The news of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's engagement spread like wildfire on Thursday, December 12. The 32-year-old singer and actress, known from "Only Murders In The Building", surprised her 423 million followers with a series of photos showing an impressive diamond ring on her finger. Alongside the ring, she also showcased intimate moments with her partner, 36-year-old music producer Benny Blanco.

"Forever begins now"

"Forever starts now," Selena commented on the pictures, while Benny joked in the comments: "Hey, wait a minute ... that's my wife." The pair made their relationship public in December 2023, after six months of dating. However, their relationship began much earlier when they met while working on music projects together. Benny Blanco even appeared in Selena's music video "I Can't Get Enough" in 2019, where he wore a giant teddy bear costume.

A long friendship turns into love

Selena Gomez, who was recently nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in "Emilia Perez", describes Benny as "the best thing that ever happened to me". She emphasizes that he is better than anyone she has ever been with. Benny himself showed his affection for Selena on her birthday in July, writing: "I played a teddy bear in your music video and now I'm the teddy bear in real life... happy birthday bb! I love you!"

The announcement of the engagement sparked a wave of excitement on social media. Numerous celebrities congratulated the couple, including Taylor Swift, who offered to be the flower girl at the wedding. However, it is not yet known when the wedding will take place.
