The couple, who had a long history before dating, finally took the next step in their relationship. For more details on the proposal, keep reading.

Their Relationship’s Beginning

The romantic relationship between the stars came to light in December 2023. However, this wasn’t the first time the two singers had crossed paths.

In 2015, Benny and Selena collaborated on Selena’s album Revival, and in 2019 they again worked professionally on the “I Can’t Get Enough” track. In 2023, the two seemed to be flirting on social media, but nothing was confirmed until the end of the year.

Proposal Details

The couple’s engagement was announced on December 11, after Thanksgiving 2024, shaking up the internet and the music industry. The proposal came as a complete surprise for Selena.

Later in the evening, the couple hosted an impromptu gathering with close friends and family. The couple was more than eager to share the good news with loved ones.

Engagement Announcement

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are on cloud nine with the engagement, and honestly, we get it. The news broke the internet when the Wolves singer shared an Instagram post with the caption, “forever begins now…”

The singer happily showed off her huge ring with an equally huge grin. The couple were seen embracing each other in one picture with Selena showing off her newly prized possession shyly.

The Ring

Benny Blanco got on one knee with a dazzling marquise-shaped ring. The ring is estimated to be about $$200,000 to $1 million.

Selena’s love for Marquise was pretty apparent as she sang about the diamond in her song “Good For You,” and it seemed like Benny was paying close attention.

Proposal Setting

The proposal setting involved a picnic, and a lush garden surrounded by tall trees and green grass. It couldn’t have been more perfect.

Benny proposed to Selena as they were out under the open sky having a little picnic for themselves. The Lose You To Love Me singer was seen sitting in the middle surrounded by taco-bell takeout.

Grandma’s Reaction

It seems like Selena’s grandmother is over the moon with the singer’s engagement as she posted a series of photos on Instagram with the caption, “Our prayers have been answered.”

Selena’s grandparents, Debbie Gibson and David Cornett were smiling ear-to-ear as they embraced the couple in a side hug. Gomez held her left hand up to show the engagement ring.

Celebrity Love

As soon as the post went live, the comment section was filled with love from Selena and Benny’s celebrity friends. Jennifer Aniston wrote, “HONEY!! Congratulations, sweet mama.”

Sofia Carson commended, “An infinity of love for you my sel.” Congratulations from Lil Nas X, Lily Collins, Gwyneth Paltrow, Gordon Ramsay, and Cara Delevingne also poured in.

Fans Reaction

There’s no doubt that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s engagement news broke the internet. With over 22.4M likes on the Instagram post, fans have been buzzing with excitement.

Selenators didn’t hold back from showing their excitement as one fan commented, “i’m still here… happiness looks so good on you” while another wrote, “eeekkkk omggg congrats sel so happy for you guyss seeing you happy is all us selenators ever want.”

Hailey Bieber’s Support

Hailey Bieber was one of the first ones to like Selena Gomez’s engagement post. This shows the supermodel’s support and love for the singer.

This subtle gesture also hints at an amicable relationship between the two celebrities. In an interview this year, Hailey shared how she didn’t like the idea of one team against another and she wanted to bring people together.

Taylor Swift’s Heartfelt Reaction

One of Selena’s closest friends, Taylor Swift was quick to congratulate her bestie on the proposal. She commented under the Instagram post saying, “Yes I’ll be the flower girl” earning likes from fans and friends.

This reaction was filled with warmth and genuine happiness showing the strength of their bond. Taylor has been a vocal supporter of Selena throughout these years and it seems like we’ll be seeing her at the wedding too.

Wedding Plans

It seems like Benny is already easing in with the wife word as the singer commented under the engagement post writing, “hey that’s my wife.” This shows how eager Benny is to see Selena as a bride.

Even though no official confirmation has been made by the couple, it does seem like the wedding is going to take place shortly. With the pace at which the couple’s relationship progressed, the wedding is for sure around the corner.

Keeping Things Low-Key

Earlier this month, Selena appeared on The Stephen Colbert Show. She was asked by the host about what Benny’s intentions were with “America’s daughter.”

To this, Selena replied, “I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time.” This shows either Selena wanted to keep things under wrap or wasn’t remotely aware of the upcoming engagement plan.

From Cooking to Dressing Up

This year, the couple were seen together on several occasions, which hinted at their growing relationship. For instance, Benny cooked a meal for 50 people at Thanksgiving.

The couple was photographed on several occasions including date nights, charity functions, and even award shows. The two even celebrated Halloween together with Selena as Alice in Wonderland and Benny as the Mad Hatter.

A Love Like No Other

Over the years, Selena has been in several relationships, some high-profile while others were kept low-key. But we’ve never seen Selena speaking so fondly about her significant others as she does with Benny.

The singer, in an interview with Vanity Fair, shared, “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light—a complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”

A Future Together

Benny doesn’t shy away from showing his love for Selena. The pop star appeared on The Howard Stern Show and said, “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.”

This was certainly an awe-worthy comment showing how deep in love Benny is with Selena. Do you know who else recently got engaged?
