Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have even more reason to celebrate this holiday season.
Gomez revealed in a Dec. 11 Instagram post that she and the music producer are now engaged.
“forever begins now..,” she captioned a quartet of pictures.
The first shot featured the stunning ring (presumably on her hand), while the next one captured Gomez, 32, admiring the piece of jewelry while she sat on a picnic blanket.
The third photo showed an up-close pic of the “Only Murders in the Building” star laughing while the hand with her ring on it covered her mouth. The final image shows Blanco leaning over while he hugged and kissed Gomez in what appeared to be a bathroom closet while she smiled and showed off the ring.
Blanco, 36, had a sweet response to her post.
“hey wait… that’s my wife,” he wrote in the comments.
The news of their engagement brought out plenty of reactions from other stars and industry heavy hitters. Here’s a look at some of the warm wishes that were posted in her comment’s section.
- “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama! ❤️💫” — Jennifer Aniston
- “yes I will be the flower girl” — Taylor Swift
- “SELENAAAAAAA” — Gwyneth Paltrow
- “Congratulations to you both it must be the cooking ❤️❤️❤️ — Gordon Ramsay

- “OMMGGGGG CONGRATSSS AHHH” — Lil Nas X
The “Lose You to Love Me” singer also posted a short video on her Instagram stories in which it looked like she was showing off her ring in a video call on her phone, prompting the other person to shout in glee and declare that the bauble is “beautiful.”
Gomez and Blanco have known each other for years, but she appeared to confirm her romance with him in December 2023 when she wrote “facts” in response to an Instagram post that said she “seemingly confirms that’s she is in a relationship.”
A little more than a week after that, she posted a photo on Instagram of her and Blanco kissing.
“He’s wonderful,” she told TODAY’s Hoda Kotb at Rare Beauty’s Mental Health Summit in May.
The romance continued to evolve, with Gomez gushing about the relationship.
“I guess this is the safest I’ve ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person,” Gomez said in a Nov. 20 Hollywood Reporter article.
Blanco has also been candid about his feelings for Gomez, noting he only understood his interest in her when they were working during a recording session.
“I was the last one to know,” he told The Wall Street Journal in April. “It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that ‘Clueless’ moment where you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m in love.’”
