Selena Gomez’s romantic history has been a rollercoaster, with her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber being one of the most talked-about celebrity romances of the past decade. Their tumultuous relationship, which finally ended in 2018, was marked by intense public scrutiny and emotional highs and lows. In contrast, Gomez’s current relationship with Benny Blanco appears to be a breath of fresh air.

According to reports from Life & Style, the actress has found “exactly what she’s been needing in a partner” in Blanco. The Only Murders in the Building star has been vocal about how her boyfriend, whom she collaborated with long before they started dating, is “a complete light in my life.”

Gomez herself has acknowledged the difference, stating, “I’ve never been loved this way.” So it seems like Blanco’s qualities of kindness, generosity, sincerity, and loyalty have made a significant impact on her, who has been telling friends that he is “The One.”

This newfound stability and support have allowed Gomez to thrive both personally and professionally, something that was often hindered during her time with Bieber.

Selena Gomez Could Beat Taylor Swift to the Altar

As Selena Gomez’s relationship with Benny Blanco continues to flourish, there is growing speculation that she could soon get engaged. Sources close to the couple have hinted that an engagement might be on the horizon, with one insider noting, “No one would be surprised if they get engaged soon.” This potential milestone is particularly noteworthy given Gomez’s past relationship struggles and her journey toward finding a partner who truly understands and supports her.

In contrast, Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce, while strong, appears to be progressing at a slower pace. Despite a romantic trip to Lake Como and their upcoming one-year anniversary, the speculations about their engagement have been shut down. According to insiders from Elle, Kelce is taking his time and has no plans to propose

Marriage is something he takes very seriously and not something he would ever just jump into without giving it some careful consideration.

This difference in relationship trajectories could see Gomez reaching the milestone of engagement and possibly marriage before Swift. While the Shake It Off Singer and NFL player are undoubtedly a great match, with loved ones seeing an engagement “sooner than later,” the cautious approach taken by Kelce means that Gomez might just beat her best friend to the altar.

Gomez’s romance with Benny Blanco, marked by support and authenticity, stands in stark contrast to her past with Justin Bieber and positions her for a potential engagement in the near future. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift’s relationship with Travis Kelce, though strong and promising, is moving at a more deliberate pace. Whether Gomez does indeed beat Swift to the altar remains to be seen, but the journey of these two stars continues to engage and inspire their legions of followers.
