Benny Blanco has shared a glimpse of the moment he proposed to Selena Gomez.
Taking to Instagram, he posted a brief clip showing the couple clinking champagne glasses, Gomez’s marquise diamond ring glimmering prominently on her hand after she presumably said yes. The acclaimed music producer naturally took advantage of the moment and added a snippet from Gomez’s song ‘Good For You’ where she sings about wearing marquise diamonds.
With a captionless post, he allowed fans to fill in the gaps, including speculating over where exactly the sweet moment took place.
As E! noted, the clip unveils fresh details about the much-speculated moment the 36-year-old got down on one knee.
While Gomez’s original engagement announcement depicted her perched on a picnic rug in a park, clad in a fluffy coat, jeans, and sneakers, surrounded by Taco Bell, Blanco’s video hints at a different backdrop. As E! notes, studio lights and recording equipment make a cameo behind the smiling couple, suggesting the proposal was a carefully thought-out set-up. Despite these glimpses, the couple has kept the full story of their engagement under wraps.
When Gomez, 32, first broke the joyous news on social media, photos showed the couple celebrating their news, as well as close-ups of the singer’s gorgeous ring.
“Hey, wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco commented.
The couple, who have been together for over a year and a half, has been open with fans about their playful connection.
In May, Blanco spoke candidly to Howard Stern about Gomez, describing her as his “best friend.”
“We laugh all day,” he gushed. “She inspires me.” When pressed on whether he planned to propose anytime soon, he agreed it was definitely on the cards but admitted that he wasn’t prepared then.
“I don’t have anything. I’ve got no shoes on,” he joked. “I’ve got to get my act together.”
Fans’ suspicions were already brewing in August when the Only Murders in the Building star followed CMG Events, a prominent California-based wedding planning agency. Adding fuel to the fire, Gomez’s Instagram Stories featured a mirror selfie with a strategically placed heart emoji concealing her ring finger. Predictably, the internet erupted with theories that the two were set to head down the aisle.
Though the precise timing of the proposal remains a mystery, we can all but guess who might be planning the wedding…
