Selena Gomez Announces Engagement to Benny Blanco

Selena Gomez has revealed her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco. The actress and singer shared the happy news on Instagram, posting a picture of her stunning engagement ring with the caption, “Forever begins now.”

The announcement follows the couple confirming their relationship last year. Among those congratulating the couple were pop star Taylor Swift, who jokingly said, “Yes, I will be the flower girl,” along with celebrities like Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Suki Waterhouse, and Lil Nas X.

Gomez also posted a video on her Instagram Story, showing her sharing the joyful moment with loved ones on a video call, where she excitedly said, “Yes to this,” prompting cheers from the other end.

Blanco, who has worked with artists like Rihanna, Calvin Harris, and Justin Bieber, had expressed his admiration for Gomez on The Drew Barrymore Show in May, describing her as “the best, most genuine person,” and reflecting on how lucky he felt to be with her.

Gomez and Blanco, who previously collaborated on the songs I Can’t Get Enough (2019) and Single Soon (2023), have been open about their relationship since its announcement.

The Come & Get It singer, who gained fame as a child actress on Barney and Disney Channel, has also achieved success in music and acting. This year, she joined the billionaire celebrity list with a $1.3 billion fortune, primarily from her Rare Beauty cosmetics line. Recently, she earned two Golden Globe nominations—one for Best Supporting Actress in Emilia Pérez and another for Best Actress in a TV Series for her role in Only Murders in the Building.
