Selena Gomez is officially engaged to music producer Benny Blanco. The “Who Says” singer shared the joyful news on December 11 through an Instagram post featuring photos of herself wearing a marquise-cut diamond ring and embracing her fiancé. Her caption read, “Forever begins now,” to which Benny affectionately responded in the comments, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The couple’s love story blossomed in 2023, nearly two decades after their initial introduction and five years after they collaborated on the hit song “I Can’t Get Enough.” Benny reminisced about their early connection in an April interview, sharing how they first met when Selena was transitioning from Disney star to music artist.
Their relationship officially began in the summer of 2023 while working on Selena’s track “Single Soon.” Benny described their first date as unintentional, admitting he didn’t realize it was a date until Selena made a playful comment. Since then, the couple has become inseparable, with Benny calling Selena his “best friend” and “inspiration.”
Both Selena and Benny have expressed their desire to start a family, adding another layer of excitement to their future together. Reflecting on her single years, Selena shared how she embraced independence before finding love with Benny, proving that sometimes, the best things happen when least expected.
