Selena Gomez, 32, Announces Engagement to Benny Blanco, 36 — Couple Expecting First Child via Surrogate

In a heartfelt announcement that took fans by surprise, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 32, has confirmed her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, 36. The couple, who have been romantically linked for the past year, shared the joyful news on social media along with another major milestone: they are expecting their first child via surrogate.

The news follows Gomez’s recent appearance on the On Purpose podcast with Jay Shetty, where she candidly discussed her ongoing health journey, including her experiences with lupus and bipolar disorder—both of which have contributed to her challenges with fertility.

On Instagram, Gomez posted a touching black-and-white photo of the couple holding hands beside a baby onesie, accompanied by an emotional caption:

> “Life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it. I never thought this kind of joy would find me the way it did. Benny, you are my heart. And yes… we’re having a baby.”

Gomez’s openness about her medical history has earned her praise in recent years for breaking stigma and encouraging honest conversations about health, mental wellness, and motherhood.

The couple has yet to reveal a due date or further details about their wedding plans, but sources close to the pair say they are “deeply in love” and “excited to start this next chapter together.”
