Selena Gomez’s Dream Engagement Ring: A Marquise-Cut Fantasy
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez, Hollywood’s newest power couple, are making headlines with their engagement and upcoming album, I Said I Love You First. When Selena showed off her marquise-cut diamond ring, she revealed it was something she had dreamed of since her Good for You days. Benny carefully designed the ring based on her subtle hints, ensuring it was exactly what she wanted. While the original design had large baguettes, Selena opted for a simpler look, leading Benny to use the extra diamonds for custom earrings.
Selena Gomez wants to keep the details of Benny Blanco’s proposal private for their future children, but one thing is certain—it was a perfect surprise. Benny recalls the challenge of keeping it a secret while planning the special moment. He even had to sneak around, making excuses for his late nights, just to ensure everything went smoothly.
Their love story started long before their romance. Selena and Benny met when she was still with Disney Records, introduced through her mother. At the time, Benny didn’t see her in a romantic light, and even tried setting her up with his friends. Selena, however, had feelings first. It wasn’t until their second date that Benny realized—she was the one. He immediately told his mom, "This is the girl I'm going to marry."

Benny and Selena’s relationship is built on balance. While Selena is an introvert who enjoys her quiet time, Benny’s outgoing personality gets her out of the house. At the same time, she helps calm him down when needed. Benny describes their love as effortless, saying Selena is his heroin and Xanax combined—someone who brings him both excitement and peace.
