Selena Gomez marked her engagement to Benny Blanco with a cozy celebration surrounded by close friends and family on Wednesday evening. Connar Franklin, a close friend, shared a cheerful Instagram Story alongside the “Only Murders in the Building” actress, where Gomez, 32, proudly displayed her marquise-cut diamond engagement ring.
For the gathering, Gomez kept it casual in navy sweats paired with a black sweater, which she later swapped out to reveal a pink top. The outfit matched the one she wore in her Instagram announcement captioned, “forever begins now.”

The intimate event featured simple touches, including a Taco Bell picnic and a white “Congrats” cake. Gomez’s furry coat added a touch of flair as the relaxed atmosphere uncovers, seemingly the backdrop to the moment Blanco proposed.
Although none of her high-profile friends attended the gathering, many celebrated her engagement online. Taylor Swift playfully volunteered to be a flower girl, while Lily Collins expressed her joy, calling it the “best news.” Nina Dobrev, also recently engaged, enthusiastically congratulated the couple with a heartfelt comment.
Blanco joined in the celebration on Instagram, referring to Gomez affectionately as his “wife.”
The pair first went public with their relationship in December 2023 when Gomez confirmed rumors by responding “facts” to a report about their romance. Addressing online negativity toward her fiancé, she defended Blanco by declaring him “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her.
