Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to songwriter and producer Benny Blanco.
The singer and actress shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of her stunning engagement ring with the caption, “Forever begins now.”
This milestone comes a year after the couple publicly confirmed their relationship.
Several celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Suki Waterhouse, and Lil Nas X, offered their congratulations. Swift playfully commented, “Yes, I will be the flower girl,” while Blanco chimed in with, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
Gomez also posted a video on her Instagram Story showing her ring to loved ones during a video call, capturing their joyous reactions as she excitedly said, “Yes to this.”
Gomez and Blanco previously collaborated on songs like I Can’t Get Enough in 2019 and Single Soon in 2023 before making their relationship official. Blanco, known for his work with artists like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Calvin Harris, spoke highly of Gomez earlier this year on The Drew Barrymore Show. He described her as “the best, most genuine person” and expressed his disbelief at how lucky he felt to be with her.
Gomez, who previously had a high-profile relationship with Justin Bieber, has built an impressive career. From her early days as a child star on Barney and Disney Channel to becoming a global pop icon, she has achieved remarkable success.
In addition to her music and acting career, Gomez joined the billionaire celebrity ranks this year, amassing a $1.3 billion fortune, largely driven by her Rare Beauty makeup brand. She recently earned two Golden Globe nominations for her performances in Emilia Pérez and Only Murders in the Building, solidifying her status as a Hollywood powerhouse.
