It’s official: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are engaged, 18 months after they began dating.
Gomez, 32, announced the news of her betrothal in a sweet Instagram post, sharing a series of images of herself flaunting an enormous diamond ring, while sobbing with joy as she embraces her new fiancé. She captioned the post: “Forever begins now.”
One of the images showed the singer sitting atop a picnic blanket with a delicious-looking spread of Taco Bell dishes around her, suggesting that Blanco, 36, may have popped the question in the sweet setting.
Gomez and Blanco’s relationship milestone was met with elation from her celebrity pals, with Taylor Swift even offering herself up as a potential bridal party member, commenting: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”
Since the duo began dating, former Disney star Gomez has also seen her professional life flourish, earning herself the ultra elite billionaire status this fall, an achievement that was prompted largely by the success of her Rare Beauty brand, which is now valued at $2 billion.
She’s also reaching new heights on social media, becoming the most-followed woman on Instagram, where she has amassed a legion of 423 million fans.
Now that they’ve “put a ring on it,” the couple needs to decide which of their many mansions will become their marital home.
Take a look at their opulent options.
Encino estate In 2020, the singer purchased fellow musician’s Tom Petty’s former SoCal estate for $4.9 million.
The 9,000-square-foot property was custom-built in 1989.
