Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco.
An actress and singer recently shared a striking image of a sizable engagement ring on Instagram, accompanied by the caption, “Forever begins now.”
The announcement follows the couple’s confirmation of their relationship last year.
Renowned pop icon Taylor Swift joined a host of celebrities in extending her congratulations.
Gomez, a two-time Grammy nominee, shared additional images showcasing her radiant smile while wearing the ring, alongside a photo of Blanco embracing her in what seems to be a closet.
“Hold on… that’s my wife,” Blanco remarked on the post.
Swift confirmed her role, stating, “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
Rapper Cardi B, actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Suki Waterhouse, and singer Lil Nas X extended their well wishes.
In a recent Instagram Story viewed by her 423 million followers, the platform’s most-followed woman showcased a video of her ring while speaking to loved ones on the phone.
“Yes to this,” she is heard declaring, prompting enthusiastic reactions from those on the other end of the video call.
Gomez and record producer Blanco previously collaborated on the tracks “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019 and “Single Soon” in 2023 before revealing their romantic relationship.
Blanco, known for collaborations with prominent artists such as Rihanna, Calvin Harris, and Justin Bieber, expressed his heartfelt admiration during a May appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show.
“She’s truly the best, most authentic person,” he remarked during the chat show.
All aspects are entirely genuine. Each day, upon waking, I pass by the mirror on my way to her and ponder, ‘How did I arrive at this point?’…She is among the sweetest, most charming, and humblest individuals I have ever encountered.
Gomez, known for her hit “Come & Get It,” was previously involved in a highly publicized on-and-off relationship with fellow musician Justin Bieber.
The Texas-born star gained recognition early in her career as a child actress on the beloved children’s show Barney and later on the Disney Channel before successfully transitioning into a multifaceted career in both singing and acting.
This year, as reported by Bloomberg, she secured a spot on the billionaire celebrity rich list with a fortune of $1.3 billion (£1 billion), primarily generated by her Rare Beauty make-up company.
On Monday, she garnered two Golden Globe nominations: one for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the operatic musical Emilia Pérez and another for Best Actress in a TV Series, musical or Comedy for her recurring role in Only Murders in the Building.
