Is Selena Gomez finally engaged?
Fans have given a lot of scrutiny to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship. Largely because he is such an unknown compared to her more famous (and infamous) exes.
Well, Selenators may be about to double down on their possibly unwarranted concerns.
According to a somewhat dubious new report, Selena and Benny are now engaged.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are (possibly) engaged
As of Monday, August 5, Selena Gomez has not made any sort of engagement announcement. Neither has Benny Blanco.
You can find plenty of sweet moments on Selena’s Instagram. But a cuddle session is not typically a proposal.
However, a blind item that Deux Moi shared seems to strongly suggest that Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are now engaged.
“This A-list actress/semi-retired singer got engaged over the weekend to her bf of a year recently surrounded by friends at their usual beach house hang out,” the blind item reads.
Selena is an A-list actress. She is up for an Emmy Award for her starring role on Only Murders In The Building.
She is also, sadly, semi-retired from singing. Selena is one of the greatest musicians in human history (“Naturally” alone is a triumph of art). But between underappreciation in the industry and her health battle with lupus, she has not been able to focus on music.
Are Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco really engaged?
Blind items can be glaringly accurate. As we have previously reported in detail, some blind items warn about very serious matters — like Louis CK’s sexual misconduct — years before they become public knowledge.
However, some blind items are too vague to specify someone in particular. And sometimes, even if the source truly believes it, the news never received confirmation.
Deux Moi is somewhat controversial (that may be an understatement), but that doesn’t have to mean that they’re wrong.
Either way, if Selena and Benny really are engaged, then they’re keeping this to themselves. For now.
There could be some very good reasons for that.
Two of Selena’s previous relationships have seen her besieged by busybodies. Unfortunately, this has even included her own fans.
Hopefully, fans will support her regardless
Selena may be keeping an (alleged) engagement under wraps because fans are weird about her dating life. She’s seemed to come into conflict with fans over Benny Blanco, specifically.
Selenators may be hesitant to endorse this romance because they don’t really “know” Benny Blanco. (Okay, one never really “knows” celebrities unless you’re friends in real life — but they don’t feel like they know him)
It’s possible that Selena is sort of sabotaging herself by keeping most of this romance so private. But also? She doesn’t actually need to worry about fan assumptions. She’s allowed to live her life.
