Who is Selena Gomez's fiance, Benny Blanco? Meet the songwriter who could play 'Flynn Rider' opposite her in Disney's 'Tangled'

Amidst all the buzz around Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's appearance at the Golden Globes, speculations are on the rise that the lovely pair could be up for the live-action remake of Disney's Tangled. While most people have given their casting rumours a big 'thumbs-up', there's a section on the internet who doubt Benny's ability to pull off the smooth-talking hero, 'Flynn Rider' in Tangled.

The debate continues to lead the news headlines because there has been no official confirmation whether Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco would play 'Rapunzel' and 'Flynn' in the live-action remake of Dinsey's Tangled. Amidst all the buzz around this development, many people are curious to know more about Selena's boyfriend, Benny Blanco, because he is a private person who loves keeping his personal details off the internet. However, there's still so much about the famous songwriter and producer in the public domain.

For the uninitiated, Benny Blanco's real name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, and he was born on March 8, 1988, in Reston, Virginia, US. The songwriter's stage name is a character, 'Benny Blanco' from the American crime film, Carlito's Way. At the age of six, Benny came across Nas' timeless song, The World Is Yours and All 4-One's iconic song, I Swear, and instantly fell in love with music production. He was trained and guided by famous American songwriter, Dr. Luke for many years under his production company.

Benny Blanco has also worked with his fiancee, Selena Gomez's ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber

Not everyone is aware that Benny Blanco has also worked with his fiancee, Selena Gomez's two ex-boyfriends, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. While Benny was connected to The Weeknd professionally, he was close to Justin Bieber as a friend. Benny and Bieber have collaborated on various songs like Lonely, Eenie Meenie, Somebody To Love, Cold Water, and Love Yourself. The duo became friends somewhere around 2010. If the reports are to be believed, Benny was with Bieber when the latter released his iconic song, Lonely, which speaks volumes about their friendship.

However, when Benny Blanco started dating Selena Gomez in mid-2023, he reportedly got disconnected from his old friend, Justin Bieber. According to several reports, Justin Bieber was in shock and felt 'stung' by his friend, Benny Blanco, when the latter announced his engagement with Selena Gomez in December 2024. Sources close to Bieber claimed that it marked the end of an era for his friendship with Benny Blanco. 

For the uninitiated, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got engaged in December 2024 and will soon get married. However, on the flip side, Selena's ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, is reportedly getting divorced from his wife, Hailey Baldwin. Although the couple have denied their divorce rumours, their fans are more than convinced that sooner or later, they will part ways. We hope both Justin and Selena get what they want to be happiest.
