The proposal included a sentimental touch that has captured fans’ attention. Blanco selected a marquise diamond engagement ring, a nod to Gomez’s 2015 hit song Good For You featuring A$AP Rocky. The lyrics, “I’m in my marquise diamond,” have now taken on a deeply personal meaning for the singer.
The couple, who have been dating publicly for 18 months but were friends for several years prior, celebrated their engagement with a Taco Bell-themed picnic. Gomez shared a carousel of photos, including a close-up of the ring and the intimate park setup. She captioned the post, “Forever begins now,” while Blanco responded playfully in the comments, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
Fans and celebrities alike have praised the sweet gesture, with Selena’s best friend Taylor Swift volunteering to be the flower girl, and celebrities like Cardi B, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Suki Waterhouse offering their congratulations.
Social media reactions have ranged from admiration for the thoughtful ring choice to excitement over the couple’s future. Fans noted Blanco’s attention to detail, with some praising the proposal as “classy” and “stunning.”
The engagement has further endeared the couple to fans, who eagerly await updates on their wedding plans.
