Explaining the Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Engagement Rumors

Selena Gomez has stirred up excitement this month amid speculation that she might be engaged to her boyfriend, Benny Blanco. This buzz started with a selfie Gomez posted in which she strategically placed an emoji over her left hand, prompting fans to wonder if she was hiding a new ring.

The rumors have continued to swirl, but neither Gomez nor Blanco have addressed them directly. Almost two weeks have passed since the selfie went live, and followers are still eagerly awaiting any confirmation or denial.

Adding fuel to the fire, Gomez posted another intriguing photo on her Instagram Story on Thursday, Aug. 8, along with the caption “A night out.” In the picture, the actress and singer dazzled in an elegant slip dress and high heels. Blanco, casually dressed in floral pants and a tank top, appeared in the background, seemingly not ready for the outing. Interestingly, Gomez added a double heart emoji that conveniently covered her left ring finger, further sparking engagement rumors, especially since it appeared they were on a vacation.

Gomez’s romantic life has been under public scrutiny ever since she was a child, thanks to her high-profile relationships with Nick Jonas, Justin Bieber, and her 2017 breakup with The Weeknd. Over time, she has become more guarded about her personal affairs. It’s unclear when exactly she and Blanco began dating, but Blanco mentioned in an interview that their relationship began in July of 2023. They went “Instagram official” in December of 2023.

Since then, the couple has not been shy about expressing their affection for each other publicly, leaving many to believe that wedding bells could be in their future. Benny Blanco hinted at this himself during a conversation with Howard Stern in May. When Stern predicted marriage, Blanco responded, “You and me both.” He even suggested that starting a family with Gomez might be a higher priority than marriage.

However, Gomez seemed to moderate these anticipations somewhat. In a subsequent interview with Time, she commented, “I just cherish every moment with him. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that he’s not going anywhere any time soon.”

At 32, Gomez has become a household name recognized worldwide, while the 36-year-old Blanco, a producer, songwriter, and record executive, usually works behind the scenes. Although the couple has neither confirmed nor denied recent travel speculations, their silence leaves fans eagerly waiting for an update.

For now, Gomez and Blanco are allowing their relationship to unfold in the public eye, with many fans hoping that an official announcement regarding their future together will come soon.
