Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially engaged, with the actress and singer sharing the happy news on Instagram Wednesday night.

“Forever begins now,” the Emilia Pérez star captioned a series of photos, showcasing her stunning diamond engagement ring.

One image featured Gomez smiling on a picnic blanket, gazing lovingly at her ring, while another captured a tender moment as Blanco kissed her on the head during a sweet embrace. The music producer added a playful comment to her post, writing, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”

Engagement rumors first surfaced in August when Gomez posted a photo on Instagram showing two strategically placed hearts over her left ring finger, sparking fan speculation. Blanco, 36, was also featured in the photo but faced away from the camera.

“She’s covering her finger!! Are they….,” one fan speculated at the time, while another exclaimed, “She’s def engaged 😭💍.”

The couple has been together for over a year. Gomez, 32, confirmed their relationship in December 2023, revealing that they had secretly been dating for six months before going public.

While fans had mixed reactions to their romance—given Blanco’s past professional relationship and friendship with Gomez’s ex, Justin Bieber—the “Love You Like a Love Song” singer stood firm.

She praised Blanco as “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her, confidently adding, “He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”

Their engagement marks a new chapter for Gomez, who has long been candid about her personal life, and a milestone for the couple, who have stayed grounded amidst public attention.
