Selena Gomez engagement with her boyfriend Benny Blanco has set the internet buzzing. The love birds got engaged after dating for over a year. Selena shared her big news on Instagram on Wednesday with several pictures. The superstar showed a close-up of her beautiful engagement ring and a sweet photo of her and Benny Blanco laughing and hugging as they celebrated their engagement.
She added a heartwarming caption that said, “Forever begins now.”
Benny joined in on the fun by commenting, “Hey wait… that’s my wife,”
Selena also posted a mirror selfie on her Instagram Stories, giving everyone an even closer look at her sparkling new ring. The ring worth over $1 million is an 8-carat marquise-cut diamond paired with a gold band. It is covered in smaller sparkling stones.
Some fans also believe the ring is connected to Selena’s past. They think it’s a nod to her 2015 hit song “Good for You,” where she sang the line, “I’m in my marquise diamonds / I’m a marquise diamond.” If that’s true, it shows how much thought Benny put into choosing the perfect ring for Selena.

How Did These Two Meet?
Before they became a couple, Selena Gomez and her boyfriend Benny Blanco worked together on the song “I Can’t Get Enough” in 2019. The song, which also featured J Balvin and Tainy, had a fun music video where Selena playfully interacted with Benny, who was dressed in a giant teddy bear costume.
Fast forward to October 2023, Selena hosted her first Rare Impact Fund Benefit to support youth mental health. Among the guests was Benny Blanco. At that time, they hadn’t shared their relationship publicly, but they were already dating.
When rumors about their romance began to spread, Selena confirmed the news in comments to fans on Instagram. “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in response to a fan post. She also stood up for her relationship, saying, “If you actually care about me, this is my happiest. If you don’t, say whatever you want, but your words won’t guide my life. Ever.”
Selena even revealed that they had been together for six months by then, replying to a fan, “It’s been 6 months, bb.”
From their playful collaboration to their strong relationship, it’s clear that Selena and Benny have something special.
What Rumors Surround Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s Engagement?
Fans everywhere are celebrating the happy moment, but the internet is also buzzing with lots of rumors and theories about their engagement.
Some say Selena and Benny actually got engaged back in August but decided to keep it a secret for a while. They said she wanted to avoid drama since it was that same month her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber celebrated the birth of his first child.
Another cross-section of fans are convinced that the couple have been wearing matching rings for months as a secret hint about their engagement and brought up a photo to support their claims. Selena and Benny haven’t responded to these rumors, but it’s glaring that they are happy and in love. Sources close to the couple say they have a strong bond and are excited to start this new chapter together.
