Before her engagement to Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez made headlines for her high-profile list with many A-listers. From Justin Bieber to The Weeknd and Niall Horan to Zayn Malik, a look at all her confirmed and rumoured romance.
Selena Gomez has had her fair share of high-profile relationships in the past, but it seems she's now found her happily ever after with Benny Blanco, to whom she's engaged. Before settling down with the music producer, her romantic relationships often made headlines.
Gomez has always been someone who loves deeply and intensely. In a 2017 interview with Miami's Power 96.5 FM, she shared that she's "the kind of girl that loves tremendously big" and that she gives her "heart and soul" to the person she loves, which is just how she operates.
In 2023, Gomez confirmed her romance with Benny Blanco, and the duo has been inseparable since then, with the talented musician accompanying his superstar girlfriend at award shows. If rumors are to be believed, Blanco is also producing Gomez's upcoming musical venture, which she has been teasing on her Instagram account.
Ahead of the couple's upcoming nuptials, let's revisit the Emilia Perez star's dating history: from Nick Jonas to Justin Bieber.
Nick Jonas
Selena Gomez and Nick Jonas dated back in 2008, but she has since referred to it as "puppy love.".
In a 2015 interview with Capital FM, she described their relationship as "very sweet" and acknowledged that they were just "babies" at the time. Interestingly, she and Taylor Swift, who was dating Joe Jonas, Nick's brother, became close friends during that time, bonding over their shared experiences with the Jonas brothers.
Taylor Lautner
The singer-actress had a brief romance with Twilight star Taylor Lautner in 2009, before he went on to date Taylor Swift. According to Gomez, the two met while Kristen Stewart, Lautner's Twilight co-star, was staying in her hotel, and they would often run into each other in the lobby. They started hanging out, going to lunch and dinner, and doing normal activities like bowling, but things got out of hand due to the intense media attention surrounding them.
Justin Bieber
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber had a long and complicated on-again, off-again relationship. They first confirmed their romance in February 2011 but split in November 2012. They reunited in April 2013 but continued to date on and off for several years, with breaks in between where they dated other people.
They finally reconciled in November 2017 but broke up for good in March 2018. Bieber went on to marry Hailey Baldwin in September 2018.
Orlando Bloom
Bloom and the Only Murders in the Building star first courted romance rumors in April 2014 when they were spotted spending time together in Los Angeles. In 2016, they were later spotted getting cozy in Las Vegas; however, Bloom's then-girlfriend and now-wife called the rumors surrounding the pair 'dumb conspiracy' theories.
Zedd
Selena and Zedd, who collaborated on I Want You to Know, dated in early 2015. ¡°I adore Zedd a lot, and I definitely had a thing with him, which was nice,¡± Gomez admitted in a 2015 interview.
Charlie Puth
In March 2016, it was reported that Selena Gomez and Charlie Puth, the collaborators of We Don't Talk Anymore, were romantically involved. At the time, a source described their relationship as "not serious," but said that Gomez was "super into him.".
However, Puth later revealed in a 2018 interview with Billboard that their relationship was "very short-lived" and had a significant impact on him.
The Weeknd
The Golden Globes-nominated actress and Blinding Lights crooner dated from January to October 2017. They first met at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in 2015. Despite the breakup, the exes don't share any blood and have said they remain best friends.
