Selena Gomez Gets Engaged to Benny Blanco: Celebrations Abound

Selena Gomez has officially announced her engagement to songwriter Benny Blanco, sharing the big news with her millions of followers.

Selena Gomez has taken to Instagram to announce her engagement to renowned songwriter Benny Blanco. The actress and singer, who boasts an impressive following of 423 million on the platform, shared a photo of her dazzling engagement ring with the caption "forever begins now." This declaration follows the couple's confirmation of their romantic relationship last year, creating a buzz among fans and celebrities.

Among the first to congratulate the pair was pop superstar Taylor Swift, who humorously declared on Gomez's post, "Yes I will be the flower girl." Other high-profile personalities, including Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Lil Nas X also extended their well wishes to the couple in light of this joyous occasion.

In a delightful Instagram Story, Gomez animatedly showcased her engagement ring to family and friends over video calls, exclaiming, "Yes to this," which elicited enthusiastic reactions from those on the other end. The love between Gomez and Blanco, who collaborated on the tracks “I Can’t Get Enough” and “Single Soon,” appears to be deepening. Blanco expressed his admiration for Gomez on the Drew Barrymore Show earlier this year, describing her as "the best, most genuine person."

Selena Gomez, known for her powerful vocals and acting chops, also made headlines recently for earning two Golden Globe nominations for her performances—in the best supporting actress category for her role in the operatic musical Emilia Pérez and for best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy for her part in Only Murders in the Building. She is not only thriving in her creative endeavors but also made it onto the billionaire celebrity rich list, with an estimated fortune of $1.3 billion, largely from her successful Rare Beauty cosmetics line.
