The Shock Engagement: A December 2024 Surprise
The relationship between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco, a renowned music producer who has worked with artists like Ed Sheeran and Halsey, began quietly in 2023. It was a romance that surprised many fans, given Blanco's more low-key profile compared to some of her past high-profile relationships.
The speculation reached a fever pitch in December 2024 when Selena took to Instagram to share a series of intimate photos. The centerpiece of the photo dump was a dazzling new piece of jewelry on her left hand.
The official announcement was simple yet powerful. Selena captioned the posts with the phrase, "forever starts now," confirming the engagement to her millions of followers.
The proposal itself was reportedly a very personal and understated affair. Sources close to the couple revealed that Benny Blanco popped the question on December 11, 2024, in a park, which was followed by a casual but heartfelt Taco Bell picnic—a detail that resonated with fans who appreciate Selena's down-to-earth persona.
The Marquise Diamond Ring: Details of the Dazzler
The engagement ring worn by Selena quickly became one of the most talked-about celebrity rings of 2025. Eschewing the traditional round or princess cuts, Benny Blanco chose a stunning marquise-cut diamond.
The marquise diamond is known for its elongated, boat-like shape, which maximizes carat weight and creates a flattering, slenderizing effect on the finger. This choice immediately set a new trend in the engagement ring market, showcasing Selena's unique and sophisticated style.
The newly engaged couple made their first major public appearance at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards in January 2025, where the ring was prominently displayed, solidifying their status as Hollywood's newest power couple.
The September 2025 Wedding: Selena Gomez is Married
While the engagement was public, the wedding was a masterclass in celebrity privacy. After months of planning and anticipation, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco officially tied the knot in a private California ceremony on September 27, 2025.
The intimate event was held in Santa Barbara, California, and was described as being as heartfelt as it was glamorous, reflecting the couple’s blend of sincerity and high-profile status.
The wedding, which took place on a Saturday, was only revealed to the public the following day when the actress and Rare Beauty founder posted photos to Instagram, confirming that she and the music producer were officially husband and wife.
The guest list was appropriately star-studded, featuring many of Selena's close friends and co-stars from her various projects, though details remain highly guarded to respect the couple's wish for privacy. The catering was reportedly a highlight, with the couple ensuring a personalized and memorable dining experience for their loved ones.
