Selena shared a close-up of her stunning oval-cut diamond ring and some snippets from the cozy picnic, probably where Benny proposed. One photo captured a heartwarming moment of Benny cuddling with Selena, who proudly flaunted her ring.
According to People, Gomez and Blanco made public their engagement in December 2023, having first been secretly dating for about six months. The two continued to display tender moments for followers on social media as well as made appearances on public outings, attending the Golden Globes and Primetime Emmys and watching basketball between New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers in April.
In a previous interview, the singer was hinted at having a potential future for marriage and even considered Selena as her best friend. “When I look at her. I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” said Benny, speaking on how much those two are bonded through.
Meanwhile, Selena’s latest film, Emilia Pérez, has earned Selena all sorts of critical acclaim, with the most nominations in this year’s Golden Globes. Just debuting at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the genre-bending Spanish-language musical thriller stars none other than Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, and Adriana Paz.
In the movie, she portrays Jessi, who happens to be the ex-wife of a big-time lawyer embroiled with a Mexican cartel leader. The plot unfolds concerning issues of identity and transformation. She is coerced by this cartel leader to help him fake death and undergo gender-affirming procedures.
As Selena marks her engagement and career success, her fans continue looking forward to her next steps and actions in both personal and professional terms.
