Selena Gomez announces her engagement to Benny Blanco with giant diamond ring
Only Murders in the Building star Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to Benny Blanco.
The singer-actress, 32, displayed her left hand featuring a huge diamond encrusted engagement ring on her Instagram page with her 422million followers.
Gomez and Blanco, 36, have been dating since June 2023.
She shared the news via an Instagram carousel on Wednesday, including an up-close snap of her engagement ring and a pic of her and Blanco celebrating their engagement with laughs and a hug.
Blanco was also 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.
Taylor Swift celebrated by offering to be her flower girl.
She commented, "yes I will be the flower girl," before Jennifer Aniston added, HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!"
Cardi B also commented on the pic writing, "Waiiiitttt hold on," followed by a series of surprise and heart emojis while Gwyneth Paltrow exclaimed, "SELENAAAAAAA."
Emily in Paris star Lily Collins and Lil Nas also posted comments to celebrate the moment.
During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show earlier this year, Blanco told Stern that he could see marriage in his future with Gomez.
“When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” he said at the time.
Gomez and Blanco had known each other for years having collaborated on the 2019 single I Can't Get Enough with Tainy and J Balvin before they were romantically linked in June 2023.

In August 2023, Gomez released the Blanco-produced single, Soon.
In December 2023, she confirmed their relationship when she liked fan account posts on Instagram of the pair, even commenting, “He is my absolute everything in my heart,” on one. They made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmys in January.
The following month Gomez spoke to Apple Music's Zane Lowe about their relationship.
“Without getting into too much detail, I think it's just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she said. “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.”

Gomez is currently starring alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short as well as Meryl Streep in the critically acclaimed and award-winning Disney+ series Only Murders in the Building.
In an interview with TIME in May, the Rare Beauty founder, 31, spoke about her relationship with the music producer, noting that if the two hadn't met, her future plans included adopting a baby a few years down the road.
"I was alone for five years and I got really used to it. A lot of people are afraid of being alone and I probably tortured myself in my head for like two years being alone, and then I kind of accepted it," Gomez told the publication in May.
"Then I came up with my plan, which was I was going to adopt at 35 if I had not met anyone," she continued, referring to her relationship with Blanco ."It just happens when you least expect it."
In March, Gomez shared a sweet birthday tribute to Blanco on Instagram.
"Happy birthday baby! Your emotional endurance, positive disposition, unbelievable talent (that blows me away), undeniable humor and loving, kind heart absolutely kill me. I love you @itsbennyblanco," she captioned a carousel of images of the pair.

In a May interview with WSJ magazine, Blanco revealed that it took him some time to realise he had feelings for Gomez.
"I was the last one to know," Blanco said. "It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, 'Wait, I’m in love.'"
In July, Gomez gave another special shoutout Blanco on Instagram sharing several snaps of the pair cuddling up and lounging on chairs in the sun.
"Thank you for sharing your life with me today and every day," Gomez captioned the post.
