Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco after more than one year of dating, sharing the happy news in a social media post showcasing her oval-shaped engagement ring with the caption: “forever begins now..”
The 32-year-old Gomez also shared a photo carousel including an image of the actress sitting on a picnic blanket, with two Taco Bell boxes and an ice bucket. The announcement drew congratulation from celebrities and fans, with Taylor Swift commenting: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Gomez also shared a photo of herself while holding her hand to her face, and a photograph of Blanco and Gomez. Blanco, 36, wrote in the caption: “Hey wait… That’s my wife.”
Gomez was asked last month about her relationship with Blanco, and told The Hollywood Reporter: “I guess this is the safest I’ve ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person. And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down. Like, if they hear something, they’re going to, but if you’re like, ‘I did it,’ they’re like, ‘Oh, well there’s you, just going to [restaurant] Sushi Park. But there’s so much of my relationship people don’t see, that’s just mine.”
