Selena Gomez has reportedly been engaged to Benny Blanco secretly for months.
A source told DailyMail.com that the 32-year-old singer, who announced her engagement to the 35-year-old music producer, actually “became engaged in August”.
According to the source, Gomez “didn't want her engagement to be tied to Bieber in any way”.
For the unversed, her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber, who had had an on-off relationship with the Single Soon singer between 2009 to 2018, welcomed a baby boy with wife Hailey Bieber.
"Selena knew that there would be stories accusing her of getting engaged to turn attention away from Justin’s baby,” the source dished out, adding, “Or that people would claim that she did this to one up him.”
As per the source, the Love You Like a Love Song singer, announced her engagement to Benny in December instead of August.
The actress-singer posted a picture of a large engagement ring on Instagram, with the caption "forever begins now".
Gomez, who met Blanco in 2015 through professional work, started dating him back in July 2023.
After months of staying silent on the dating rumours, the singer later confirmed it officially last year in December.
