Selena Gomez Announces Engagement to Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez, the multifaceted star known for her talents in acting, music, and business, is set to tie the knot with record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.

In an Instagram post that sent fans into a frenzy, Gomez showcased her stunning diamond-encrusted engagement ring with the caption, ““Forever begins now…”” She also shared a photo of herself and Blanco wearing matching rings, alongside a video capturing the joyful moment she revealed the news to her loved ones.

The couple, who confirmed their relationship last year, have been vocal about their admiration for one another. In May, Blanco appeared on “The Drew Barrymore Show” and described Gomez as “one of the sweetest, most charming, and humble people” he had ever met.

Earlier this year, Gomez celebrated Blanco’s feature in “People’s Sexiest Men of the Year” issue, thanking him for his unconditional love and playful humor.

Gomez and Blanco’s engagement quickly became a trending topic on social media. Her announcement has amassed over 12 million likes on Instagram, and platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are buzzing with excitement. Celebrities including Taylor Swift, Lily Collins, Cardi B, and Nina Dobrev have shared their congratulations. Swift, Gomez’s close friend, humorously commented, ““Yes, I will be the flower girl.””

The couple’s creative collaboration predates their romantic relationship. They’ve worked on several tracks together, including 2019’s ““I Can’t Get Enough”” and 2023’s ““Single Soon,”” which debuted at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned an ASCAP Pop Music Award.

Beyond her personal milestones, Gomez continues to make waves professionally. She recently earned two Golden Globe nominations: Best Supporting Actress for “Emilia Perez” and Best Actress in a Television Series for Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building”. Additionally, she reached billionaire status this year, with much of her $1.3 billion net worth attributed to the success of her beauty brand, Rare Beauty, launched in 2020.

As Gomez embarks on this new chapter, fans and friends eagerly await updates on her journey with Blanco and her continued success in her career.
