Lil Nas X also shared his excitement, saying, “OMMGGGGG CONGRATSSS AHHH (sic).” Selena’s fans also flooded the comment section with kind words for the couple.
Benny also joined the fun in the comments, writing, “hey wait ... that’s my wife.” It’s clear that the couple is very happy and ready for their next chapter together.
Along with her Instagram post, Selena shared some stories showing off the ring. In one of the stories, she takes a mirror selfie where she holds her ring up close to the camera. In another story, Selena is on a video call with a friend, announcing the big news. The friend is clearly thrilled and reacts with excitement.
This engagement comes after Benny shared his feelings about Selena earlier this year. In May, he was on The Howard Stern Show and talked about how he sees a future with Selena. He said, “When I look at her ... I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.”
Selena and Benny first met in 2019 and became a couple in 2023. They decided to make their relationship public in December of that year, and Selena explained why.
She said that sharing a little bit of their relationship has made her feel "safe" with Benny. She also mentioned that the public attention on their relationship is less because they’ve already shared some details. Selena enjoys a good balance of privacy while still being open with her fans.
Despite being in the spotlight, Selena values her private life and finds comfort in spending time with people who are not in the entertainment industry. She said, "I do, because I hang out with people who aren't really in the business that much."
Now, as the couple plans their future together, fans are excited to see what’s next for Selena and Benny. With the engagement ring on her finger and love in the air, it’s clear that Selena and Benny are ready to begin their journey as a married couple. The wedding bells are ringing for this happy pair, and everyone is looking forward to what’s to come.
