31-year-old American singer, Selena Gomez, has announced her engagement to record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco. The actress, singer, and business mogul took to Instagram today, December 12, 2024, to share the news, posting a picture of an engagement ring with the caption, “Forever begins now.” This announcement follows the confirmation of their relationship last year, and the internet is buzzing with congratulatory messages.
Among those celebrating the news is Gomez’s close friend and fellow pop star Taylor Swift, who enthusiastically commented, “Yes, I will be the flower girl.” Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lil Nas X also chimed in with warm wishes for the couple. In an Instagram Story, Selena shared a video showing off her ring to her loved ones during a video call.
Her words, “Yes to this,” were met with excited screams from the other side of the call. Gomez, who boasts a staggering 423 million Instagram followers, once again showed why she remains one of the most-loved figures on social media. Selena and Benny have shared a long creative history, collaborating on songs like I Can’t Get Enough (2019) and Single Soon (2023).
On the Drew Barrymore Show earlier this year, Blanco gushed about Gomez, describing her as “the best, most genuine person.” He added, “She’s one of the sweetest, most humble people I’ve ever met.”.
