Are Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Engaged?
On December 11, 2024, Selena broke the big news that Benny proposed! By taking to her Instagram, the Emilia Perez actress showed off her engagement ring in a series of photos alongside the caption, “Forever starts now.” In one image, Selena sat on a blanket outside in what appeared to be a picnic proposal. In another shot, Benny held her while giving Selena a kiss.
Social media users noticed that the Only Murders in the Building actress snapped a mirror selfie, in which they thought that her ring finger was hidden underneath two pink heart emojis.

Another X account tweeted that celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi claimed that an insider revealed Selena and Benny got engaged. However, no other outlet has confirmed any engagement news. Not only that, but neither the Disney Channel alum nor the record producer has publicly addressed the DeuxMoi rumor.
Even though they may or may not be engaged at the moment, Benny previously revealed his future plans with Selena. While speaking with Howard Stern in May, the host pressed Benny on when he was planning to pop the big question.
“When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” Benny gushed at the time. Though he still played it coy when it came to the engagement questions, the songwriter agreed with Howard that he also predicts marriage in their future.
“People always said this to me, when you know you meet your best friend — she truly is my best friend,” he said. “We laugh all f**king day, she inspires me.”
When Did Selena and Benny Start Dating?
Selena didn’t reveal her relationship until December 2023 — about six months after she and Benny started dating. During his interview with Howard, Benny noted that their anniversary is in July, which indicates that they started dating in July 2023.
Does Selena Want to Get Married?
