Fri Dec 13 18:03:30 UTC 2024: ## Selena Gomez Engaged to Music Producer Benny Blanco
**Los Angeles, CA** – Singer Selena Gomez has announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, revealing the news on Instagram with photos and videos from the proposal. While the engagement reportedly took place in August, the couple chose to delay the announcement.
Sources suggest the delay was partly due to Gomez’s desire to avoid any association with the birth of Justin Bieber’s first child with Hailey Bieber, which also occurred in August. A source told DailyMail.com that Gomez wanted to prevent speculation that her engagement was a deliberate attempt to overshadow Bieber’s happy news.
Gomez and Blanco, who have collaborated professionally for nearly a decade, sparked romance rumors earlier this year. Blanco previously revealed on a Twitch stream that Gomez had initiated their relationship.
Gomez expressed immense happiness and security in her relationship with Blanco, describing it as the “safest” she’s ever felt. A source close to the couple described Blanco as a “rock” for Gomez. The couple’s engagement announcement was met with excitement from fans, with Gomez captioning her post, “Forever begins now.” The stunning engagement ring has also generated significant buzz.
