Engagement Rumors: Are Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Tying the Knot?

That steak-in-bed moment might have actually solidified something special between Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez—or at least, that’s what her fans are speculating. On Thursday, Gomez, known for her love of fried pickles, shared a bathroom selfie with Blanco subtly in the background.

The caption read “a night out” in a nostalgic cursive Instagram font, but it wasn’t the mirror selfie that caught everyone’s attention—it was the strategically placed double-heart emoji covering her ring finger. To add to the mystery, Gomez followed up a few hours later with a photo dump: no caption, just a carousel of images showing the couple cuddling, hugging, and even some playful moments of grabbing each other.

The mystery of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco’s relationship deepens with social media clues and Blanco’s comments

Though nothing is confirmed—maybe it’s just an innocent emoji choice—Blanco’s recent comments on The Howard Stern Show might suggest otherwise. Back in May, Blanco, who’s also a cookbook author, openly shared his desire for kids, saying, “I wanna have kids, that’s my next goal.”

When Stern prodded about whether he was considering proposing to his “very famous girlfriend,” Blanco laughed and responded, “When I look at her, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.” Stern then predicted marriage for the pair, to which Blanco replied, “You and me both … I gotta get my act together.”

It’s certainly not impossible, especially considering how openly Gomez has been expressing her affection for Blanco on social media. Maybe, just maybe, true love is in the air. Wouldn’t that be something?
