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.
