Gomez announced her engagement to Blanco earlier this month, a year after confirming their relationship.
The Golden Globe nominee announced the news on Instagram, sharing photos of her enormous diamond engagement ring with her 422 million followers.
“Forever begins now…” she captioned a carousel of four images, including one of her husband-to-be holding her in his arms as he kissed her head.
Prior to Blanco’s proposal, the star was linked to a number of A-listers, the most famous of which was Blanco’s collaborator Justin Bieber, 30.
Gomez also dated The Weeknd, Zedd, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Zayn Malik.
Selena confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023, saying they had been together for six months.
It came after she liked and commented on ‘facts’ under a Popfactions Instagram post saying she had seemingly confirmed she is in ‘a relationship’.
She also revealed that he treats her better than anyone else.
After she went public with the romance, Selena’s fans called out Benny’s previous comments, referring to pop stars touting various brands along with their music as “cookie-cutter” artists.
“As you know, they say, ‘Here’s my new single and here’s my makeup line,’” he told podcast host Zach Sang in 2020.

While some fans took it as a jab, the polyglot didn’t seem to mind.
While a fan slammed her as “corny” for sticking with him despite the shade, Gomez replied, “Lol yeah and he’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with.” Facts.’
She also told another upset fan – who said Blanco has “cursed” the star – that “he’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”
For Wednesday’s celebration, the Lose You to Love Me hitmaker went casual in a plush, silver-gray tracksuit with snowflakes embroidered throughout.
The cozy outfit had a hood and the fashionista wore a knitted gray hat, allowing her dark brown bob hairstyle to stand out from underneath.
Benny, for his part, wore a cream-colored sweater and matching beige pants, adorned with layered gold chains.
