Selena Gomez, 32, shared the exciting news with her 450 million Instagram followers through a series of beautiful photos. One picture showed her sparkling engagement ring, while another captured a sweet moment of the couple hugging and laughing. She wrote the heartfelt caption, “forever begins now…”
Benny Blanco, 36, couldn’t hide his excitement either. He playfully commented, “hey wait… that’s my wife.” Selena also showed off her dazzling ring in a mirror selfie on her Instagram Story, giving fans another close-up look.
A Relationship Rooted in Music
Selena and Benny’s journey started through music long before they began dating. They met while working on the 2019 hit song “I Can’t Get Enough” with Tainy and J Balvin. However, their friendship turned into something more in June 2023.
In August 2023, Selena released a song called “Single Soon,” produced by Benny. This fueled dating rumors. By December 2023, Selena confirmed their relationship by liking fan posts and commenting, “He is my absolute everything in my heart.” Their first official public appearance as a couple came in January 2024 at the Emmy Awards.
Opening Up About Love
In February 2024, Selena spoke openly about their relationship in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
“Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she shared. “It’s really nice to lean on someone who understands the world I live in. It’s the safest I’ve felt, and I’ve only grown through it. It’s been really lovely.”
Benny shared similar feelings in a May 2024 interview on The Howard Stern Show. He said, “When I look at her… I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.”
Finding Love Unexpectedly
Selena has always been open about her personal life, including her experience with being single. In a May 2024 interview with TIME, she revealed that she had come to terms with being alone and even made future plans to adopt a child by age 35 if she hadn’t met someone special.
“I was alone for five years and got really used to it,” she shared. “A lot of people are afraid of being alone… I tortured myself for like two years, and then I kind of accepted it. Then I came up with my plan… and then, it just happened when I least expected it.”
Moments of Love and Celebration
Selena and Benny often shared sweet glimpses of their life together on social media. In March 2024, Selena posted a loving birthday message for Benny, praising his kindness and talent.
“Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive attitude, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor, and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco,” she wrote.
By July 2024, she posted another cozy picture of them relaxing in the sun, writing, “Thank you for sharing your life with me today and every day 🙂.”
The Moment It Clicked
For Benny, realizing he was in love with Selena took time. In a May 2024 interview with WSJ. Magazine, he admitted, “I was the last one to know. It’s crazy how your partner could be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice. Then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m in love.’”
Looking Ahead
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s love story is inspiring and full of joy. With their shared passion for music and deep respect for each other, their future looks bright. Fans are excited to see what comes next—whether it’s new music, special moments, or even a magical wedding.
