Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have officially announced their engagement! The beloved singer, actress, and entrepreneur shared the joyful news on her Instagram account, showcasing her stunning engagement ring with the caption, “forever begins now…”
Gomez, who is 32 years old, confirmed her romantic relationship with the accomplished record producer, 36, back in December 2023, although reports of their budding romance date back to June of the previous year. The couple has a history of collaboration, having worked together on Gomez’s hits “Single Soon” from 2023 and the 2019 track “I Can’t Get Enough.”
In a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter last November, Gomez expressed her contentment in the relationship, stating that it is the safest she has ever felt and that she envisions a future with Blanco.
This year has been monumental for Gomez, marked by significant achievements in both her professional and personal life. At the Cannes Film Festival, she shared the best actress award with her fellow co-stars from “Emilia Perez.” She also earned an Emmy nomination for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her role in Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” Recently, Gomez received two Golden Globe nominations for her performances in “Emilia Perez” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
In addition to her acting accolades, Gomez was honored with the Equity in Entertainment Award at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment gala breakfast just last week. She also captivated audiences at the Academy Women’s Lunch.
Blanco’s career as a music producer is equally impressive, with collaborations that span across various major artists including Ed Sheeran, BTS, Eminem, and many others.
Overall, this engagement marks a thrilling new chapter for Gomez, blending success in her career with blossoming love. It’s a reminder of how personal and professional lives can flourish simultaneously, bringing positivity and hope for a bright future ahead.
