Their party came after claims Selena has ‘talked about marriage and having children’ with Benny and thinks he is ‘The One.’
The Come And Get It singer went public with Benny in December, revealing that they had been secretly dating for six months.
Now a source has shared that Selena is ‘ready to settle down’ and feels that she ‘has found the love of her life’ in Benny.
‘He makes her feel secure and happy. They both think they’ve found the person they’ll be with forever,’ the insider told Us Weekly.
‘She definitely sees this relationship going the distance,’ the source added, noting that her ‘friends and family’ are also enthusiastic about the match.
The insider shared details of their long-term plans, saying: ‘They’ve talked about marriage and having children and are very much on the same page.’
Selena, whose property portfolio includes homes in Los Angeles and Manhattan, is now said to want to live in New York because Benny is based there.
Benny is himself a high-flyer in the music industry, as a record producer and songwriter who has worked with a variety of artists including Selena, Halsey, Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Charlie Puth and Kanye West.
The claims about his relationship with Selena come after Benny bragged on social media about his sex life with the Come And Get It singer.

He let slip a few details about his romance with Selena while sharing an Instagram image of a steak dinner that he had prepared for her.
‘I woke up early this morning and I was like: “I want to do something nice for my girlfriend,'” said the 36-year-old musician.
‘I was thinking, whenever I want to put a smile on her face or get laid, I just make her steak,’ dished Benny, whose real name is Benjamin Levin.
Benny has just published a new cookbook called Open Wide, an achievement he celebrated on Tuesday with a cake made to look like the volume.
Selena posted a suggestive Instagram snap that evening of herself licking the cake – specifically, the image of Benny in the frosting, just below the waist.
A couple of months ago, Selena glowingly revealed that she feels ‘safest’ in her ‘awesome,’ ‘lovely’ relationship with Benny.
‘Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you, and I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in,’ she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.
