Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially engaged, closing 2024 with a heartfelt celebration. The 32-year-old singer shared the joyous news on Instagram on December 11, captioning her post, “[Forever] begins now…” Her carousel of photos included a stunning close-up of her marquise-cut diamond ring, a playful selfie showing her excitement, and a tender moment with Benny embracing her. Blanco added to the sweetness by commenting, “[Hey] wait… that’s my wife.”
Fans and celebrities flooded Gomez’s post with love. Taylor Swift joked, “[Yes] I will be the flower girl,” while Jennifer Aniston and Cardi B shared their enthusiasm. Social media erupted with discussions about the ring, described as elegant and timeless by many, though others had mixed opinions. One Reddit user celebrated its simplicity, writing, “Congrats to her! Beautiful ring and not ginormous too!”
