Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially engaged, and fans worldwide are buzzing with excitement over the news and her stunning ring.

The 32-year-old singer shared the announcement on Wednesday, December 11, through an Instagram carousel, which included an array of heartwarming photos that captured the joy of this special moment.

Gomez shared the post with the caption, “forever begins now [sic]…” Among the pictures was a striking close-up of her engagement ring — a marquise-cut diamond elegantly set on a band adorned with smaller stones.

Another image showed Gomez seated on a picnic blanket, admiring her ring against a picturesque backdrop of greenery.

The photos also included a playful selfie of the bride-to-be, covering part of her face with her left hand and showing off her new sparkler, radiating pure joy.

The final picture showed the newly engaged couple in a tender embrace on the floor of a closet, with Blanco holding Gomez close while she showed off her ring.

Adding to the celebratory mood, Blanco commented under the Instagram post, “[Hey] wait… that’s my wife,” sparking even more affection from their fans. Gomez also shared moments from her Instagram stories, including a video of herself on FaceTime, raising her left hand to showcase her engagement band.

She exclaimed, “Yes to this!” Another story revealed a mirror selfie where the singer proudly flaunted her new accessory.

The engagement was met with applause and sweet messages from Gomez’s friends and well-wishers. Longtime friend Taylor Swift excitedly commented, ” yes I will be the flower girl [sic].” Jennifer Aniston chimed in with, “HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!” while Cardi B humorously exclaimed, “Waiiiitttt hold on [sic],” echoing the surprise and excitement shared by many fans.

As Gomez and Blanco celebrate their engagement, the internet has been flooded with fan reactions across various social media platforms.

Opinions about the marquise diamond ring, the proposal details, and the couple’s joyous announcement have sparked widespread conversations.

On X, some users compared Gomez’s ring to the one worn by Hailey Bieber, who is married to Gomez’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, and expressed varied opinions about the design.

One user wrote, “It doesn’t help that he got her a cheaper version of Hailey’s ring iam not even exaggerating it’s the same one SELENA deserves better [sic].” Another added, “It looks NOTHING like Hailey’s ring Ugly AND cheap [sic].” A third commented, “Look at that cheap ring. look at hailey’s rock she won idc [sic].”

One user, however, shared a personal connection, stating, “not Selena Gomez getting my dream ring [sic].” Another reacted humorously to the proposal setting, “Ain’t no way Selena Gomez got proposed to with Taco Bell and she said yes, someone save her [sic].”
