Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco after over a year of dating. The couple, who went public with their relationship in December 2023, shared the news on Instagram, with Gomez captioning her post, "Forever begins now." The announcement included photos of Gomez showcasing a Marquise-cut diamond engagement ring, reportedly worth $1 million, which holds a special connection to her song "Good for You." Blanco, 36, and Gomez, 32, have collaborated on several projects in the past, including the 2019 track "I Can't Get Enough." The engagement coincided with the 15th anniversary of Gomez's hit song "Naturally." The couple celebrated their engagement with a low-key gathering attended by close friends and family. Celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Cardi B, and Jennifer Aniston congratulated the couple, with Swift humorously offering to be the flower girl. The proposal photos also featured Taco Bell, adding a casual touch to the celebration.
