Selena Gomez has announced she is engaged to producer Benny Blanco.

Gomez shared a picture of her engagement ring on Instagram Wednesday and captioned the post with just three words, “forever begins now..”

The post features other sweet snaps including one of Gomez beaming as she looks down at the ring while sitting on a picnic blanket, a selfie where she blocks her smiling face with her ring-laden hand, and another of Blanco kissing his fiancée as she holds up the dazzling rock on her ring finger.

Blanco responded to the post, “hey wait… that’s my wife.”

The announcement comes over a year after Blanco and Gomez, who recently scored two Golden Globe nominations for her roles in “Only Murders in the Building” and “Emilia Pérez,” began dating; they were first linked in June 2023.

The two have known each other for several years as Blanco worked with Gomez on the 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough” alongside Tainy and J Balvin.

He also co-produced Gomez’s 2015 song “Same Old Love” and her 2023 number “Single Soon.”

Gomez — in response to relationship rumors in December 2023 — declared on Instagram that Blanco was her “absolute everything” in her heart, “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her, and “still better than anyone” she’s ever been with.

Gomez, in a November cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, revealed why she’s been open about her relationship on social media.

“I guess this is the safest I’ve ever felt in one, and I see a future with this person,” explained Gomez, who added that “there’s so much” of her relationship that people don’t see.

In May, Blanco weighed in on whether he’d propose to Gomez in the future.

“When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” the producer and author of “Open Wide: A Cookbook for Friends” said on “The Howard Stern Show.”
