A whirlwind of renowned personalities has flooded Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco with congratulatory messages after they announced their engagement on Instagram last night. Among the eagle-eyed admirers who swiftly acknowledged the joyous occasion was Hailey Bieber, a prominent A-lister who eagerly lent her support to the couple. Bieber's Instagram account was one of the over 16 million users who favored the post, showcasing images of Gomez's dazzling new marquise diamond engagement ring. Additional snapshots captured Gomez beaming on a picnic blanket arranged in a studio meticulously designed to resemble a park, as well as the newly engaged pair embracing, with Gomez lifting her adorned hand towards the camera.
"Forever begins now," penned the star of "Only Murders in the Building" in the caption. Blanco humorously replied, "Hey wait… that’s my wife."
Other celebrities couldn't help but voice their excitement in the comments section. Gomez's lifelong confidante, Taylor Swift, playfully wrote, "Yes, I will be the flower girl." Jennifer Aniston extended her heartfelt congratulations to Gomez by stating, "HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama! " Cardi B eagerly added, "Waiiiitttt, hold on!"
Hailey Bieber, who is married to Gomez's former beau Justin Bieber, previously addressed rumors of a rift between her and Gomez during a 2022 appearance on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast. Acknowledging that Justin and Gomez had reignited their off-and-on relationship mere months before Justin's 2018 marriage, Bieber remarked, "I believe it was the best thing for him to move on, get engaged, marry, and proceed with his life in that manner. I was aware of the circumstances leading to their reconciliation and understood what had to transpire for their relationship to rejuvenate in a healthy way."
The founder of Rhode further elaborated that she and Justin are "far removed from any sort of drama" and that they don't "wish to stir up or revisit the past." "[Fans] may wish that he had ended up with someone else, and that's perfectly fine. You're entitled to your wishes, but that's simply not how it unfolded," she concluded. "If we've moved on, why can't you?"
