The Announcement

On December 11, Selena Gomez took to Instagram to share the news with a carousel post that captured hearts instantly. “Forever begins now,” she captioned, sharing an image of her stunning engagement ring—a marquise-shaped diamond set on a pavé band—accompanied by her signature chic style.

Blanco humorously replied in the comments: “Hey wait…that’s my wife.” Their playful exchange only added to the charm and excitement surrounding this momentous occasion.

A Love Story Rooted in Collaboration

Gomez and Blanco have been sharing their journey publicly since December 2022. However, their professional relationship dates back several years:

• Blanco produced hits like “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em with Kindness” for Gomez in 2015.
• Their collaboration continued with songs such as “Trust Nobody” in 2016 and the 2019 single “I Can’t Get Enough” featuring J Balvin and Tainy.
• In 2023, Blanco produced her track “Single Soon.”

During a recent appearance on The Stephen Colbert Show, Gomez playfully dodged questions about their engagement plans. When asked about Blanco’s “intentions,” she quipped: “I’m not sure, but I’m having a great time.” This humor and spontaneity are hallmark traits of their relationship.

Accolades & Personal Life

Selena Gomez continues to shine in her career. Recently announced as a double Golden Globes nominee for roles in “Emilia Pérez” and the series “Only Murders in the Building,” she’s also won the Spotlight award at the Indiewire Honors.

Together Through It All

The couple has been inseparable, whether cooking Thanksgiving dinner for 50 people or attending events together. Gomez previously shared with Vanity Fair: “We always make sure we’re protecting what we have, but there’s no rules.” She values authenticity and self-expression in their relationship.

Blanco’s Perspective

In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco expressed his admiration for Gomez, saying: “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.” His words highlight the deep connection and mutual respect they share.

Endorsement from Friends

Fans aren’t the only ones celebrating. Celebrities such as Taylor Swift (promising to be the flower girl), Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cardi B, and Lil Nas X have expressed their congratulations on social media.

Gomez’s Stand on Traditions

While traditions are often celebrated in weddings, Gomez has made it clear she won’t be changing her name. “I’m not changing my name no matter what. I am Selena Gomez. That’s it,” she confidently declared.
