Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Are Engaged After a Year of Dating

It’s official: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are engaged! “Forever begins now,” Gomez wrote as she announced their news via an Instagram carousel on December 11, with her engagement ring front and center.

In the comments, Blanco responded: “Hey wait…that’s my wife.”

The Instagram announcement cycles through a selection of photos, starting with a close-up of Gomez’s engagement ring, a marquise-shaped diamond stone set on a pavé band. Her nails, of course, were a chic and milestone-ready sheer pink. Next, we see Gomez on a picnic blanket (the engagement scene?) with a bottle of fizz and some discarded Taco Bell.

Gomez and Blanco have been together publicly since December 2023. Professionally, they go way back with a slew of hits: Blanco produced Gomez’s “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em with Kindness” in 2015, and “Trust Nobody” in 2016. Their next major collaboration was on the 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough” with J Balvin and Tainy. In 2023, Blanco also produced her single “Single Soon.”

Appearing on The Stephen Colbert Show earlier this month, Gomez gave nothing away—or didn’t seem to be aware of the engagement plan. Colbert asked what Blanco’s “intentions” were with “America’s daughter,” to which she replied: “I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time.”
