Selena Gomez is celebrating a remarkable week as she not only garnered two prestigious Golden Globe nominations but also announced her engagement to her boyfriend, Benny Blanco. Known for her diverse talents as an actress, businesswoman, and singer, Gomez shared the exciting news with her fans through her Instagram account. In her post, she revealed several stunning photos showcasing her beautiful engagement ring, accompanied by the heartfelt caption, “Forever begins now.” Benny Blanco, a well-known music producer, playfully commented on the post, declaring, “hey wait… that’s my wife,” adding a personal touch to the announcement.
Gomez, 32, and Blanco made their relationship public in December 2023 and have since been spotted together at various high-profile events, including red-carpet premieres and NBA games, as well as frequently appearing on each other’s social media platforms. Their relationship appears to be full of affection and support, drawing warm responses from their celebrity friends, including Taylor Swift, who took a moment to leave a congratulatory comment on Gomez’s post.
Benny Blanco has made a name for himself in the music industry, producing chart-topping hits for some of the biggest artists in the world, including Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Britney Spears, and SZA, showcasing his extensive talent behind the scenes.
On the same day as her engagement announcement, Gomez received the exciting news of being nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, recognizing her outstanding performances in the critically acclaimed film “Emilia Pérez” and the hit series “Only Murders in the Building.” This recognition marks a significant milestone in her career, highlighting her versatility and commitment to her craft.
In a candid interview with Vanity Fair back in September, Gomez bravely opened up about her struggles with health issues. She disclosed that due to the complications arising from her medical conditions, she is unable to carry her own children. This revelation comes after a long battle with lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease she was diagnosed with in 2013. She underwent chemotherapy as part of her treatment regimen and faced significant challenges, including a kidney transplant in 2017, further emphasizing her resilience and strength in overcoming adversity.
