In a recent post, Selena Gomez hinted at the possibility of her engagement to Benny Blanco by posting a selfie that appeared to be of a bride, with her ring finger concealed by heart emojis.
Now, an unnamed source has confirmed to Life & Style Magazine that formal announcements of their engagement are on the horizon.“Selena has been wearing a ring on that finger. It’s just a matter of time before she and Benny make an official announcement,” it claimed.
“Selena’s never been happier and she’s told everyone that he’s The One. Benny makes her feel like a queen every day. He’s everything she could want in a husband,” the anonymous insider stated.
With a selfie that she posted to Instagram Stories on Monday, August 19, the 32-year-old star of "Only Murders in the Building" demonstrated once more how close and committed the couple is to one another. Benny, who was 36 years old at the time, was washing his face while wearing white pajamas as Selena took a mirror photo of the couple's bedtime routine.
The adorable moment occurred as the couple was getting ready for bed. While she was taking the picture, Selena, too, was dressed in a white pajama set and was putting her arm around her boyfriend.
In a separate Instagram Story that he posted on the same day, the record producer expressed his gratitude for the affection. She was genuinely glowing with a large smile in the still photo that he shared with Selena, which was taken during a FaceTime session with her.
Since the news of their relationship was publicly disclosed in December 2023, the couple has made it quite apparent how much they value and care for one another.
On December 7, 2023, Selena announced that she was in a relationship with Benny. This came after a fan account was the first to upload a snapshot of the two of them together. In the comments section, the singer who is known for her song "Same Old Love" said, "He is my absolute everything in my heart."
Immediately after receiving criticism from a single individual regarding her selection of a guy, Selena answered by asking, “Then why has he been the best thing that’s ever happened to me? The end.” After the same critic referred to Selena's comment as "corny," she responded once more by adding, "Lol yeah and he's still better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts"
After some time had passed, the star of "Spring Breakers" disclosed that the two had been covertly dating for a period of six months. In a short amount of time, she started posting images of her and Benny's passionate PDA on social media. The couple held their first public date night on January 8 when they went to a Los Angeles Lakers game and sat courtside. This was their first public date night.
During the years of her rocky on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber, which began in 2011 and ended for good in 2018 when he married Hailey Bieber, Selena disclosed in July that she was "so depressed." This relationship began in 2011 and lasted until 2018.
On June 3, a user of TikTok uploaded a video of the singer known for her song "Single Soon" when she was younger. The description of the video read, “I know and so do you that at the time she never would have gotten engaged to Benny. She was in her IT GIRL era.”
On July 31, Selena came upon the video and said, “Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol.”
A statement that Benny made during his appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” on May 15 indicated that he was of the opinion that the couple would eventually get married.
The songwriter revealed that on their first Valentine's Day together as a couple, he wooed Selena by hiring out a movie theater so that they could see "Almost Famous," which was her favorite film.
Benny was commended by Howard, who is 70 years old, for "knocking it out of the park," and Howard stated, "I'm predicting marriage." This is the response that the native of Reston, Virginia gave: "You and me both." Benny added, “When I look at her, I’m always just like, ‘I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.'”
Benny revealed that he and Selena are definitely going to have children in the near future. That’s the next goal, to check the box. I have a ton of godkids, I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids,” he confessed.
Next up, wedding planning. “Selena wants a big wedding with family and friends to witness and celebrate. So, this won’t be a situation where they run off and elope,” the anonymous insider shared.
