Selena Gomez, the renowned singer and actress, has revealed her engagement to songwriter and record producer Benny Blanco. The announcement came via Instagram, where Gomez shared a photo of a dazzling engagement ring with the caption, “Forever begins now.”
The couple, who confirmed their relationship last year, received an outpouring of congratulations from fans and celebrity friends. Taylor Swift, a close friend of Gomez, commented enthusiastically, “Yes, I will be the flower girl,” while Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Lil Nas X, and Gwyneth Paltrow also sent their well-wishes.
Gomez also posted additional pictures, including one of her smiling with the ring and another of Blanco embracing her. In an Instagram Story shared with her 423 million followers, Gomez shared a video showing her loved ones reacting joyfully to her ring, with audible screams of excitement.
Blanco, who has collaborated with artists like Rihanna, Justin Bieber, and Calvin Harris, has been vocal about his love for Gomez. In a May appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, he described her as “the best, most genuine person” and expressed his gratitude for their relationship.
The pair’s creative partnership began with collaborations on tracks like I Can’t Get Enough in 2019 and Single Soon in 2023, further solidifying their bond.
Gomez, a former Disney Channel star, has become one of the most influential figures in entertainment. This year, she joined the billionaire celebrity rich list, thanks largely to the success of her Rare Beauty cosmetics line.
Additionally, Gomez has received two Golden Globe nominations this year: one for her supporting role in the operatic musical Emilia Pérez and another for best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy, for her performance in Only Murders in the Building.
With a celebrated career and a new chapter of love, Gomez’s announcement marks another milestone in her remarkable journey.
