Selena Gomez announces engagement to boyfriend Benny Blanco
After receiving two Golden Globe nominations earlier this week, Selena Gomez has another reason to celebrate. She's engaged.
The actress, businesswoman and singer posted on her Instagram account announcing the news of her engagement to boyfriend Benny Blanco.
Gomez, 32, posted several photos showing off her new ring with the caption, "Forever begins now." Blanco commented on the post saying, "hey wait… that's my wife."
Gomez and Blanco went public with their relationship in December 2023. They've been seen at red-carpet events, courtside at NBA games and on each other's social media accounts.
Celebrity friends like Grammy-award-winning artist, Taylor Swift also left comments.
Blanco is a music producer who has worked on hits for artists like Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears and SZA.
On Monday, the Texas native received two Golden Globe nominations for her roles in "Emilia Pérez" and "Only Murders in the Building."
In a candid interview with Vanity Fair in September, Gomez shared for the first time that she can't carry her own children. She said due to medical issues it would put her and the baby's life in danger.
In 2013, Gomez was diagnosed with lupus. She underwent chemotherapy to help treat the chronic autoimmune illness. Lupus causes the body's immune system to attack healthy tissue. In 2017, she required a kidney transplant.
