Come and get this exciting news: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are engaged.
The “Who Says” singer announced the news Dec. 11, posting photos of herself wearing a marquise-cut diamond ring on that finger and embracing her now-fiancé. As she wrote on Instagram, “Forever begins now..”
And if there was any doubt about what she meant, Benny was quick to spell it out. “Hey wait…” the record producer wrote in a comment, “that’s my wife.”
Looks like Benny popped the question during a cute picnic date, as Selena shared a photo of herself admiring her ring while sitting on blankets on a manicured lawn, surrounded by Taco Bell takeout and a wicker basket.
The pair, who started dating in the summer of 2023 before going public later that year, got engaged nearly two decades after Selena, 32, and Benny, 36, were first introduced and five years since they collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough.”
“We both met each other like almost 16, 17 years ago,” Benny, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, recalled in an April interview with SiriusXM Hits 1. “Obviously, we made a bunch of songs together. But before we had made any music together, I was one of her big meetings—like right around when she was just leaving Disney to make her own music.”
