Sometimes love finds you when you're least expecting it and that was certainly the case for Becky G and her boyfriend, Major League Soccer player Sebastian Lletget. The pair met through a mutual friend in June 2016. Becky was only 19 at the time. She's now 27 and even though she and Sebastian got engaged in December 2022, it's unclear if they will ever walk down the aisle together.

The "Mayores" singer has previously opened up about how they met and why she wasn't expecting to fall in love when Sebastian walked into her life. She said they met through her Power Rangers costar, Naomi Scott, at a time where Becky wasn't really looking to date after her the end of her romance with Austin Mahone.
The pair continuously gushed about each other on social media until Sebastian was accused of infidelity in 2023. Becky removed sweet pics and loving captions of Sebastian from her IG after that, but then in November 2023, they were spotted out and about together, so maybe they still have a future together. Only time will tell, in the meantime, take a look at a timeline of Becky and Sebastian's relationship.
They met in 2016 through a friend.
"[Our introduction] kind of came about while we were filming the movie," Becky said during an interview with La Mega. "The way we got introduced, me and Sebastian, was through my costar Naomi. Her husband—she's 23, they've been married for a couple years now—and [him] played soccer together, him and Sebastian. So Nae met me and was like, 'Girl, you're awesome! You deserve to be with a man!' I was like, 'Nah, I don't want to be with anybody. I've been there, done that [with] the relationship thing. I'm focused right now. I'm good. I'm good.' She's like, 'It's fine, it's fine, I already know who you're going to marry. It's fine, it's fine.'"
She continued: "She's talking to her husband and he's like, 'Oh yeah, Sebby, Sebby.' And I'm like, who's this Sebby guy? What are they talking about? Then she shows me a video of him, and I'm trying to downplay it like because I'm like, 'He's fine, good-looking. What is going on?' It kind of all led to that. He came out of nowhere. He came out of nowhere."
Becky and Sebastian made their red carpet debut as a couple at the Latin AMAs.
The gorgeous couple made their relationship red carpet official at the 2016 Latin American Music Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on October 6, 2016. The pair looked stunning, with the singer wearing a curve-hugging gold dress, and the soccer star looked dapper in a classic black suit. She shared an Instagram photo of them together and captioned it: "Thanks to my amazing glam team for making it all happen tonight. Also, thank you to my man for standing by my side. ❤️."
The couple had a deep conversation on their first date.
Becky opened up about their first date in an Instagram post in January 2017, while she was giving her boo a shout-out. "Such a proud moment yesterday watching you walk out onto the field with that jersey on. I don't know anyone more deserving of this opportunity. On our first date we talked about everything under the moon…literally. I remember specifically stuffing my face with sushi and talking about our dreams, goals and visions for where we see ourselves… everything we talked about on that date we are now doing or working towards," she captioned the snap. "Crazy how fast time has flown by. I adore that you are a man of your word. That you are a man with ambition. You're inspiring to so many, especially me. I'm proud of you."
Becky quickly taught her boyfriend about her Mexican culture.
"Teaching him our Mexican ways ❤️ @theylovedaboy," she captioned a since removed video of them dancing in May 2016. And it sure looked like he took to those Mexican ways with enthusiasm and joy. Sebastian was born in California to Argentine parents.
Becky became his biggest fan.
She cheered him on from the moment they started dating. She often shared posts congratulating him for his hard work and was spotted supporting him during his soccer matches.
Things got really spooky on their first Halloween together.
Becky shared a hot pic of herself with her man covered in fake bloody wounds on Halloween 2016. She captioned the snap: "Trick-or-Treat." She appeared more than willing to lick his wounds, fake or not.
They had a lot to be grateful for during the holidays.
"To that one time in Vegas at 3:30am deciding we'd take our first Christmas picture together. ❤️ Santa brought him early to me this year. Best present ever ✨," she captioned a silly pic of them in front of a Christmas tree in December 2016.
They brought in the new year together in 2017.
"Brought in the new year with my love. ❤️," she captioned a since deleted snap on January 1, 2017. What a beautiful way to end one year and go into the next: In the arms of someone you love and want to continue to love and hold.
She has been by his side through the good and bad times.
In April 2017, the LA Galaxy player had to undergo surgery and Becky was by his side. "Surgery was a success! The healing process begins. I don't know how to even begin to describe the gratitude I have towards this angel right here. Going to be a long journey, but having you next to me has made it so much easier," he captioned a photo of Becky standing by his side at the hospital.
Becky showed her appreciation for her guy in a sizzling photo of them in bathing suits.
"Just me and my person. We're currently in the car listening to ratchet a– Bay Area music and I just wanted to take a second to share my appreciation for him," she captioned the snap in June 2017. "Through the highs and lows he manages to hold it down for me. I'm grateful. I like doing life with you. You're real. I like that s—. #honestpost."
They gushed about each other on their anniversary.
The pair celebrated their first anniversary on June 3, 2017. "You've had my heart since day 1. I've been falling more and more in love with you ever since. Happy anniversary my love. Blessed to have you in my life," she captioned a photo of herself wearing his soccer jersey with his hand around her waist. He shared an adorable photo of them together on his Instagram and captioned it: "I'm convinced we were meant for this. The last 12 months we spent together, have been one of the best times of my life. I'm in love with you. I will not stop loving you. Happy 1 year amor."
She showered him with love on his special day.
For his birthday in September 2017, Becky shared a series of photos of them together and wrote a lengthy caption about him. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PERSON! I'm happy you were born. I'm beyond grateful to be a part of your journey in life," she wrote. "I can't thank god enough for bringing our paths together. I'm so sad that I can't be with you on your special day but I promise we will celebrate when we both get back home! ❤️ I love you! Hope you have a special day. I wish you many more years of health, positivity, strength, success, and most importantly, happiness. ."
He sent her flowers to celebrate her success.
"Came home to these beautiful flowers to congratulate me on all the success of 'Mayores' for me, the littlest things mean the most. This means so much to me," she captioned a pic of a bouquet of roses in September 2017. "Also made me realize that all these things in my career are finally looking up, a reminder that there's so much to be thankful for. Still processing it all. Thank you so much Sebastian. "
Becky revealed love found her when she was least expecting it.
"They say to not go searching for love, just let it find you. In the midst of all the craziness in life, it came to me," she wrote on Thanksgiving 2017. "I wasn’t looking to fall in love, I know you sure as hell weren’t either. But here we are. I’m thankful for our time together. Very thankful."
Sebastian was so proud of her in 2017.
When Becky hosted the 2017 Latin AMAs, the soccer player wrote a sweet tribute to her on Instagram. "This night was special for many reasons," he captioned a photo of her on the red carpet. "Just to see someone take on a huge challenge and make it look as effortless as you did was truly a sight to see. The beauty is in the struggle and you’ve had your fair share of battles to get to where you are today. No one can take that away from you. Keep on inspiring✊ ❤️."
Sebastian expressed his gratitude for having Becky by his side during tough times.
In December 2017, he shared an adorable photo of them together and captioned it: "Wouldn’t have been able to make it through the toughest year of my life without you." On Valentine's Day 2018, he wrote: "My WCW, my Valentine and my crutch when I couldn’t even walk. What a blessing you’ve been."
In 2020, she released the song ‘My Man.’
“The music video is a true moment that has now been captured forever. This pandemic will be something Sebastian & I will never forget. Sharing a 'fly on the wall' point of view to the silly and competitive side of us from behind closed doors and that people usually don’t get a chance to see, was so much fun," she shared in a press release. "We really didn’t feel like we were shooting a video, we were just being us.”
He praised her on her 24th birthday.
On March 2, 2021, he wrote the following via Instagram:
"Wow, how times flies. Happy birthday to this grown woman right here! So proud of the individual you have become and are growing into. I know it feels like I can never fully take part in all the festivities because of training or games but know I’m always having fun whenever I’m beside you. Cheers to your life #kobeyear"
After six years of dating, they got engaged!
On December 9, 2022, Becky shared a carousel of photos on Instagram that showed the moment when Sebastian asked her to marry him. She captioned it: "Our spot forever. " The last photo shows them both beaming with joy as she flashes the diamond engagement ring on her finger.
In 2023, they went to the Vanity Fair Oscar’s party.
On March 12, 2023, they were seen together as a couple in Beverly Hills where they attended the famous Vanity Fair Oscar party. Becky stunned in a sheer gown with hood and Sebastian looked handsome in a black suit with thin tie.
Sebastian accused of cheating on Becky in early 2023.
“Sebastian, your boyfriend, cheated on you in February and I have all the proof,” an anonymous person wrote in a post addressed to Becky G. “I can send them to you privately. A lot of the press is contacting me because I will not remain silent.”
Sebastian publicly addressed the rumors.
On March 27, 2023, in a since deleted Instagram post, Sebastian wrote in part:
“When I reflect on the past 7 years of my life, I know in my heart that I couldn’t have achieved a lot of my personal & professional growth, let alone navigate the challenges in my life without the love & support of Becky by my side. Yet behind this abundance, there is a reality I’ve hid from everyone around me. I have struggled with personal trauma and acute anxiety compounded by my own denial, pride and bad decisions,” the post began.
"Over the last several weeks, during a moment I regret deeply, a 10-minute lapse in judgment resulted in an extortion plot. Since this person did not get what they wanted it has now become a public social media spectacle filled with more lies than any truth and false posts aimed at the love of my life, the one person I should never take for granted or put at risk," he continued, in part. "While this anonymous stalker — who I never met, unlike they claimed — had an ultimate goal that was not clear, for me, it has been a wake-up call. The loudest alarm of my life."
He added that he ‘can't keep running from demons.’
"If I am the man I aspire to be, I have to do better. I have decided to commit myself to a mental wellness program to work on the parts of me that deeply need healing," he wrote, before ending with a direct apology to Becky G.
"To Becky, you have been the light in my life, my strength, who has always shown me unconditional love," he declared. "Instead of honoring that love every day, I have done the opposite, hurting you, and disrespecting the one person I love more than anything. I am so sorry and know I have to do whatever it takes to earn back the trust and love you deserve."
Becky G made solo appearances without her engagement ring.
Following that statement, which appeared to be an admission of some kind of guilt plus a public apology, Becky attended public events without her usual plus one or her engagement ring.
But, in November 2023, they were seen out in public together.
Eight months after the supposed cheating incident, pictures were captured of them walking together and even hugging each other so maybe things are back on track after the drama for these two. However, Becky still wasn’t wearing her engagement ring.
