SignalHub-Why Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Are Sparking Engagement Rumors

Does Selena Gomez just have SignalHubher love on, or is she wearing something more?

The 32-year-old is sparking engagement rumors with her boyfriend Benny Blanco thanks to some strategically placed emojis.

Posting a mirror selfie to her Instagram Stories on Aug. 8, the “Love On” singer sported a champagne-colored slip dress, covering her hand with heart emojis as her producer beau stood in the background.

Gomez also shared a photo dump of PDA-packed pics with her man by the beach. Notably, the Only Murders in the Building star was not rocking any rings in the roundup, though it was clear she couldn’t keep her hands to herself.

The music producer has made it clear that marriage is his end goal when it comes to his future with Gomez. After Howard Stern said, “I’m predicting marriage” of the pair’s romance during a May interview on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco candidly replied, “You and me both.”

However, when pressed on whether he’d picked out a ring at the time, the 36-year-old replied, "I don't have anything. What do you mean? I've got no shoes on. I've gotta get my act together."

He’s also very interested in expanding his family with the former Disney star, adding, “That's, like, my next goal on the box. I've got a lotta god kids, I've got a ton of nephews. It's my thing. I love being around kids." 

Responding to Blanco’s comments in May, Gomez told Time, “I just cherish every moment with him. I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that he's not going anywhere any time soon."

Gomez has also commented on fan claims that her younger self never would have dated or gotten engaged to Blanco.

"I know and so do you that at the time she would never have gotten engaged to Benny," a fan wrote on a June 3 TikTok alongside a video of Selena when she was younger. "She was in her IT GIRL era."

But Selena has very different feelings on that period in her life, commenting, "Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then lol."
