Congratulations are in order for Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco — they're engaged! The couple have been romantically linked since 2023 (although they collaborated on 2019's "I Can't Get Enough"), and on December 11, 2024, Selena Gomez confirmed they were getting married. TLDR; Selena's getting her "love on"!! This is one wedding I know is going to look gorgeous and I, for one, can't wait to see Selena Gomez's wedding dress. I'm smiling just thinking about it!

Here's everything you need to know about Benny Blanco & Selena Gomez's engagement — including Selena Gomez's ring! See their adorable pictures below.

Selena Gomez is engaged! And she's all smiles in the announcement.

Selena Gomez posted four photos to Instagram celebrating her engagement to Benny Blanco, and captioned the post (which begins with a close-up of her amazing engagement ring), "forever begins now.." The post also includes a photo of Selena wearing a fur coat and jeans during a picnic, an overjoyed selfie, and a shot of Benny with his arms around her.

Of course, friends and fans flooded the comments with congratulations, led by Benny himself. "hey wait… that’s my wife," he said. "yes I will be the flower girl," Taylor Swift commented.

Nina Dobrev (who recently got engaged herself to Shaun White) commented with plenty of emojis, saying, "YES !!!! Congratulations!!!!! So happy for you both!!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍‼️" while Selena's official Rare Beauty account commented, "CONGRATULATIONS 🥹💍 so happy for you two!!"

While we won't know details about Selena Gomez's wedding for quite some time (if she chooses to share them), we do know one thing: she's keeping her last name. "I’m not changing my name no matter what,” she said in a September interview with Vanity Fair. “I am Selena Gomez. That’s it.”

The "Lose You To Love Me" singer added that she's "never been loved this way," and called Benny "a complete light in my life" before adding that "he’s my best friend [and] I love telling him everything.”

The internet (and the paparazzi) have focused on Selena's relationships since she began dating Justin Bieber in 2010. Despite the intense scrutiny, the actress has found ways to both speak honestly about her desire for relationships (like in 2020's "Boyfriend") and have fun with her singleness too (like with 2023's "Single Soon").

Selena went viral in June of 2023 when she sat on a field watching a soccer game and called to the players to let them know she was single at the time. "I'm just a little high maintenance but I'll love you so much," she said. Looks like you don't have to sit on any more soccer fields Selena!

We're sending Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco so much love ahead of their big day! Check out Hailee Steinfeld & Josh Allen's gorgeous engagement photos for even more butterflies ;).

Shawn Mendes is in a chatty mood lately, seemingly opening up about a lot of rumors these days — including those viral Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello love triangle rumors. The controversy between this trio is all anyone could talk about during the 2024 VMAs, and now Shawn is ready to talk about it...sort of. On John Mayer's latest SiriusXM show, the singer shared some tidbits that seem to be about the alleged triangle. Here's what the singer had to say!

Scroll down to read what Shawn Mendes potentially just said about THAT Sabrina Carpenter and Camila Cabello situation...

During John Mayer's SiriusXM radio show, How's Life, Shawn Mendes told a slightly vague — but honestly very specific, if you ask me — story about a complicated romantic situation he was in once. He explained that he was "with someone" but he told them that he was going to go hangout with his ex because he had some "unresolved feelings."

The "Stitches" singer continued, saying, “The biggest lesson I’ve heard is no one gets out of this life without getting hurt, and no one gets out of this life without hurting someone.” While nobody ever wants to hurt people — whether they're romantically involved or not — it's honestly inevitable at times, so this is a really apt lesson for Shawn to learn (and share).

Useful platitudes aside, it's not lost on us that this story seems to coincide with the rampant rumors revolving around Shawn, Sabrina, and Camila. According to ELLE, Sabrina and Shawn were spotted out together a ton in 2023, even leaving a Miley Cyrus release party together one night. However, they allegedly split due to Shawn and Camila getting back together.

The timelines between the two relationships are definitely fuzzy, and now it seems like that fact's not lost on Shawn either. Hopefully these lessons he took away from all this have helped him make amends and everyone move on.

...But I'd be lying if I didn't say I'm definitely curious to see what Sabrina and Camila's group chats with their girlfriends look like right now. 🤭

Minimal effort — that's our favorite phrase. Do a bit of arranging, brushing, and drizzling, then let the oven take care of the rest of the work for a dinner that's sure to end up on your regular recipe rotation. We use chopped potatoes, carrots, and red onion in this honey mustard chicken recipe, but you could easily replace 'em with baby new potatoes, baby carrots, and shallots (or scallions) to skip the knife work!

Bonus: Throw a bit of cooked couscous or quinoa in the leftovers (maybe a cheeky sprinkling of goat cheese too), and tomorrow's lunch is sorted. If you love the sheet-pan method, take a look at some of these veggie sheet pan dinners.

Now onto our delicious honey mustard chicken recipe!
