Selena Gomez is the ‘it’ girl, but Benny Blanco is ‘that man’ for the sake of this piece of news. When people say, ‘You can do no wrong with the right stone,’ Blanco took that statement personally, ate and left no crumbs. The record producer and songwriter went all out to ask Selena to marry him. Whoever says no to such a beautiful ring? Not Selena! The lovely couple announced their engagement to the world last night, that left fans breathless. The news sent shock waves throughout social media.
In the thick of the night, Blanco and Selena stunned fans worldwide with their engagement news. Luckily, that was not the only breathtaking news of the night as fans were more concerned about something else. The choice of ring was a hit! The carefully crafted ‘Marquise Diamond’ sat beautifully on the singer’s finger. And fans could not get enough of it. Did Selena make the ring pop, or did the exceptional diamond make her finger look stunning? Yes, to both questions. Fans are elated that Blanco made this elegant choice for the love of his life.
Despite the viral engagement news, some perceptive fans decided to take stock of the stunning beauty resting on Selena’s finger and analyse it. The observant lots quickly clocked that Blanco went for a more dashing diamond shape called the ‘marquis.’ He could have gone for the oval or pear-shaped rings, but the 36-year-old knew what he wanted. Favs Pop Culture shared a video of the “Back to You” singer drooling over her ring, and fans had much to say in the comment section.
“I love that she sang about a marquise diamond ring, and that’s what she ended up getting engaged with,” one fan said.
Another fan excitedly wrote, “I’m on my marquis diamond. I’m a marquis diamond.”

Fans Speculate on Who Selena Gomez Called First After Saying Yes!
Boys can come and go, but friends are for life. Fans are wondering who Selena called first after her proposal, and there is a short list. After Selena announced her engagement on Instagram, “Cruel Summer” singer Taylor Swift commented. “Yes, I’ll be the flower girl.” Furthermore, a video on TikTok revealed the incoming bride showing someone her ring on FaceTime. Some fans speculated from the receiver’s voice that it could be Taylor.
“Why is no one commenting on the phone voice being Taylor?” One fan wrote. Another fan commented, “I know that voice anywhere.”
Over the years, Taylor and Selena have given fans best friend goals. The decade-and-a-half-long friendship started in 2008 when they first met on a double date. The singers were dating two of the Jonas brothers, Nick and Joe, at the time. Although the respective relationships failed woefully, the girls stuck together. Now, they get to see Selena walk down the aisle.
