Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have announced their engagement, an exciting milestone in their enduring relationship. Their love story began with a chance meeting over a decade ago, followed by years of collaboration and friendship before blossoming into romance.
Benny Blanco recalled meeting Selena Gomez 16 or 17 years ago when she was transitioning from her Disney career to her own music path. Although neither remembered the meeting, Selena’s mom did. They eventually reconnected, but Benny never anticipated their relationship would become romantic.
Their first date caught Benny by surprise. Selena asked him out casually, not realizing it was a date until Selena mentioned her outfit choice. Two days later, Benny realized Selena liked him, leading to their first kiss and a deep, committed relationship.
Initially, they kept their romance private. Once public, they shared glimpses of their relationship through social media. From Valentine’s Day celebrations where Benny rented a movie theater to sweet birthday tributes, their bond grew visibly stronger.
Selena expressed feeling secure and loved with Benny, stating that it’s the safest she’s felt. Benny reciprocates, stating he envisions a future together, hinting at their desire to start a family.
Their engagement was a creative proposal featuring a Taco Bell picnic, champagne, and a marquise-cut diamond ring. Selena shared the joy on Instagram, writing “Forever begins now,” while Benny humorously commented, “hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The journey of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco from friends to life partners is a testament to the unpredictable yet beautiful nature of love. Their story continues to inspire many as they embark on a new chapter together.
