Selena Gomez Engaged to Benny Blanco: A New Chapter Begins

Selena Gomez has officially announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, sharing the moment with her extensive social media following and receiving enthusiastic congratulatory messages from friends in the industry.

Selena Gomez has taken to social media to announce her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco, delighting fans and friends alike. The singer and actress shared a photo of her impressive engagement ring on Instagram, accompanied by the caption "forever begins now," marking the beginning of this new chapter in her life. This announcement follows the couple's confirmation of their romantic relationship last year.

Prominent figures in the entertainment industry, including pop star Taylor Swift, have publicly expressed their happiness for the couple. Swift humorously added in the comments, "Yes I will be the flower girl," while Blanco playfully responded to Gomez's post with, "Hey wait... that's my wife." Other notable celebrities such as Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Suki Waterhouse, and Lil Nas X also shared their well wishes.

In a video shared on her Instagram Story with her massive follower base of 423 million, Gomez excitedly revealed her engagement ring to her loved ones over a video call. Her joyful response, "Yes to this," prompted enthusiastic screams from those on the other end.

The couple has collaborated on music projects in the past, including the songs "I Can't Get Enough" in 2019 and "Single Soon" earlier this year. Benny Blanco, an accomplished producer known for his work with artists like Rihanna and Justin Bieber, expressed deep affection for Gomez during an appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show, describing her as "the best, most genuine person."

Gomez, who gained fame as a child actress on "Barney" and Disney Channel, also made headlines recently for her notable achievements, including being added to the billionaire celebrity list with a fortune of $1.3 billion largely from her cosmetic line, Rare Beauty. She received two Golden Globe nominations this year, one for her supporting role in the musical "Emilia Pérez" and another for her lead role in the series "Only Murders in the Building."
