Selena Gomez ENGAGED to Benny Blanco as she shows off HUGE ring and says ‘forever begins now’

SELENA Gomez flashed her huge diamond ring as she announced her engagement to Benny Blanco.

The popstar, 32, beamed in a series of snaps posted to her Instagram grid, with the caption: "Forever begins now."

Lose You To Love Me singer Selena held her left hand up to the camera to showcase the massive sparkler on a diamond-studded band.

Another image saw her enjoying a cuddle with record producer and songwriter Benny as they snuggled on the floor, while one snap captured her freshly-manicured hand and engagement band in full glory.

Selena was then captured gazing adoringly at her new jewellery piece as she enjoyed a sunny picnic.

The Calm Down songstress had sparked speculation of her engagement back in September when she was seen sporting a gold band on her ring finger.

This came just two weeks after Selena flashed a glittering ring on her engagement finger at the Emmy's red carpet.

The two lovebirds confirmed their relationship in December last year and have been inseparable ever since.

Over the last few months fans suspected Selena and Benny may have secretly gotten engaged - especially after she posted a mirror selfie with her ring clearly visible - and now their theories have been proved correct.

After the official social media reveal, Selena's famous pals were quick to comment.

Taylor Swift posted: "Yes I will be the flower girl."

Actress Jennifer Aniston posted: "HONEY!! Congratulations sweet mama!"

Rapper Cardi B then put: "Waiiiitttt hold on."

A Selena fan page then added: "WE ARE SCREAMING FOR OUR GIRL!!! CONGRATULATIONS."

GOOD TIMES

The engagement news came after Texas-born Selena was recently declared a billionaire.

She told The Hollywood Reporter of her achievements and said: “I think I’ve done just as much as I wanted to do in music.

"I like that I have to earn my position.

"It’s exciting because I feel like I haven’t even started in film and TV.

“I love storytelling.

"I’m excited to do more.”

Talking of her new bank balance status she added: "I don’t think anything about me has changed.

"I don’t think that I feel different.

"I think I just feel really proud."
