Selena Gomez may have used her latest red carpet appearance as a subtle way to address speculation that she is engaged to a boyfriend Benny Blanco.
At the Only murders in the building season 4 premiere in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday, August 22, Gomez, 32, posed for photos on the red carpet solo. She wore a glittering black mini dress that she paired with several jewelry, but an engagement ring was not one of them.
The rumors about Gomez and Blanco’s relationship status started earlier this month when she posted a mirror selfie of them with a heart emoji strategically placed over her left ring finger. Neither Gomez nor Blanco, 36, addressed the speculation at the time. However, Blanco has previously opened up about how he sees himself marrying Gomez.
During a performance op The Howard Stern Show in May, the host said he “predicted marriage” for the couple, to which Blanco replied, “You and me both.”
Gomez and Blanco confirmed in December 2023 that they had been dating for “six months.”
“He is absolutely my everything in my heart,” she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He [has] the best thing that ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”
The pair were initially friends and collaborated on Gomez’s music before they started dating. Since confirming their relationship, Gomez has attended several events with Blanco, including the Golden Globes earlier this year.
“She proudly introduces him to everyone in her life,” a source exclusively shared We weekly in February. “They kept it quiet [at first]but Benny passed every test with flying colors. The new year seemed like a perfect time to essentially scream [their love] from the rooftops, so that’s what Selena does.”
A second insider noted that Gomez’s inner circle has given their approval, adding, “She loves how Benny treats her: he’s so kind and thoughtful.” She’s never been with anyone like him. It’s been a very long time since friends saw Selena this happy. She shines positively.”
Selena Gomez’s high-profile relationships have made headlines over the years, from her one-time romance with Justin Bieber to her brief relationship with The Weeknd. “I’m the kind of girl who really likes big. I’ve just always been that girl,” Gomez told Miami’s Power 96.5 FM in May 2017. “I will give my heart and […]
Gomez has made headlines in the past for her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bieber before it was linked to DJ Zedd And The Weeknd. After taking a break from the spotlight, Gomez discussed how her perspective on dating has changed.
“I think I have standards, and I think I live in a world right now where guys confuse standards with high maintenance,” she said in August 2023 on SiriusXM Hits 1 LA with Tony Fly and Symon before sharing what she needed in a potential partner. ‘Not cool in the sense that people think you’re cool. You just have to be nice and please make me laugh, and also just be good to my family and the people around you.
She continued: “I just want to be happy with who I am so that when that person comes into my life, I can just add them to me instead of being this insecure person that I normally was. It’s basically my way of saying that it’s okay to be alone and that it’s fun.
