The couple confirmed their engagement in December 2024, with Selena flashing her gorgeous diamond ring on social media.
Benny, 37, popped the question after weeks of speculation that they were engaged, following Selena’s showcase of her new bling on the Emmys red carpet.
It happened over a year after the pair’s romance began in June 2023.
Fans knew the wedding was near when Selena, 33, posted photos on Instagram from her bachelorette bash in late August.
The Lose You to Love Me singer looked happy while donning a white bikini and a short veil during the beach getaway.
She’d already appeared to settle into her new life with the music producer, as the U.S. exclusively reported in March that the pair took out an over $20million mortgage on their $35million Beverly Hills mansion.
The lavish purchase came shortly before the duo released their first joint album, I Said I Love You First, which dropped on March 21.
It was initially thought that Selena and Benny’s wedding would be a ways away, after the songwriter, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, told Rolling Stone that they were taking their relationship “one day at a time.”
At the time, the Virginia native said they were enjoying their engagement and not rushing to the altar.
Benny also gushed about being “so sure” that he was going to marry Selena and how his feelings for her were “very different” from anything he’d ever experienced.
The multi-Grammy Award nominee previously dated model Elsie Hewitt before becoming romantically involved with Selena.
Meanwhile, Selena has had numerous high-profile relationships over the years, including Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, Zedd, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber.
The former Disney Channel star had the longest relationship with Justin, whom she dated on and off for eight years before splitting for good in March 2018.

“I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate.”

“I’m aware of her strengths and I’m aware of her weakness, and so what I’ve tried to do is surround her with things that help,” Benny said during the couple’s joint appearance on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast earlier this year.
He also admitted to nearly self-sabotaging their relationship in the beginning, saying, “I feel like it all happens for a reason. I feel like maybe me doing that is what disarmed her enough.”
