Selena Gomez is having a good year, and it’s ending with an engagement to music producer and songwriter Benny Blanco.
The Grammy and Emmy Award-nominated performer announced Wednesday that she was no longer on the market in an Instagram post of her ring and an embrace with her fiancé, with the caption “Forever starts now.”
Celebrity fans sent their congratulations, with rapper Lil Nas Well wishes were also sent by Gwyneth Paltrow, Lily Collins and Padma Lakshmi.
Gomez became a double Golden Globe nominee on Monday for her roles in “Emilia Pérez” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
In 2020, Gomez launched the Rare Impact Fund and her Rare Beauty cosmetics line, pledging to donate 1% of all sales to the fund to help expand mental health services and education for young people.
Blanco and Gomez worked together on the 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough,” which also featured J Balvin and Tainy. In 2018, Blanco released her first song – “Eastside” – with Khalid and Halsey, and the trio performed it at the 2018 American Music Awards.
Among the songs on which he is credited as a writer and producer are “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry, “Tik Tok” by Kesha, “Circus” by Britney Spears and “Moves Like Jagger” by Maroon 5.
