The holidays are a time for family love and, for some couples, romance. Engagements are a holiday tradition, and Benny Blanco decided this was the perfect time of year to pop the question. He asked his girlfriend of more than a year, Selena Gomez, to marry him in mid-December, much to the Calm Down singer’s excitement. She shared the good news on December 11. Fans quickly zoomed in on Selena Gomez’s engagement ring, and it’s a stunner. She took to her Instagram stories on December 19 to share another close-up with the text, “Sorry last post…” Text on the video read. “I’ve just dreamed of this moment my whole life.”

It Appears Benny Dropped A Pretty Penny On Selena Gomez’s Engagement Ring
Diamond expert Steven Stone told Crisscut Magazine he estimated the sparkler to be worth upwards of $200,000.
“Selena’s exquisite sparkler showcases a stunning 4-carat marquise-cut diamond, a true symbol of elegance and luxury. Its elongated shape holds special meaning for Selena, as it subtly alludes to the lyrics from her song ‘Good for You’, a personal touch from Benny. With meticulously crafted facets that come together to create an exceptional brilliance, the center stone is complimented by diamond-encrusted shoulders. While marquise-cut diamonds are less common than the more traditional round or cushion cuts, they are highly coveted by those with a taste for individuality and distinction.”
Fans immediately tweeted after she posted pics on Instagram with congratulations, including an offer from Taylor Swift, who wrote, “Yes, I will be the flower girl.”
Another fan wrote, “I could not be more happier for you. God is so good and you are so deserving of this love!! I knew he was the one for you. Love you angel xxx.”’
Benny Blanco commented with pride on the pictures of Selena’s engagement ring: “Hey, wait… that’s my wife.”
