The singer shared the exciting news on Thursday with a heartfelt Instagram post, revealing her stunning engagement ring and a glimpse into the moment that marked the beginning of their forever. In her post, Selena wrote, "Forever begins now," signaling the start of a new chapter in their relationship. Benny Blanco, who is a talented music producer, quickly followed up with a playful comment, saying, "Hey wait… that’s my wife."

The first image captures the beautiful engagement ring, an elegant oval-cut diamond that Benny gave to Selena. The final picture shows the couple sharing a tender moment, with Selena proudly showing off her new ring as Benny cuddles with her. While fans were excited about the announcement, comments on Selena’s post have been limited to only those people they both follow on Instagram, meaning others are unable to comment on the post.
Selena and Benny have been publicly open about their relationship since December 2023, though they had been dating privately for about six months before making it official. Since then, the couple has shared several loving posts on social media, expressing their deep connection and affection for each other. They have also been spotted at various high-profile public events together, such as the Golden Globes, Primetime Emmys, and even at a basketball game between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers in April.
Benny Blanco, who has worked with many famous artists, including Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry, has expressed his admiration for Selena in interviews. In one such conversation, Benny called Selena his best friend, emphasizing how deeply he values their bond. He even hinted at the possibility of marriage, saying, “When I look at her... I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” reflecting on the happiness he feels in their relationship.
On the professional front, Selena has been busy with her acting career. Her latest project, Emilia Perez, which premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, received numerous Golden Globe nominations. The genre-bending film follows a high-powered lawyer who becomes entangled with a Mexican cartel leader. Selena plays Jessi, the ex-wife of the main character, in this Spanish-language musical thriller that explores themes of identity, transformation, and resilience.
