    Benny Blanco "still can't believe" he's engaged to Selena Gomez

    The 'Only Murders In The Building' star announced the couple's happy news in a post on Instagram earlier this month, though it was later claimed that they actually got engaged in August


    The 'Calm Down' hitmaker, 32, shared pictures of her ring and the loved-up pair enjoying a picnic after the proposal and captioned the post: "Forever begins now."

    Benny commented at the time: "Hey wait ... that's my wife."

    Still on cloud nine, the 36-year-old record producer re-posted Selena's post on his Instagram Story on Thursday (18.24.24) and wrote: "Still can't believe it."

    The pair allegedly kept the news under wraps because they didn't want their announcement to clash with Selena's ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber going public with news he'd become a first-time dad.

    A source told DailyMail.com: "They became engaged in August and Selena didn't want her engagement to be tied to Bieber in any way. They knew it would.

    "Selena knew that there would be stories accusing her of getting engaged to turn attention away from Justin's baby, or that people would claim that she did this to one up him."

    Justin - who dated Selena for eight years before splitting in 2018 - welcomed a son named Jack Blues with his wife Hailey in August.

    Selena and Benny - who first met in 2019 and started dating four years later - confirmed their romance in December 2023, and the 'Emilia Perez' star explained that she is happy to share some parts of their relationship with the world because he makes her feel "safe".

    She told The Hollywood Reporter: "I guess this is the safest I've ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person.

    "When you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down. Like, if they hear something, they're going to, but if you're like, 'I did it', they're like, 'Oh, well there's you, just going to Sushi Park.'

    "But there's so much of my relationship people don't see - that's just mine."

    The pair have been inundated with messages of congratulations and Selena's pal Taylor Swift joked she is planning to be in the wedding party, commenting: "Yes I will be the flower girl."
