One of Instagram’s most-followed personalities, Selena Gomez, shared engagement news with her 423 million followers Thursday, posting video footage of emotional announcement calls to loved ones.
“Yes to this,” Gomez is heard saying in the video, met with excited screams from those on the other end of the calls. The engagement follows her collaboration with record producer Benny Blanco on songs including “I Can’t Get Enough” (2019) and “Single Soon” (2023).
Blanco previously expressed his feelings during a May appearance on the Drew Barrymore Show. “She’s just like the best, most genuine person,” he said. “Everything is completely real. Everyday when I wake up, I, like, walk by the mirror as I’m, like, walking to her and I ask myself, ‘How did I get here.'”
Selena Gomez, a Texas-born entertainer, who began her career as a child actress on Barney and Disney Channel, recently joined Bloomberg’s billionaire list with a $1.3 billion fortune, largely from her Rare Beauty makeup company. She received two Golden Globe nominations Monday – for supporting actress in “Emilia Pérez” and best actress in a TV series for “Only Murders in the Building.”
