Selena Gomez announces engagement to boyfriend Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez is ready to take on her relationship Benny Blanco to the next level… she has officially announced her engagement to the music producer.

The “Only Murders in the Building” actress posted the cheerful update to her Instagram on Wednesday night, sharing a close-up of her sparkling diamond ring — which happened to be a marquise-style stone.

The former Disney Channel star also gave a glimpse of the sweet proposal, sharing a photo of herself gazing lovingly at the ring while enjoying an outdoor picnic – where the couple indulged in Taco Bell and other goodies , it seems.

Alongside the upload, she wrote… “Forever starts now….”

Benny felt just as giddy about the update, adding in the comments… “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”

Selena and Benny first started dating in July 2023… although they first met decades earlier when SG first got serious about music. The pair then collaborated on the song ‘I Can’t Get Enough’, but their partnership didn’t become romantic until last year.

The pair sparked engagement rumors earlier this year, when Selena notably covered her ring finger with a heart emoji in an eyebrow-raising mirror selfie. She was later seen rocking a gold band on that same hand… further fueling chatter that she and the hitmaker planned to walk down the aisle.

Although the couple didn’t address the speculation at the time, both Selena and Benny made it clear that they were serious about each other… and spoke about their relationship in the press more than once.
