Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are now engaged, which is the next step in their year-long relationship. The couple has been enjoying a private romance since their relationship became public in 2023 and recently confirmed the engagement on social media, sending waves of excitement through their fanbases.
This came after months of growing speculation concerning the relationship between Gomez and the prominent music producer. At this time, fans began to find small clues that suggested the actress-singer and Blanco may just take the next step up.
The rumors then worsened when, on August 8, 2024, an excited social media post showed up on Instagram Stories where she posted a mirror selfie with the couple in it. In the photo, a pink heart emoji was over her left ring finger, and many fans took that as a clue she had been hiding a diamond ring.
The subtle move sent fans in a frenzy, but mostly after a blind item from celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi mentioned an A-lister getting engaged to her boyfriend of one year at a beach house. With the knowledge that Gomez owns a beach house in Malibu, it did not take long for the dots to connect and for speculation to surge even more.
A few days later, more signs pointed to an impending announcement. Gomez followed a prominent wedding planning company, CMG Weddings & Events, on TikTok. This wedding planning firm, based in California, serves a variety of high-profile clients, and many took this as an unmistakable sign that Gomez was preparing for a wedding.
Blanco, who has made a name for himself in the music industry, had also previously spoken about his desire to marry Gomez. In an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in May 2024, Blanco opened up about his feelings for his girlfriend.
When asked if he would propose, Blanco responded thoughtfully, saying, “When I look at her, I do say I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.'” Stern, predicting a proposal, urged him to make it official, to which Blanco replied, “You and me both.”
Their contribution represents a stage in a relationship that has become rather speedy. The couple first went public in 2023 but have not shared much detail about their love life.
However, their relationship appeared to be strengthening, and people preferred to focus when watching their behavior day by day. The proposal comes just one year after they began dating, a testament to the deep bond that has formed between them.
Gomez and Blanco’s engagement has already become a source of joy for fans, many of whom have expressed their excitement on social media. One TikTok user shared their enthusiasm, saying, “YESSSS, A WONDERFUL WEDDING IS IN THE MAKING AND I’M SO EXCITED! CANT WAIT!” Others offered their congratulations, with many sharing heartfelt messages wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness.
It is still unknown when the two lovebirds plan to have their wedding but rumors have it that in the next couple of months, more details will be unveiled; for now, Gomez and Blanco are tight-lipped.
It is still uncertain whether their wedding will be a huge celebrity-like wedding ceremony or actually a quiet elopement love affair; anyhow, it is an extremely joyful period in their life.
Just like Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco get to the next level in their relationship, the world eagerly awaits to see how the couple’s wedding will be as well as the life that the cute couple will start after they tie the knot.
