The singer didn’t want to be accused of drawing media attention to herself. Selena Gomez decided to reveal the news about the engagement months later.
The 32-year-old singer is experiencing a joyful period in her life. Recently, Selena shared that producer Benny Blanco had proposed to her. He gifted her a stunning ring with a large diamond.
It was revealed today that the couple got engaged several months ago but kept it private. This was because, on August 22, Selena’s ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, and his wife Hailey welcomed their son, who was named Jack Blues. “Selena and Benny got engaged in August, but Gomez didn’t want her engagement to be in any way associated with Bieber,” explained a source.
Despite this, there is no animosity between Gomez and the Biebers. In fact, when Selena shared the engagement news, Hailey showed her support by liking the post.
Selena and Justin had a tumultuous relationship. They often fought and broke up, and during their conflicts, neither hesitated to date other people. In 2015, Selena started dating Zedd, while Justin began seeing Hailey Baldwin. Later, the singer reunited with his ex, but the couple split for good soon after.
Ultimately, Bieber returned to Baldwin and proposed. Selena struggled with her breakup from Justin but found peace in her personal life in 2023 when she began dating Benny.
