Selena Gomez has found her forever.
So she hopes, at least.
On December 11, the singer/actress confirmed via Instagram that she had agreed to marry boyfriend Benny Blanco after almost a year of dating.
And she couldn’t be happier!
“Forever starts now…” Gomez captioned her precious post, which features several photos of her and her future husband.
For his part, Blanco is ready to make their union official, commenting on Gomez’s announcement, “Oh wait…she’s my wife.”
Totally precious, right?
Meanwhile, it looks like Blanco popped the romantic question during a picnic date… as Gomez admired her ring while sitting on a blanket on a manicured lawn, surrounded by Taco Bell takeout and a wicker basket. Shared a photo.
The stars began dating in the summer of 2023 before going public later that year.
They got engaged almost two decades after they were first introduced. five Years later they collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough”.
how cool is that?!?
“We both met each other about 16, 17 years ago,” Blanco recalled in an April interview with SiriusXM Hits 1.
“Obviously, we’ve made a lot of songs together. But before we made any music together, I was at one of her big meetings – right when she was leaving Disney to make her own music.
During a May appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco told the host that he could see a marriage with the Only Murders in the Building cast in the future.
He said at the time, “When I look at it… I always feel like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.”
There have been rumors since August that Gomez and Blanco would get engaged.
And now, of course, this rumor is a wonderful reality.
In December, Gomez told a fan online that Benny was “my everything in my heart” and also confirmed that they had been together for six months.
Blanco clearly feels the same way.
“She’s actually my best friend,” he also told Howard Stern. “We laugh all day long. She inspires me.”
We’re so happy for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco!
