Pop star and Only Murders in the Building actress Selena Gomez has gotten engaged to record producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.

Gomez announced the news on Instagram on Wednesday, writing, “Eternity begins now,” and sharing a close-up photo of her diamond ring along with a picnic setup and smiling photos of her and Blanco. “Hey wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco commented on the post.

Numerous fellow singers and actors, including Taylor Swift, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cardi B, Lil Nas X and Julia Michaels, congratulated the couple on their engagement.

Selena Gomez announced her engagement on Instagram on Wednesday evening.

“Yes, I’ll be the flower girl,” Swift captioned the post.

“HONEY!! Happy birthday sweet mama!” Aniston wrote.

Gomez, 32, and Blanco, 36, made their relationship public about a year ago. The pair collaborated on several songs, including Gomez’s 2023 hit “Single Soon” and 2019’s “I Can’t Get Enough.”

“He is my everything in my heart,” Gomez said at the time.

Blanco gushed about Gomez during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in May, saying he wakes up every day and can’t believe he gets to share his life with the pop superstar.

“She is just the best and most sincere person. “Everything is so completely real,” he said. “Like every day when I wake up and I like walk past the mirror the way I imagine it, walk up to it and I think, and I like to look at myself and say, ‘How did I get here?’ ‘“

Gomez, a former Disney child star, recently received Golden Globe nominations for her performances in the Hulu drama series “Only Murders in the Building” and the Netflix thriller musical “Emilia Pérez.”

“I am so grateful and honored,” Gomez wrote in a video posted to her Instagram Story.

Blanco has co-authored chart-toppers for industry giants such as Rihanna, Katy Perry, Maroon 5 and Britney Spears.

Gomez – the owner of the five-year-old cosmetics brand Rare Beauty – became one of the youngest self-made billionaires in the United States in September, according to Bloomberg. Her net worth has been estimated at $1.3 billion.
