Oh my gosh, can you, like, even believe it?! Selena Gomez is officially engaged to Benny Blanco! đź’Ť The couple made things official on December 11, 2024, when Selena shared the most gorgeous pics of her marquise diamond engagement ring on Instagram. I mean, seriously, this ring is, like, everything. She captioned the post with, “Forever begins now,” and Benny jumped in with a comment that said, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.” Like, squee! How adorable is that? Fans have been freaking out about this announcement, and who can blame them?!​
Okay, let’s talk about Selena for a sec. We’ve literally watched her grow up, from Wizards of Waverly Place to being a major force in both music and acting. She’s so inspiring, right? Not only is she talented and totally iconic, but she’s also been super open about her mental health journey and her battle with lupus, using her platform to help others. She’s always been, like, a role model for so many of us​.
And then, there’s Benny. Sigh. He’s a music producer who’s worked on the biggest hits ever. He’s behind tracks for artists like Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran, and Halsey, so you know he’s super legit in the music industry. And, like, he and Selena have worked together before on her 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough,” so it’s, like, no surprise that they have this amazing connection​.
The couple’s been together since June 2023, but they kept things pretty low-key, so this engagement is, like, the cutest thing ever. Oh, and the engagement ring? It’s a marquise diamond, which is, like, super classic and super fancy. The marquise cut actually dates back to 18th-century France when King Louis XV created it for his mistress—how romantic is that?! Talk about some serious history​.
Of course, Selena’s engagement announcement has gotten tons of love from her famous friends, especially Taylor Swift. Taylor commented on the post with, “Yes, I will be the flower girl.” Like, could they be any cuter?! It’s honestly just the best thing ever​.
I’m so excited for these two, and I can’t wait to see what their wedding’s going to be like! If it’s anything like their relationship, it’s going to be, like, totally perfect. #CoupleGoals, for sure!
XOXO,
