Selena Gomez shocked fans on Wednesday night by revealing she is now engaged to her boyfriend Benny Blanco.
The singer, 32, revealed the news on Instagram, sharing the first photos of her massive diamond engagement ring with her 422million followers.
‘forever begins now..’ captioned the Who Said singer.
She also included a photo of herself showing off her ring for the camera as Blanco wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head.

Gomez has been dating Blanco since June 2023, though she did not confirm the relationship until that December.

At the time, she used Instagram to confirm to fans that she’d been secretly dating the hitmaker for six months and that he was her ‘absolute everything.’
Before getting romantic, Gomez and Blanco were friends for over a decade and even worked on music together.
He has produced three of the singer’s biggest hits, including the 2021 tune I Can’t Get Enough and 2015’s Same Old Love.
Last month, Blanco revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move.
‘She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me… like we were just talking, and then she said, “You wanna get dinner?” And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,’ he explained on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream.
Blanco claimed he wasn’t ‘nervous’ because he already knew Gomez on a personal and professional level.
‘No [I wasn’t nervous], ’cause I’ve been friends with her for years. We’ve been friends for like 10 years plus, maybe 15,’ he told Cenat.
Blanco said he and Gomez got drinks but that he didn’t immediately realize that he and the Rare Beauty founder were on a date.

‘I didn’t even realize we were on a date. And she was like, “I would’ve worn something different to this date.” And I was like, “Wait, what? We’re on a date?” I had no idea. No idea we were on a date,’ he said.
‘She left early because she had to go somewhere to film a video the next day, and then we hung out like two days later, and then I was like, “Yo, I think she likes me.” And then I literally just kissed her, and the rest is history.’
He went on to call Gomez his ‘best friend.’
Also last month, Gomez spoke about her ‘future’ with Blanco during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
The Emilia Perez star has had a slew of high-profile romances from fellow Disney Channel star Nick Jonas to her nearly decade-long on/off relationship with Justin Bieber.
But she told the outlet that Blanco is the one man who has made her feel the ‘safest.’
‘This is the safest I’ve ever felt in [a relationship], and I see a future with this person,’ she told the outlet.
The security Blanco provides has made her more comfortable with posting photos and videos of them online for her fans to see.
‘And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,’ Gomez noted.
