Last month, Gomez, who was recently declared a billionaire, appeared wearing a gold band on her ring finger.
The Rare Beauty founder first sparked speculation that she was engaged to boyfriend Benny Blanco when she shared a selfie last month, hiding her ring finger.
In May, Gomez announced that she planned to adopt a child of her own if she still hadn’t found the right partner by the age of 35.
“I was single for five years and I just got used to it,” Selena said at the Time 100 Most Influential Companies event.
‘A lot of people are afraid of being alone. I probably tortured myself in my head for two years about being alone, but then I accepted it.
“Then I came up with my plan: I would adopt when I was 35, if I hadn’t met anyone by then,” she said.
Last year she met Blanco, who she described last month as the love of her life.
When Blanco appeared on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show earlier this year, he called Gomez “the coolest, the nicest, [and] the dearest.’

“She’s honestly like my best friend… we laugh all f***ing day,” she revealed.
When asked if he wanted children, Benny said, “That’s my next goal [to check] on the box. I have a lot of godchildren, I have a lot of nephews. I love being around kids.’
Howard then asked Benny when he was going to propose to the Wizards of Waverly Place star.
“When I look at her, I always think, ‘I don’t know any world where it could be better than this,’” he enthused.
Later, Howard said he predicted they would get married in the future, to which Benny replied, “Both you and me.”

A source recently said AND: ‘They are excited about the idea of growing together and getting closer to each other.’
They also added that “Benny thinks Selena is so amazing” and that she “loves that Benny has people’s best interests at heart and is protective of her.”
