Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have made their love official, sending fans into a frenzy with their engagement announcement.
The celebrated singer and producer, who have collaborated creatively in the past, now embark on a new chapter of their lives together.
From friendship to engagement: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s love story
Selena Gomez, 32, shared the joyous news of her engagement to Benny Blanco, 36, through an Instagram post on 11 December. The post featured a carousel of moments, including a close-up of her stunning engagement ring and a heartwarming photo of the couple laughing and embracing. Accompanied by the caption ‘forever begins now,’ Gomez’s announcement was quickly met with excitement from fans and celebrities alike.
Blanco himself chimed in with a playful comment, writing, ‘hey wait… that’s my wife,’ as the couple celebrated their milestone. Gomez later gave followers another look at her engagement ring with a mirror selfie shared on her Instagram Stories.
The couple’s love story dates back years before romance blossomed. After collaborating on their 2019 hit single ‘I Can’t Get Enough’, the duo kept their relationship platonic until they started dating in June 2023. From there, their bond grew quickly, leading to a red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys and heartfelt tributes shared on social media.
Why Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s love stands out: Growth, respect, and connection
In interviews throughout the year, Gomez has opened up about her relationship with Blanco, describing it as her most supportive and fulfilling partnership to date. Speaking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Gomez highlighted the importance of finding someone who respects and understands her life in the public eye.
“It’s the safest I’ve ever felt in a relationship,” she said. “It’s been really lovely, and I’ve only grown through it.”
Blanco echoed similar sentiments during a Wall Street Journal interview, where he admitted it took time for him to realise his feelings for Gomez. “It’s crazy how your partner could be right in front of you the whole time,” he reflected, describing the moment he fell in love as a ‘Clueless moment.’
Gomez also shared how her relationship shifted her personal plans for the future. In a May TIME interview, she revealed that before meeting Blanco, she had decided to adopt a child by the age of 35 if she hadn’t found a partner. “It just happens when you least expect it,” she remarked, reflecting on how love entered her life when she had grown comfortable being alone.
