Selena Gomez has officially announced her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco, setting social media abuzz!
The acclaimed singer and actress shared the exciting news by posting a picture of her impressive engagement ring on Instagram, captioned "forever begins now." This announcement follows the couple's confirmation of their relationship last year. Pop sensation Taylor Swift was among the first to congratulate the pair, expressing her excitement with a playful comment about being the flower girl.
Gomez's engagement news was met with a flurry of well-wishes from celebrities across the entertainment industry. In addition to Swift, rapper Cardi B, actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Suki Waterhouse, as well as singer Lil Nas X, extended their congratulations.
Blanco humorously commented on Gomez's post, "Hey wait... that's my wife," adding a light-hearted touch to the joyous occasion. The announcement was further celebrated in an Instagram Story, where Gomez shared a video of her showing off the ring to her loved ones during a phone call.
Gomez and Blanco's relationship began publicly last year, but their professional collaboration dates back to 2019 with their song "I Can't Get Enough."
They also worked together on "Single Soon" in 2023. Blanco, known for his work with artists like Rihanna and Justin Bieber, expressed his admiration for Gomez during an appearance on the 'Drew Barrymore Show', calling her "the best, most genuine person."
Gomez, whose past relationships include Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, has built a successful career in music and acting. Her entrepreneurial ventures, particularly her Rare Beauty makeup line, have contributed significantly to her $1.3 billion fortune, earning her a spot on 'Bloomberg's' billionaire list this year.
Beyond these well-known relationships, Selena Gomez has been linked to other people over the years, but she has largely kept her love life more private in recent years. After her split from The Weeknd, she has talked about focusing on her mental health, personal growth, and her career.

While Selena Gomez has had her share of romantic ups and downs, she has shown resilience, personal growth, and a commitment to staying true to herself, both in her personal life and in her career.
