Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Are Engaged!
Golden Globe-nominated actress Selena Gomez said “yes” to a life with music producer Benny Blanco, announcing their engagement to her 422 million Instagram followers on Wednesday. In a series of heartwarming photos, the 32-year-old beamed while showing off a dazzling diamond ring.
“Forever begins now…” Gomez captioned the post, which amassed over 5.5 million likes within its first two hours. One photo captured Gomez relaxing on a picnic blanket decked out with Taco Bell and champagne, likely on a sound stage set. Another showed Blanco, 36, tenderly kissing Gomez’s forehead as she flashed her new bling.
Blanco, whose birth name is Benjamin Joseph Levin, took to Gomez’s comments to playfully declare, “Hey wait… that’s my wife,” sealing their celebratory moment.
The couple’s happy news was met with excitement from fellow celebrities. Taylor Swift commented, “yes I will be the flower girl,” offering a sweet congratulations to her longtime friend. Other well wishes poured in from Jennifer Aniston, who wrote, “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!”, and Nina Dobrev, who exclaimed, “YES!!!! Congratulations!!!! So happy for you both!!!!” Dobrev herself became engaged to US Olympian Shaun White in October. The couple also received congrats from Gordon Ramsay, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cardi B, and the Disney’s “Wizards” Series account.
Gomez also shared a video on her Instagram Stories, showing her sharing the news with someone over FaceTime and declaring, “I said yes to this. “ “It’s so beautiful,” the unseen person responded.
This engagement marks a new chapter in the couple’s relationship, which has blossomed over the past year and a half. Gomez revealed last December that she and Blanco had been dating for six months.
