Washington (US), December 12:
Selena Gomez has officially announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, taking their relationship to the next level after over a year of dating.
The couple, who first sparked rumors of a romance in 2023, confirmed the happy news on social media, marking a major milestone in their journey together.
Gomez, 32, shared a heartwarming Instagram post showcasing her engagement ring, captioning it with the words, “Forever begins now.” Blanco, 36, joined in the excitement, humorously commenting, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The duo, known for their collaborations in the music world, first worked together on several tracks, including Gomez’s 2015 hit song Same Old Love. Their professional partnership later blossomed into a romantic relationship, which they confirmed publicly in 2023.
In December of that year, Gomez opened up about their bond, revealing they had been together for six months. In a heartfelt post, she described Blanco as “my everything” and credited him with bringing immense happiness into her life.
The couple’s relationship has been widely admired by friends and family, with insiders noting how much joy Gomez has found with Blanco. “He treats her with so much kindness and thoughtfulness,” a source shared, adding, “Selena hasn’t been this happy in years. Her glow says it all.”
Before her engagement to Blanco, Gomez was known for her high-profile relationships with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. Her on-and-off relationship with Bieber lasted from 2010 to 2018, while she briefly dated The Weeknd in 2017.
Now, with her engagement to Blanco, Gomez seems to have found her perfect match, starting a new chapter filled with love and excitement.
