Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco.
The singer and actress shared the big news on Instagram, posting a picture of a dazzling engagement ring with the caption: “forever begins now.”
It’s a moment fans saw coming after the couple confirmed their relationship last year. Pop icon Taylor Swift was one of the first to celebrate, chiming in: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Selena also shared snaps of herself grinning while showing off the ring, and another of Benny holding her in what looks like a closet. In the comments, Blanco proudly wrote: “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
In a follow-up Instagram Story, Selena flaunted her ring during a video call with loved ones, her excitement echoed by screams on the other end as she exclaimed: “Yes to this.”
The pair first crossed paths in music, teaming up for tracks like “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019 and “Single Soon” in 2023, before taking things public.
Selena, a former Disney star turned billionaire entrepreneur with her Rare Beauty empire, is having a stellar year. She just landed two Golden Globe nominations—one for her supporting role in Emilia Pérez and another for her lead performance in Only Murders in the Building.
Before Benny, Selena’s love life often made headlines, most notably her on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber. Now, it seems the star is ready for her next chapter.
Big love from fans and fellow celebrities keeps rolling in, with names like Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lil Nas X adding their voices to the chorus of congratulations.
