The 32-year-old singer shares the news on Instagram, sparking congratulations from friends and fans alike
Selena Gomez has revealed she is engaged to music producer Benny Blanco, sharing the joyous news with her fans on Instagram. The 32-year-old singer and actress posted a heartfelt collection of images showing off her sparkling engagement ring while Blanco, 36, lovingly kissed her on the side of her head.
Alongside the sweet photos, Gomez wrote, “forever begins now,” with Blanco playfully responding, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.” The announcement quickly went viral, with messages of congratulations flooding in from friends, family, and fans around the world.
Celebrities were quick to join in the celebrations. Close friend Taylor Swift cheekily commented, “Yes, I will be the flower girl,” while Jennifer Aniston sent her best wishes, saying, “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!” Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, who appeared on Gomez’s cooking series Selena + Chef in 2022, also shared his excitement: “Congratulations to you both, it must be the cooking.”

Speaking about her relationship with Blanco earlier this year, Gomez opened up to Zane Lowe on Apple Music, emphasising the importance of mutual respect.
She said, “I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you. And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in. But I’d have to say overall it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”
The announcement comes just days after Gomez received two Golden Globe nominations. She was recognised for her role as a supporting actress in the Spanish-language drama Emilia Perez, which tells the story of four women on their journeys to find the lives they’ve always wanted. Additionally, she received a nod in the TV actress category for her performance in the hit comedy-drama Only Murders In The Building, which also stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.
With her career thriving, Selena Gomez’s personal life is also blooming, and fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next for the actress, singer, and now-fiancée.
