Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are taking their love story to the next level: Marriageville. Yes, you read that right. Selena, the 32-year-old queen of pop and plot twists (hello, Emilia Perez), said “yes” to Benny Blanco, the 36-year-old producer of bops and, apparently, hearts. The announcement dropped on Instagram this Wednesday (December 11), sending fans into a frenzy and single people into their fridge for emotional snacks.
Selena’s caption was short, sweet, and straight out of a rom-com: “Forever begins now.” Cue the swooning! She paired it with a glamor shot of her sparkling engagement ring, which could probably guide ships at sea with its brilliance.
But wait—there’s more! Selena didn’t just serve ring content; she gave us a whole mood board. Exhibit A: a picnic date with Benny, proving that love is real and carbs are essential. Exhibit B: a selfie where the ring was practically screaming, “LOOK AT ME!” And Exhibit C: the couple cuddling in a closet, because apparently, that’s where love lives now.
Meanwhile, Benny hopped into the comment section like a proud fiancé, captioning his own post with “Hey wait… that’s my wife.” Sir, we see you, and we love the energy.
For those keeping score at home, Selena and Benny made their relationship public just a year ago, in December 2023. By August 2024, engagement rumors were swirling like pumpkin spice lattes in fall. And now, here we are, basking in the glow of true love and a ring that probably has its own insurance policy.
Congrats to the happy couple! May your love be as timeless as Selena’s music and as smooth as Benny’s beats. Also, if the wedding is as Instagrammable as this announcement, we’re gonna need front-row seats—at least digitally. 💍
