A Love Story That Began in 2023
Selena and Benny made their relationship public in December 2023, though reports suggest that they had been dating privately for several months before that. People magazine revealed that they were already a couple for six months before they decided to share their love with the world.
Since then, the couple has been spotted together at various events, including the Golden Globes, the Primetime Emmys, and even courtside at a New York Knicks vs. Philadelphia 76ers game in April. Their social media pages have also become a testament to their growing affection, with both sharing tender moments and heartfelt messages with their fans.
In an interview with People magazine, Benny had previously hinted at marriage, describing Selena as not only his partner but his best friend. Reflecting on their deep connection, he shared, “When I look at her ... I'm always just like, I don't know a world where it could be better than this.” His words clearly show just how much he admires Selena and values their relationship.
Selena Gomez's Latest Film: Emilia Pérez
As the couple embarks on this exciting new chapter of their lives, Selena’s career is also thriving. She is currently making waves with her latest project, Emilia Pérez, a genre-bending film that earned the most Golden Globe nominations this year. The film, which premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, stars Selena alongside Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Adriana Paz.
In Emilia Pérez, Selena plays Jessi, the ex-wife of the main character, a high-powered lawyer who becomes entangled with a Mexican cartel leader. The Spanish-language film explores themes of identity, transformation, and gender-affirming procedures as the characters navigate a dark and twisted journey. Selena’s role in this high-profile project continues to showcase her versatility as an actress and solidifies her place in Hollywood.
As Selena and Benny celebrate their engagement, fans can also look forward to more updates on both their personal lives and professional achievements. Their love story continues to inspire, and it's clear that their bond is only growing stronger with each passing day.
