American singer and actress Selena Gomez hinted at her engagement to new boyfriend and record producer Benny Blanco in a new post shared on her Instagram account. On August 8, 2024, Gomez shared a photo of herself in a satin mid-length dress in front of a mirror, while her boyfriend stood behind her barefoot wearing flower-printed pants and a white shirt. What most stirred the controversy in the photo was Gomez's attempt to hide her ring finger with a heart-shaped emoji, where people usually wear engagement and wedding rings. The caption read, "Night out of the house." This post follows an earlier post by an account named Deuxmoi that claimed Gomez got engaged to her boyfriend during a weekend getaway with friends in their usual beach house in Malibu. The couple has been in a relationship for a year, and Gomez often films her show Selena + Chef in their holiday home with Blanco.
