When it comes to celebrities dating lives, many of us have an admittedly unhealthy vested interest. And few stars (perhaps second to her close friend Taylor Swift) come under the same level of scrutiny as Selena Gomez.
Fans are simply obsessed with who the Rare Beauty founder is or isn’t dating, particularly post-Justin Bieber.
If you find yourself wondering the same thing, scroll on for all you need to know about Selena Gomez’ boyfriends, including the internet’s latest tailspin over her friendship with Édgar Ramírez.
Are Selena Gomez & Édgar Ramírez Dating?
Let’s just start on this topic by saying men and women can be friends, and Selena Gomez is here to remind us that when you’re in a healthy, happy relationship, that fact is even more grounded in truth.
The internet has found itself in a tizzy over a clip of Selena dancing with her Emilia Pérez co-star and friend, Édgar Ramírez, while at one of Sabrina Carpenter’s New York shows.
The clip shows the two dancing closely while surrounded by fellow friends, including model Connar Franklin. Sure, the pair look cozy, but we’d dance with our same-sex friends in the same way.
The clip was taken down (but can still be found online) after going viral, with Selena clapping back at fans in a TikTok Story, posting “Omg how dare I dance with my bestie.”
Enough said.
2023 – Now: Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco’s Relationship
Despite what the internet has to say about Édgar Ramírez, Selena is still dating and very much in love with her current boyfriend, Benny Blanco.
Relationship rumours began swirling in 2023. Benny and Selena had worked together previously, most recently at the time on her hit ‘Single Soon’. It wasn’t until December, however, that the singer confirmed whispers by commenting ‘Facts’ on a post discussing their rumoured new relationship.
A mere week later, fans got their first official couple pic of the pair with Selena sharing a PDA photo of them kissing.
Come Valentine’s day the following year, Selena was dedicated Instagram posts to her new beau, simply captioning the sweet snaps “my bes fwend”.
There’s been no shortage of doting posts and declarations of love since, with the couple remaining blissfully happy to date.
2022 – 2023: Andrea, Drew, Zayn Rumours
Prior to Benny there were a number of rumours circling about new romances for the Only Murders In The Building star, including links to Zayn Malik, Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart and an Italian vacation with Italian-Canadian film producer, Andrea Iervolino. None of the rumours were officially confirmed.
2017: Selena Gomez & The Weeknd’s Relationship
One of Selena’s more prominent and high-profile relationships was undoubtedly with boyfriend and The Idol star, Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd.
Two months after his split from Bella Hadid, the couple were spotted on a dinner date in Los Angeles and became Insta-official weeks later.
Over the 10-month relationship the couple shared numerous international trips, loved-up selfies and even a Met Gala appearance.
2016: Selena Gomez & Charlie Puth
Sometimes the shortest flings are the sweetest. Selena was briefly link to Charlie Puth following their collaboration on hit song, ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’.
The romance was never confirmed by Selena, but Charlie told Billboard: “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. And that’s what was happening. Very short-lived, very small, but very impactful.”
2010 – 2014 (and again in 2017): Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez’ Relationship
Fans have never fully recovered from the star’s long-term relationship with Justin Bieber, despite both parties well and truly moving on.
At first brushing off dating rumours, Selena and Justin made things official in 2011 first with paparazzi photos of them kissing on vacation, followed by an appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party together.
It was on-and-off for the couple over their four-year stint, with another brief rekindling in 2017/18 following her romance with The Weeknd, but alas, it wasn’t meant to be.
