Selena Gomez has just shared some exciting news with her fans: she is officially engaged to songwriter Benny Blanco.
The actress and singer took to Instagram to show off her stunning engagement ring, captioning the post with the words “forever begins now.”
The announcement comes after the couple confirmed their relationship last year, and it’s clear that their bond has only grown stronger since then.
Celebrating Love with Friends and Fans
The post quickly garnered attention from Gomez’s star-studded circle of friends, with pop sensation Taylor Swift among the first to offer her congratulations. Gomez shared more photos of her radiant smile, proudly flaunting her new ring, and one image even showed Blanco embracing her in what looks like a cozy closet.
Blanco jokingly commented on the post, “Hey wait… that’s my wife,” while Swift responded with a playful, “Yes I will be the flower girl,” adding to the joyful atmosphere.
Other celebrities, including rapper Cardi B, actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Suki Waterhouse, as well as singer Lil Nas X, also sent their well wishes in the comments.
A Sweet Moment Shared with Fans
Gomez, who boasts 423 million followers on Instagram, also gave fans a glimpse into the personal moment with a video shared on her Instagram Story. In the video, she proudly shows off the ring to her loved ones, and we can hear excited screams from the other end of the phone as she says, “Yes to this.”
A Creative Partnership Turned Romance
The couple’s journey began with music. Gomez and Blanco, who had previously collaborated on the hit songs I Can’t Get Enough in 2019 and Single Soon in 2023, announced their relationship shortly after. Blanco, known for his work with stars like Rihanna, Calvin Harris, and Justin Bieber, has often spoken highly of Gomez. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show back in May, he praised her for being “the best, most genuine person” and shared how amazed he is by their connection, saying, “I walk by the mirror every day, and as I’m walking to her, I ask myself, ‘How did I get here?’”
Selena Gomez’s Journey to Success
Gomez, who gained fame as a child star on Barney & Friends and the Disney Channel, has since built a successful career in both music and acting. She is also a business mogul, with her Rare Beauty cosmetics line contributing to her impressive fortune of $1.3 billion, according to Bloomberg. Earlier this year, she made the billionaire celebrity list, solidifying her place as one of the most influential stars in Hollywood.
This week, Gomez also earned two Golden Globe nominations: one for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the musical Emilia Pérez, and the other for Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy, for her role in Only Murders in the Building.
