Inside Selena Gomez’s very low-key engagement celebration to Benny Blanco surrounded by their closest friends and family
As a seasoned observer of the world of celebrity relationships, I must say that Selena Gomez’s life has been a rollercoaster ride of love and heartbreak. From her early days with Justin Bieber to her more recent romance with Andrew Unterberger, it’s clear that Selena has learned to navigate the complexities of celebrity dating with grace and resilience.
Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco, had a quiet, intimate gathering with their dearest friends and relatives to celebrate their engagement festivities.
On Wednesday, the 32-year-old actress surprised her fans by disclosing that she’s now engaged and displayed her impressive diamond engagement ring to her 422 million social media followers.
In one heartwarming snap, Selena proudly held up her ring while posing alongside a female friend who captioned the photo: ‘@SelenaGomez bride era activated’.
In a natural and easy-to-read manner, the star of “The Only Murders in the Building” was spotted joining Benny’s family during their photo sessions. This included posing alongside Jeremy, Benny’s older brother, as well as his parents, Andrew and Sandra.
In a photograph, Selena intertwined arms with her future spouse, while Benny’s mom tenderly touched his arm.
The star – who beamed from ear to ear – was dressed casually in a black jumper and dark tracksuit bottoms.
In my own words, I’d express it like this: “When she shared the exciting news, Selena penned, ‘Now begins forever,’ accompanying her post with an image capturing our heartfelt moment. There, in the snapshot, she flaunts her ring while Benny affectionately embraces her and plants a gentle kiss on her head.
It appears that well-known music producer, Benny, proposed marriage during an intimate evening picnic, complete with Taco Bell.
The beloved pair was showered with affection by their high-profile celebrity acquaintances such as Cardi B, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Taylor Swift, a close friend of Gomez.
Swift — who has been friends with Gomez since 2008 — offered to be the couple’s ‘flower girl.’
Blanco himself also left a cheeky comment in which he referred to Gomez as his ‘wife.’
‘hey wait… that’s my wife,’ wrote the musician, who earned nearly 150,000 ‘likes.’
Since June 2023, Selena has been in a relationship with Benny. However, it wasn’t until December of the same year that she publicly acknowledged their romantic connection.
In that period, she utilized Instagram to let her followers know that she had been in a clandestine relationship with the hitmaker for six months, referring to him as her “complete everything.
In the past, the singer known as Wolf date had relationships with artists like The Weeknd, Zedd, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner, and there were rumors about her dating Zayn Malik and Andrew Taggart from The Chainsmokers as well.
Apart from being well-known for her turbulent yet prolonged connection with Justin Bieber (aged 30), which lasted eight years on and off before ending in 2018, she is now married to model Hailey Bieber (aged 28). They recently became parents to a newborn son in August.
For more than ten years, Selena and Benny had a friendship that ran deep, and they also collaborated on numerous music projects. Only after this strong foundation was established did their relationship take on a romantic aspect.
He’s responsible for creating some of the artist’s most popular songs, such as “I Can’t Get Enough” from 2021 and “Same Old Love” from 2015.
Last month, Benny revealed that it was Selena who made the first move.
He shared that she invited him out for a date. He was surprised, very surprised, as it happened quite unexpectedly during their conversation. He continued, “We were just chatting, and then all of a sudden she said, ‘Fancy grabbing some dinner?’ I accepted the invitation, but I had no idea what was coming next.
Blanco asserted that he wasn’t feeling anxious as he was well acquainted with Gomez, both personally and professionally.
He informed Cenat that he was not anxious because they had been friends for a long time, approximately ten to fifteen years.
Blanco mentioned they both had some drinks, but it wasn’t until later that he understood his outing with the founder of Rare Beauty was actually a date.
He admitted that he hadn’t realized they were on a date, and when she commented, “I would have dressed differently for this occasion,” he was taken aback, saying, “What? We’re on a date?” It turns out, he had no clue about the nature of their outing.
She departed ahead of schedule since she needed to travel to a location for a video shoot the following day. We met up again about two days later, and at that point, I felt like she might be interested in me. So, without further ado, I leaned in and kissed her, and that’s where our story continues.
He went on to call Selena his ‘best friend.’
Just last month, I was all aflutter hearing Selena talk about her potential future with Blanco in an exclusive chat with The Hollywood Reporter – a conversation that left me breathless with anticipation!
Emilia Perez has been involved in several well-known romantic relationships, ranging from Disney Channel co-star Nick Jonas to an almost ten-year long relationship (on and off) with Justin Bieber.
But she told the outlet that Blanco is the one man who has made her feel the ‘safest.’
In all my years, I’ve never felt as secure as I do now in this relationship, and I can envision a future with this special someone, I shared with the media outlet.
Due to the high level of security offered by Blanco, she feels more at ease sharing photos and videos of herself online for her followers’ enjoyment.
‘And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,’ Gomez noted.
Initial whispers of an engagement emerged in August, as observant fans picked up on Selena Gomez subtly covering her left ring finger with a pink heart emoji while sharing a selfie on Instagram Stories.
Over the weekend, there were rumors swirling as DeuxMoi posted a tip suggesting that Gomez might have gotten engaged in a gathering of friends at their regular beach retreat during the previous month.
It appears that Gomez put an end to the speculation, as she was spotted out in public only a few days later, no longer wearing a wedding ring.
Before their scheduled meeting on Wednesday, both Gomez and Blanco have openly talked about the prospect of tying the knot.
While appearing on Howard Stern in May, Blanco said he could see himself marring the billionaire.
He made the reveal after Stern asked him to share was going to ask Gomez for her hand in marriage.
He often finds himself exclaiming, “I can hardly imagine a more perfect scenario than this when I gaze upon her,” he enthused.
Stern then predicted marriage in their future, and Blanco replied, ‘You and me both.’
Previously in the same conversation, Blanco shared his aspiration to have children with Gomez in the future. He said, “That’s my next milestone [to achieve] on my list. I have many godchildren, I have numerous nephews. I enjoy being around kids,” when speaking with Stern.
Speaking of Blanco’s remarks about marriage and kids at the Time 100 Event back in May, let me tell you, this guy couldn’t fib his way out of a paper bag! When he gets asked a question, he’ll give it to you straight up.
I deeply treasure each instant spent with him. I may not be able to predict the future, but I am confident that he won’t be leaving me anytime soon.
Afterward, Gomez disclosed her intention to adopt a child on her own should she not find the suitable partner before turning 35.
Selena admitted, ‘For the past five years, I’ve grown accustomed to solitude.’ Initially, I may have struggled with loneliness for about two years, but eventually, I came to terms with it.
She mentioned that if she hadn’t found someone by then, her intention was to adopt at the age of 35.
Gomez’s desire to adopt is rooted not only in her plans but also in her inability to bear children because of health issues, primarily her struggle with the persistent autoimmune disorder Lupus.
In an interview with Vanity Fair in September, she expressed that she needed to mourn the fact she couldn’t conceive a child naturally.
She informed the publication that she had never made this statement before, but regrettably, she is unable to bear her own children.
As a devoted admirer, I find myself grappling with a daunting reality. My health complications pose a significant risk not only to my own existence but also to the life of a potential child. This heart-wrenching truth has required me to endure a period of profound sorrow and reflection.
Despite the fact that her journey towards becoming a mother may take an unconventional form, the actress remains steadfast in her desire to become a parent at some point in the future.
She shared with the media: “It didn’t quite turn out as I had imagined. I assumed it would follow a path common to most people.
I’ve greatly improved my situation regarding that matter. It’s truly heartening to know that there are compassionate individuals ready to offer surrogacy or adoption, providing significant opportunities for me in the future.
She expressed her deep gratitude for alternative paths for individuals longing to become mothers. Indeed, she belongs to this group herself. She is eagerly anticipating the unique experience this journey will bring, although it may take a slightly distinct form.
Selena expressed that through surrogacy or adoption, the child will be ‘mine.’
‘At the end of the day, I don’t care. It’ll be mine. It’ll be my baby,’ she expressed.
Initially, the music producer Blanco faced opposition from Gomez’s fans upon the public revelation of their relationship. However, over time, these same fans have grown more accepting and even supportive of Blanco.
Following Gomez’s announcement in December 2023 that they were an item, fans re-shared a video from 2020 where Blanco appeared to critique his now-fiancee while complimenting her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, whom he collaborated with on the 2021 hit “Lonely,” regarding work ethic.
In particular, during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show, he subtly criticized pop stars who’ve introduced cosmetic lines, such as Gomez, who debuted the hugely successful Rare Beauty brand in 2020.
Blanco stated, ‘Justin isn’t your typical mass-produced pop artist. Instead of promoting his new song and cosmetics line all at once, he openly shares about personal issues such as having a pimple or dealing with anxiety.’
To my perspective, he seems to be maturing significantly as a grown-up. It takes courage to release such a song, he noted.
Although some fans took offense at Blanco’s comments, others utilized them as fuel to harshly critique his looks on social platforms instead.
She informed her followers that their opinions about Blanco as a person were significantly misguided, and she firmly maintained that he had shown her kindness beyond what any individual on Earth had ever done for her.
Despite facing harsh criticisms about his appearance, Blanco was surprisingly selected as one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive, as revealed last month.
Gomez expressed her feelings of pride towards the record producer during a chat with CBS Sunday Morning, sharing her sentiments openly.
While flashing a cheerful smile, Gomez excitedly responded with, ‘Yeah, that’s my man!’
Additionally, she shared her initial response when finding out Benny would appear in the publication, and she said something along the lines of, ‘Well, I must admit, it was quite endearing.’
I feel incredibly pleased and touched to realize that there’s someone out there who takes great interest in every little aspect of my identity.
Gomez went on to say, “I also need someone who can boost my spirits, spur me on, ignite my passion, and push me forward. It gives me great pleasure.
She summed it up by saying, “He’s not only my dearest friend, but I feel incredibly fortunate to have him.
Before she got together with Blanco, Gomez had a string of relationships with well-known heartthrobs; however, her relationship that gained the most attention was with another pop star, Justin Bieber.
In 2009, she initially encountered the person known for producing hits, and later on, Selena Gomez addressed him as her “younger sibling” in various media outlets.
Yet, by the end of 2010, their bond transformed into a romantic relationship that was on and off until they parted ways for the first time in 2014. It is said that they separated due to Selena Gomez discovering a photo of Kylie Jenner on Justin Bieber’s phone.
They briefly reunited but split up again by December 2014.
In 2017, fans were taken aback when Gomez and Bieber decided to rekindle their romance. However, they ultimately ended things permanently in May 2018, with Bieber going on to marry his present spouse, Hailey Bieber, only three months afterwards.
Because Justin Bieber appeared to swiftly move on with Hailey, many of Selena Gomez’s supporters waged a prolonged, one-sided battle against Hailey over the years, frequently posting disparaging or mean-spirited remarks on her social media accounts.
In early 2023, the harassment became severe enough that Gomez felt compelled to release a statement, appealing to her followers for calm and respectful behavior.
In a recent Instagram Story update, Gomez shared that Hailey had contacted her, informing her about the threatening messages and overwhelmingly negative comments she’s been facing.
As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but speak up: This isn’t the path I endorse. Nobody deserves the pain of hate or harassment. From day one, I’ve been all about spreading kindness, and I truly yearn for this vicious cycle to come to an end. That’s my stance, clear as day.
Regarding the tumultuous relationship she had with Bieber, Gomez admitted in her 2022 Apple+ documentary, “My Mind & Me,” that their breakup was a positive turning point for her.
She said she felt the ‘worst break-up ever’ had to happen so that she could learn to ‘choose herself and choose life again.’
Experiencing what seemed like the most devastating heartache imaginable, and then almost instantaneously erasing all memories of it left me bewildered. However, looking back, I believe that experience was essential and in the long run, turned out to be the most beneficial thing that’s ever happened to me.
Between 2014 and 2017, Selena Gomez was romantically associated with several high-profile individuals such as Orlando Bloom (from Lord of the Rings), DJ Zedd, Niall Horan from One Direction, singer/producer Charlie Puth, and The Weeknd. These associations occurred during her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber.
Prior to her relationship with Blanco, there were whispers that Selena had been romantically linked with Drew Taggart from The Chainsmokers and the handsome member of One Direction, Zayn Malik.
She was reportedly with Taggart in 2022 and then with Malik briefly in early 2023.
