Singer Selena Gomez’s Forever Begins Now. Selena Gomez announced her engagement to Benny Blanco just a day after opening up about feelings of loneliness in Hollywood.
After a year together, Selena Gomez and record producer Benny Blanco got engaged. Late on Wednesday, December 11, the singer posted images of herself with her now-fiancee, showing off a huge oval-cut diamond ring, to the pleasure of fans all around the world. Gomez’s Instagram post with the caption, “Forever begins now,” caused her close pals to celebrate, with many congratulating her in the comments section. One stuck out among the many remarks from well-known figures.
“Hey wait…that’s my wife,” wrote Blanco, who, since they started dating in public, has made it clear that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Gomez.
Given that Gomez had discussed loneliness the day before making the announcement, fans were particularly excited about the couple’s engagement. “I know firsthand how isolation can make you feel at times,” the Disney graduate said during her remark at the Academy’s Women’s Luncheon on Tuesday, December 10. Given her previous candor regarding mental health issues, supporters were compelled to relate her comments to her personal life even if they were about her work experiences.
According to reports, Gomez and Blanco started dating in June 2023, although at first, they kept their romance quiet. In December 2023, they made their romance public. They have since been spotted together at a number of high-profile occasions, such as the Golden Globes, the Primetime Emmys, and an April basketball game between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers.
In multiple interviews with the media, Blanco and Gomez have referred to one another as their best friends. He treats her with the highest care and respect, and she loves that about him, a source close to Gomez told People magazine, adding to the couple’s disclosures about their courtship. The source added that since the singer and Blanco started dating, her friends have observed that she is glowing again.
