Pop superstar Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, sharing the joyous news on Instagram. The 32-year-old singer and actress posted a series of glowing photos featuring a dazzling diamond ring with the caption: “Forever begins now.”
The first photo showcased Selena’s freshly manicured hand adorned with a massive sparkler on a diamond-studded band. In other images, the couple appeared blissfully in love, cuddling on the floor and enjoying a sunlit picnic.
Selena had sparked engagement rumors earlier this year, notably when she sported a gold band on her ring finger in September and a glittering ring at the Emmy Awards. Fans’ suspicions were confirmed with this official reveal, marking a happy milestone in her relationship with Benny Blanco, which became public in December 2023.
Celebrity Cheers
The announcement quickly drew attention from Selena’s famous friends. Taylor Swift wrote, “Yes I will be the flower girl,” while Jennifer Aniston commented, “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!” Cardi B added humorously, “Waiiiitttt hold on.”
Fans flooded the post with congratulatory messages, with one fan page exclaiming, “WE ARE SCREAMING FOR OUR GIRL!!! CONGRATULATIONS.”
A Rising Personal and Professional High
The engagement caps off a remarkable year for Selena, who was recently declared a billionaire. Reflecting on her journey, the Calm Down singer told The Hollywood Reporter: “I think I’ve done just as much as I wanted to do in music. It’s exciting because I feel like I haven’t even started in film and TV. I love storytelling and am excited to do more.”
Despite her financial milestone, Selena emphasized staying grounded. “I don’t think anything about me has changed. I just feel really proud,” she added.
The Love Story
Selena and Benny’s relationship blossomed over the past year, with the pair making their romance official last December. Known for his chart-topping productions, Benny has supported Selena through her musical and personal triumphs.
