Since the start of her public relationship with Benny Blanco, Selena Gomez has been sparking engagement rumors, but for the first time it’s actually happened!
The pop superstar just shared the thrilling news that she and her beau, acclaimed music producer Benny Blanco, are engaged to be married! The 32-year-old singer and actress took to Instagram to make the surprise announcement, posting an adorable selfie showing off her stunning engagement ring.
Selena shared a photo of her ring finger adorned with a beautiful oval-cut diamond ring on a band encrusted with even more diamonds. She captioned it: “forever begins now..”
Selena also shared a picture of her sitting on a picnic blanket where they ate Taco Bell. Selena hasn’t confirmed, but it’s assume this is where Benny proposed. She also shared an adorable picture of her and Benny sharing a big hug.
Commenting on the post, Benny said: “hey wait… that’s my wife.”
Congratulations flooded in from others like Jennifer Aniston who said, “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!” and Suki Waterhouse who wrote: “Congratulations beauty!”
And, of course, we can’t ignore miss Taylor Swift who commented: “yes I will be the flower girl.”
Selena and 33-year-old Benny, who has crafted hits for stars like Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Maroon 5, first sparked dating rumors back in early 2021 when they were spotted out together in Los Angeles. In December 2023, Selena and Benny went public with their relationship after Popfactions posted, “Selena Gomez seemingly confirms that’s she is in a relationship“, with some info about her and Benny Blanco. Selena wasted no time to confirm the news by commenting: “Facts“.
Their relationship seemed to grow more serious over the past year, with Benny making frequent appearances on Selena’s Instagram. The lovebirds have kept their romance relatively private, but whenever they do share couple photos, it’s clear to see their affection and adoration for each other.
Selena first sparked engagement rumours when she shared a photo on Instagram Stories of a ring on her wedding finger, with a diamond-encrusted ‘B’ – for ‘Benny’ – above a square diamond.
The second time was when she wore a big ring at the Emmys earlier this year. But now it’s come from the horse’s mouth!
Selena has previously called Benny “one of the most talented, kindest people I’ve ever met.” While wedding details have yet to be revealed, there’s no doubt that Selena and Benny’s nuptials will be the celebrity event of the year. Congrats to the blissful bride and groom-to-be!
