Selena Gomez has officially announced her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco, sharing the joyous news with her followers on Instagram. Posting a stunning image of her engagement ring, Gomez captioned it with “forever begins now,” signaling the start of a beautiful new chapter in her life. This announcement comes on the heels of the couple confirming their relationship last year.
Pop icon Taylor Swift was among the first to offer her congratulations, humorously stating she would be the flower girl. Other celebrities such as Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Suki Waterhouse, and Lil Nas X also expressed their excitement and well wishes for the couple.
In a heartfelt Instagram Story to her immense following of 423 million, Gomez shared a touching video revealing her ring to friends and family, showcasing her overwhelming happiness. “Yes to this,” she exclaimed, captured in the joyful moments of surprise and celebration.
Blanco, who is known for collaborating with major artists such as Rihanna and Justin Bieber, previously spoke affectionately about Gomez on the Drew Barrymore Show, praising her as “the best, most genuine person,” and reflecting on his amazement at their relationship.
Selena Gomez, famous for her work as both an actress and a singer, has enjoyed immense success, particularly this year, joining the ranks of billionaires with a net worth of approximately $1.3 billion, largely attributed to her successful Rare Beauty makeup line.
This engagement marks a significant milestone in Gomez’s life, as she continues to thrive, both personally and professionally. It illustrates the possibility of love amid the pressures of fame and the music industry, bringing hope and joy to her fans and followers around the globe.
