And Benny Blanco is also the first guy Selena Gomez has made public her relationship after 5 years of breaking up with Justin Bieber.

Benny Blanco was born on March 8, 1988, in Reston, Virginia, under the sign of Pisces. People born under this sign are often musically inclined, and Benny is a typical example. After co-producing and writing several hit singles in the late 2000s, Benny Blanco made a name for himself in the music industry. He is an artist himself, having released his debut single, Eastside, in 2018 with Halsey and Khalid.

In an October 2022 interview with The Zach Sang Show, Benny Blanco lavished praise on Justin Bieber. He said: "Justin is not a stereotypical pop artist. You know, a lot of people release a new single and then launch their makeup line. Justin says, 'I had a breakout today and I was nervous.' He's always so upfront about things like that."

It's unclear when Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez first met, but the pair began working together more than eight years ago. He helped write and produce the songs Same Old Love and Kill Em With Kindness on Selena's 2015 album Revival. They collaborated again in 2019 on the single I Can't Get Enough.
