I’ll admit it: I have not been a supporter of Selena Gomez’s relationship with Benny Blanco. I felt like there was another shoe to drop, or that he would turn out to be an idiotic man-child who was wasting her time. But Benny stuck around… for a year, and this is maybe the happiest Selena has been in a while. Benny just proposed, and Selena obviously said yes. She posted photos of her ring – a nice-sized marquise diamond – on her Instagram with the caption “forever begins now.”
Congratulations are in order for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco! The singer-actress, 32, announced that she and the producer, 36, are engaged!
She shared the news via an Instagram carousel on Wednesday, Dec. 11, including an up-close snap of her engagement ring and a pic of her and Blanco celebrating their engagement with laughs and a hug.
“forever begins now..,” she captioned the post.
Blanco is ready to make their union official as he commented, “hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The bride-to-be also proudly posted a mirror selfie, showing off her new ring even more in her Instagram Stories. During a May appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco told Stern that he could see marriage in his future with the Only Murders In The Building actress.
I’m sort of examining my own feelings about why I was sure Benny would end up screwing her over. I think it’s because Selena has historically had a bad picker? But maybe she’s changed or maybe she accidentally found a good guy. Anyway, congrats to them. One great thing is that he seems fine with Selena being “the star” of the relationship. He doesn’t seem insecure about that at all, which is what she needs.
