024 after going on PDA-packed dates at basketball games and hard-launching on Instagram.
To wrap up the year, Gomez shocked her 418 million Instagram followers in December with a photo of a diamond ring, officially announcing the couple’s engagement. To celebrate their everlasting love, the newly-engaged couple dropped their joint album I Said I Love You First in March 2025.
