The Wizards of Waverly Place actress received a temporary order against Thomas Brodnicki in October, which was extended the following month.
However, the presiding judge had previously refrained from providing her with lasting protection as Brodnicki was being held in a psychiatric facility and could not defend himself against allegations that he threatened to kill the 19-year-old.
The ruling today was the result of Brodnicki accepting that Gomez needed to be given a restraining order, TMZ reports.
In an official court filing, he wrote: "I do not wish to object because I know it is the only thing that will make me stay away from Selena."
Brodnicki claimed to have had "over 50 conversations with God a day about killing Ms Gomez".
Neither party was present for the ruling today.
