Selena Gomez has shared exciting news: she is engaged to music producer Benny Blanco.
The 32-year-old singer and actress delighted fans by posting a series of photos on Instagram, where she proudly displayed her engagement ring. In one of the pictures, she was seen planting a kiss on her head by Blanco, 36. She captioned the post “forever begins now,” while Blanco playfully wrote, “Hey wait. that’s my wife.”
The news sparked mixed reactions from the celebrities. Taylor Swift responded, “Yes I will be the flower girl,” with Jennifer Aniston expressing, “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!” Gordon Ramsay who had been a part of Gomez’s cooking show series Selena + Chef since 2022 ascribed their cooking escapades to her engagement. “Congratulations to you both, must be the cooking,” he wrote.
Gomez and Blanco started dating in June 2023, although their first encounter was in 2019 when they collaborated with Gomez on her song I Can’t Get Enough. This year, in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Gomez talked about her relationship in a very positive tone. “I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she said. “It’s really nice to lean on someone who understands the world I live in. Overall, it’s the safest I’ve felt, and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
This is one of those joyous occasions that is also a moment of professional triumph for Gomez. The singer was recently nominated for a Golden Globe in the performance of Emilia Perez, a Spanish-language drama musical, which brings to light the transformative journeys of four women. Gomez takes a pivotal role alongside Zoe Saldana, Karla Sofia Gascón, and Adriana Paz.
Besides the film nomination, Gomez also received recognition in the TV category for her outstanding performance in Only Murders in the Building. The popular Disney+ series, which stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, continues to receive critical acclaim, with Gomez’s performance praised for its humor and depth.
This is another milestone chapter in the life of Gomez, who started from being a Disney Channel star and now is a multifaceted star in music, film, and television. It is an eagerly celebrated phase of her life and career by fans and friends.
