Benny Blanco's Proposal To Selena Gomez Includes Sweet Nod To Her Song

As a seasoned observer of the world of celebrities, I must say that watching the love stories unfold among them is always a delightful spectacle. The whirlwind romance between Selena Gomez and her beau seems to be one such captivating tale.

Selena Gomez got a ring that was more than good for her.

In essence, Benny Blanco appeared to be referencing Selena Gomez’s popular song “Good for You” during their proposal, as she shared the news of their engagement on her social media accounts on December 11.

Instead, the music producer chose an eye-catching piece of jewelry with a marquise-cut diamond embedded on a band studded with gold.

And dedicated fans of Selena’s music will instantly link the cut to her 2015 hit.

In the song, Selena is joined by A$AP Rocky. She compares herself to a marquise diamond, saying she’s so beautiful that even Tiffany (a brand known for high-end jewelry) would be envious. She also suggests that she provides something incredibly intense, so much so that he wouldn’t want to leave her side. Selena assures him she won’t let him go either.

Selena is surrounded by noble company when it comes to wearing the rock. The lemon-shaped diamond cut was specifically created for royalty. Its history can be traced back to the 18th century, where King Louis XV of France asked his jeweler to design a diamond that mirrored the smile of his mistress, Madame de Pompadour, as reported by Vogue.

Concerning the proposal itself, Selena, adorned in a fur-lined jacket, denim pants, and sneakers, posted a photo on Instagram showing her smiling at the ring during a romantic picnic with Taco Bell takeout as part of the couple’s special moment.

She captioned the sweet announcement, “Forever begins now…”

In a heartwarming gesture, the 32-year-old was showered with affectionate remarks from her friends, notably her longtime friend Taylor Swift stepping forward to help plan the wedding. Taylor even penned down, “Indeed, I will serve as the flower girl.

Simultaneously, Suki Waterhouse enthusiastically commented, “Congratulations, you’re gorgeous!” While Benny playfully responded, “Hold on… that’s my spouse.

In the summer of 2023, Selena began a relationship with Benny and made it official later in the same year. Since then, their love story has been as beautiful and enduring as any popular love song from its inception.

In November, she shared with The Hollywood Reporter that she’s never felt safer than now, adding, “There’s a future with this individual in my life. When you expose a piece of yourself, others become less eager to pursue you relentlessly.

For the 36-year-old, it’s reciprocated – he had earlier expressed that future phases of his life would include weddings and children.

In an interview with Howard Stern in May, he said, “Whenever I gaze upon her, I can’t help but think, ‘There isn’t a better world possible for me than this.’

And Benny hinted that kids may not be so far out of the couple’s future, either.

1) He noted, “The upcoming task on my list is to achieve that objective.” He continued, “I have numerous grand-nephews and grand-nieces. I truly enjoy spending time with children.” (This version aims to make the original sentence more formal while maintaining its meaning, and uses ‘grand-‘ to represent the relationship between nephews/nieces and themselves.)
