Becky G and her fiancé, Sebastian Lletget, are giving their romance a second chance.

After rumors of infidelity, the couple were thought to have split. However, in November 2023, Becky G and Lletget were spotted together for the first time in eight months in Porter Ranch, California.

In March 2023, the professional soccer player released a statement to address a "10-minute lapse in judgment" and an alleged "extortion plot" after an Instagram user claimed to have "all the proof" of him allegedly being unfaithful to the "Shower" singer.

Lletget added that he's willing to do "whatever it takes to earn back" Becky G's trust, including committing himself to a "mental wellness program."

Prior to the alleged cheating scandal, Becky G and Lletget announced their engagement in December 2022. The couple were set up by friends in June 2016.

And while they've been together for years, Becky G told PEOPLE in October 2022 that their relationship still felt "brand new."

"We've been together for over six years now and it's brand new in many ways because we're really embracing the shifts and changes that are happening in our lives, within ourselves and supporting each other in that," the songstress shared, adding that Lletget is her "best friend."

Keep reading for everything to know about Becky G's fiancé, Sebastian Lletget.

He's a soccer player

Lletget is a professional soccer player and midfielder for FC Dallas. He previously played for the New England Revolution, the L.A. Galaxy and the English Premier League's West Ham United.

In 2017, Lletget earned a spot on the United States Men's National Team. Becky G showed her support on Instagram, penning a sweet message to him the day after his debut game. "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," she wrote in part.

Lletget was called up to play on the team again in 2021 for the Concacaf Gold Cup, and the team took home the trophy. He celebrated the win with Becky G in Las Vegas, where the couple enjoyed an impressive breakfast spread and skyline views.

While at West Ham United, Lletget played alongside Jordan Spence, who is married to actress Naomi Scott. Scott and Becky G had formed a close friendship while filming their movie Power Rangers, leading to Scott playing matchmaker in June 2016.

"So, we met through Jordan and Naomi, who kind of played Cupid for us," Lletget said in a profile for the U.S. Men's National Team. "I like the way we met because it's different from how it works with most people nowadays, meeting online or through a social app. It was really organic and almost old-fashioned."

Lletget was born in San Francisco and is of Argentinian descent. Becky G previously told PEOPLE that the pair's shared Latinx background not only helped them bond, but also helped Lletget build a connection with her family.

"He can communicate with my abuelitos. It's cute. It's really sweet. It's just a different connection, I think, when someone does relate to your culture. But even then, within the Latinx community, there's so many differences," the singer told PEOPLE.

"Culturally speaking, there's so much that we take away from one another, and learn from one another. He's an honorary Mexican at this point," she added. "He really is. He's totally embraced by my family, for sure."

Lletget was scouted by West Ham United when he was just 13 years old and offered a spot on the team after only one day of tryouts. However, he couldn't join the team full-time until he obtained a European passport. He eventually received Italian citizenship through his maternal grandfather.

He's known for his selfies

The California native is on top of his social media game and has developed a reputation among his teammates and fans as the "selfie king." Lletget explained his selfie-taking process in a profile by the U.S. Men's National Team.

"Making the perfect selfie is simple," he laughed. "It's all about the angle. And my facial expression? I try not to think about it. I guess I keep it as masculine and as chill as possible. I sort of give people a platform to have fun with it. I know people are going to have jokes about the selfies, but I enjoy that aspect."

Many of his selfies feature Becky G and provide sweet glimpses into their romance.

Becky G and Lletget have always been there for each other's biggest milestones. In November 2022, Lletget was by the singer's side for the Latin Grammy Awards. The athlete celebrated his significant other's accomplishment — she was nominated for four awards — on Instagram with a sweet post. "Singing isn't really my thing but I still took home the best award 🥇🖤," he wrote next to a shot of them on the red carpet.

And despite her busy schedule, Becky G makes time to go to as many of Lletget's games as possible, and has become something of a good luck charm for the team.

"It's become this superstition. Apparently, when I'm there he does really, really well. And so his coach is like, 'You have to be at the playoff game.' I was like, 'OK, let me see what I can do.' And so I'll be there," she told PEOPLE.

While they were stuck at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, Becky G and Lletget turned their relationship into art by shooting a music video for her song "My Man." In the video, styled like an 8-bit computer game, the duo competes in a pushup challenge, a game of Twister and a soccer skills contest.

"The music video is a true moment that has now been captured forever," Becky G said in a press release, via Rolling Stone. "This pandemic will be something Sebastian and 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. We really didn't feel like we were shooting a video, we were just being us."

Becky G further opened up about the project during an interview with E! News, explaining how she and Lletget were excited to show fans a new side of their romance.

"Although we are very open about our relationship, we're also still very private at the same time. Fans haven't been able to see that side to our relationship. They see Seb as the professional athlete that he is and they see me as the professional artist that I am, but at the end of the day, we are each other's best friends," she said. "We were going through it as well during quarantine, and to share that little bit of light with my fans, I think was really special."

He was accused of cheating on Becky G in March 2023

In late March, a woman posted on Instagram alleging that she had proof of Lletget cheating on Becky G, per Remzcla. A screen recording from the Instagram account then began surfacing on Twitter, appearing to show the user's DM exchanges with the athlete and alleged voice messages between the two as well.

Lletget responded directly to the rumors on March 27 with a lengthy Instagram statement.

"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 wrote, 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."

Lletget continued, adding 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 his note with a personal message for Becky G.

"To Becky, you have been the light in my life, my strength, who has always shown me unconditional love," he wrote. "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."
