Selena Gomez might have used her recent red carpet event to gently address
rumours about her being engaged to boyfriend Benny Blanco. At the premiere of
Season 4 of "Only Murders in the Building" in Angeles, California, on
Thursday August 22, Gomez, age 32, posed for pictures on the red carpet alone.
She wore a sparkling black mini-dress and accessorised with pieces of jewellery,
but there was no engagement ring on her finger.
The speculation regarding Gomez and Blanco’s relationship began earlier this month. This happened after she shared a mirror selfie featuring them, with a heart emoji strategically placed over her left ring finger. However, neither Gomez nor Blanco, who is 36, commented on these assumptions at that time. Despite this silence, Blanco had spoken before about his views on marrying Gomez.
In May, during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Stern mentioned that
he was “predicting marriage” for the couple. Blanco quickly responded with
enthusiasm: “You and me both.”
In December 2023, Gomez and Blanco confirmed they had been dating for “six
months.” In an Instagram comment at that time, she expressed her feelings: “He
is my absolute everything in my heart. He [has] been the best thing that’s ever
happened to me. The end… He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”
Initially friends who worked together on Gomez’s music, they transitioned into
a romantic relationship. Since they made their relationship public, Gomez has
attended several events alongside Blanco—including this year's Golden Globes.
A source told Us Weekly in February that “She’s proudly introducing him to
everyone in her life.” Their relationship started out low-key but has become
more open now. Talks about love live loud! “The new year seemed like a perfect
time to essentially shout [their love] from the rooftops,” the source added.
Another insider highlighted that Gomez’s friends support their relationship:
“She loves how Benny treats her; he’s so kind and thoughtful. She’s never been
with anyone like him. It’s been ages since friends saw Selena this happy. She’s
positively glowing.”
Previously, Gomez had made headlines for her tumultuous connection with
Justin Bieber before dating DJ Zedd and The Weeknd. After taking time off from
the spotlight, Gomez opened up about her changed views on dating.
On SiriusXM Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon in August 2023, she said: “I
think I have standards… Boys confuse standards with high maintenance.” She
detailed what she looks for in a partner: “You just gotta be nice. Please make
me laugh! Be good to my family & those around you.”
Gomez continued: “I just want to be happy as I am so that when someone
enters my life, they can add to me instead of me being insecure… It’s totally
OK being on your own & it can be fun.
