Selena Gomez's relationship with Benny Blanco has been going from strength to strength for a year straight - and it seems more congratulations might be in order very soon after Benny opened up in a recent interview.
31-year-old singer-songwriter and actress Selena first publicly confirmed her relationship with music producer Benny in December 2023, with an Instagram snap that showed her wearing a ring with the initial 'B'.
But it turned out the relationship had been going ahead for a while longer, with Selena making it known in response to a social media troll that it had already 'been 6 months bb.'

Fans have been worrying for Selena following the recent news that her ex Justin Bieber is expecting a baby with his wife Hailey Bieber, but it seems there's no cause for concern, as Selena seems happier than ever.
In other Instagram comments, Selena has said that Benny is 'the best thing that's ever happened' to her.
She added: "If you actually care about me. This is my happiest. If you don't feel free to say whatever you want. But I will never allow your words to guide my life. Ever. I'm done. If you can't accept me at my happiest then don't be in [m]y life at all."
And Benny's latest interview on The Howard Stern Show shows he's just as crazy about her - as he should be.
Host Howard Stern said that he predicted marriage for the pair, and Benny responded: "You and me both...I gotta get my act together!"
Benny revealed that their first anniversary is fast approaching and it's around the date of her birthday - July 22.
He said he's got her some 'really good stuff' to celebrate.
He then spoke about the prospect of having children with Selena, and added: "That's like my next goal on the box. I have a lot of God kids, I've got a ton of nephews. It's my thing, I love being around kids!"
Prior to their relationship, Selena and Benny had worked together on some of Selena's songs, and he even featured in the video for her 2021 hit 'I Can't Get Enough'.
Benny wooed listeners when he said that for Valentine's Day, he rented out an entire movie screen to watch Selena's favourite film, Almost Famous.
He also made sure all of her favourite snacks were on hand - fried pickles, Taco Bell and Flamin' Hot Cheetos - and nachos straight from the nacho machine.
Benny also shared that he can't believe his luck with Selena, and mused some more about how much he loves her.
He said: "'I don't know a world where it could be better than this.
"She's the coolest, the nicest, the sweetest, like, everything."
He continued: "She's truly just like my best friend. We laugh all f***ing day. She inspires me."
We're so happy for the pair of them.
