Standing apart among the tall tier of A-listers is no easy feat in Hollywood. However, many would consider it a natural gift for Willow Smith, daughter of heavyweights, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Yet, the 23-year-old has always taken the world on her terms and crafted her way through the insides while erecting a strong empire for herself. Standing with a $6 million net worth as of 2023, the multi-faceted artist has a lot of talents to account for. Handling showbiz, fashion, and singing, she commands a strong fan base who recently is on the edge as Eddie Benjamin has picked up mentions in rumors as her new boyfriend.

Before taking a deep dive into the rumored mystery man, a question arises as to whether the two are dating.

Is Willow Smith dating Eddie Benjamin?

A likely yes emerges as the answer to that question as a series of snaps would prove so. Recent pictures from Bronte Beach in Sydney have the duo getting intimate and kissing. Additionally, the amorous display comes close on the heels of landing alongside one another in Australia on the occasion of the GQ Men of the Year Awards. Sporting a gold necklace and her braids, the actress-singer jumped into the waters with her beau taking to embracing and kissing amid the high surfs.

The developments stem close on the backs of the duo, uniting back in October for a music track. Additionally, her beau also contributed some inputs for her single, ‘Alone’. Meanwhile, in Sydney, the duo took to affectionate moments. Benjamin kissed his lady love gently on many occasions on the back while also playfully rolling around in the sand. In the meantime, the 23-year-old took to a black pair of swimming gear and radiated smiles all around, which essentially echoed a blossoming chemistry.

Who is Eddie Benjamin, and what is his dating history?

Eddie Benjamin, at the moment, is the winner of the 2023 GQ Breakthrough Musician of the Year award. The Australian singer boasts a good repertoire and catalog of music that has found liking among the youth. The 21-year-old renders the likes of Justin Bieber and Sia as direct inspirations for his music and toured alongside the former back in 2022. Moreover, he has established himself as a songwriter-music producer in Los Angeles and released his first EP, ‘Emotional, in 2021.

Born in 2001 in Bondi Beach, Australia, Benjamin has found himself around music since the very beginning. With his father as a drummer and his mother as a choreographer and dancer, he remained attuned to the beats. Soon enough, he took a liking to piano, guitar, and bass and by his teens had already founded a pop group named Haze Trio, alongside his classmates. Currently acclaimed for his soulful R&B and soft pop, he has produced music for the likes of Meghan Trainor and Shawn Mendes alongside, of course, Willow Smith. Additionally, the young musician has also produced the scores for All I Didn’t Want for Christmas, Dollface, and The Ben Shapiro Show.

In terms of dating, Eddie Benjamin has publicly only had himself alongside Maddie Ziegler. The American actress and dancer was the very one who had gained immense popularity and acclaim for featuring in Sia’s music videos, including ‘Chandelier’ and ‘Elastic Heart’. Usually spotted at dinners alongside West Hollywood, the duo dated for 3 years from 2019 to 2023 before separating mutually.

The journey so far and henceforth for Willow Smith

Willow Smith has a comparably longer dating history than her latest heart, Eddie Benjamin. The actress-singer was first linked with De’Wayne Jackson way back in her teens. The alternative singer on many occasions had his lady love across many sightings in Malibu. It was during the period after this relationship that she expanded her reach beyond to command a fortune as of today.

In 2014, the MSFTSRep co-owner found herself linked to Hannah Montana actor Moises Arias. Although long rumored, the duo’s stance remained to be strictly friends with no layer of togetherness involved. A long mill of scrutiny that Smith, then 13, was involved with Arias, then 20 found itself in the headlines. However, the rumors as well as the allegations stood shut and the pair never appeared linked again.

In one of her publicly disclosed, recent, and long-standing relationships, Willow Smith remained with Tyler Cole ever since 2017. The duo has embarked on several projects together, including the 2020 hit song ‘Meet Me At Our Spot’. Additionally, the chemistry between them was strong enough to form a band, The Anxiety. Meanwhile, by himself, Cole has released several good beats and two solo albums. Moreover, taking inspiration from his hear-tugger, the rapper also starred in the flick, Between the Miles as well as the series Family Reunion.

Interestingly, neither Tyler Cole nor Willow Smith has come forward with any news of a formal split between them. Furthermore, no exact timeline of separation between the two remains known either. Regardless, the photos fresh off Australia may serve as the final nail in the coffin for the duo’s relationship.
