Selena Gomez has found her forever.

So she hopes, at least.

On December 11, the singer/actress confirmed via Instagram that she has agreed to marry boyfriend Benny Blanco after about a year of dating.

And she could not be happier about it!

“forever begins now..,” Gomez captioned her precious post, which features a number of photos of her and her future husband.

For his part, Blanco is ready to make their union official, remarking on Gomez’s announcement, “hey wait… that’s my wife.”

Totally precious, right?

It looks, meanwhile, as of Blanco popped the romantic question during a picnic date… as Gomez shared a photo of herself admiring her ring while sitting on blankets on a manicured lawn, surrounded by Taco Bell takeout and a wicker basket.

The stars began dating in the summer of 2023 before going public later that year.

They got engaged about two decades after they were first introduced, too, and five years since they collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough.”

How cool is that?!?

“We both met each other like almost 16, 17 years ago,” Blanco recalled in an April interview with SiriusXM Hits 1.

“Obviously, we made a bunch of songs together. But before we had made any music together, I was one of her big meetings—like right around when she was just leaving Disney to make her own music.”

During a May appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco told the host that he could see marriage in his future with the Only Murders In The Building cast member.

“When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this,” he said at the time.

There have been rumors since August that Gomez and Blanco would get engaged.

And now, of course, this rumor is an amazing reality.

In December, Gomez professed to a fan online that Benny “is my absolute everything in my heart” and also confirmed they’d been together for six months.

Blanco clearly feels the same way.

“She’s truly my best friend,” he also told Howard Stern. “We laugh all f-cking day. She inspires me.”

We’re so very happy for Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco!

Selena Gomez Responds to Idiot Politician Who Says She Should Be Deported

Selena Gomez is singing a pretty angry tune at the moment.

For good reason, too, we should emphasize.

In a since-deleted video posted on her Instagram Stories this week, the actress responded to the recent deportations that have been occurring in the United States, as carried out by those working under President Donald Trump.

In text laid over the video, Gomez wrote, “I’m sorry,” adding an emoji of the Mexican flag.

“All my people are getting attacked, the children,” Gomez said in the video. “I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

The Only Murders in the Building star is of Mexican descent and broke down in tears while sharing these words.

Because so many people out there are insensitive morons or very racist or some combination of both, she was criticized almost immediately after uploading this emotional footage.

In a follow-up post, Gomez wrote over a black background, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”

Appearing on Fox News, border czar Tom Homan delivered a blunt response when asked about Gomez’s video.

“I don’t think we’ve arrested any families. We’ve arrested public safety threats and national security threats, bottom-line,” he said.

“President Trump won the election on this one issue — securing our border and saving lives. What happened on our southern border in the last four years is the biggest national security threat our county has seen, at least in my lifetime.”

One could object to portions of that statement, but at least Homan didn’t go as far as Sam Parker, a 2018 Republican Senate candidate from Utah, who wrote on Twitter, Deport Selena Gomez.

Gomez saw this note and has reacted to it with a shoulder shrug and a guffaw at that idiot’s expense.

“Oh, Mr. Parker, Mr. Parker. Thanks for the laugh and the threat,” wrote Selena on social media.

The star’s original post came one day after 956 people were arrested in a nationwide immigration crackdown … the most since Trump took office on January 20, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

There were 956 reported arrests on Sunday, 286 arrests on Saturday and 593 arrests last Friday.

In a candid op-ed for Time Magazine in October 2019, Gomez shared that her aunt “was the first out of her family to cross the border from Mexico into the U.S. in the back of a truck in the 1970s.”

According to the artist, her “grandparents followed” and her “father was born in Texas soon after.”

“Undocumented immigration is an issue I think about every day, and I never forget how blessed I am to have been born in this country thanks to my family and the grace of circumstance,” she wrote at the time, adding:

“When I read the news headlines or see debates about immigration rage on social media, I feel afraid for those in similar situations. I feel afraid for my country.”
