Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are still going strong despite fake posts circulating online claiming the couple had split after engagement rumors started to fill the internet.
On August 19, 2024, Selena Gomez took to her Instagram stories to share a lovey-dovey photo with Benny Blanco. In the picture, taken in a bathroom setting, Gomez wraps her arm around Blanco's back as he dries his face with a cloth. Both Gomez and Blanco are clad in comfy white clothes in the shot. However, what's noticeably absent from the picture is a ring.
Earlier this month, Gomez and Blanco made headlines after she seemingly teased their engagement, also on Instagram stories, posting another bathroom mirror selfie while strategically covering her left hand with a heart emoji.
In the new picture, both of Gomez's hands are fully in frame, and the only jewelry she's sporting are her trademark thick gold hoops. Gomez seems to be rocking the same custom Apple Cider Red Mani from her previous selfie in the new pic. The shade was created by her go-to manicurist, Tom Bachik, in early August, so it's unclear when the pics could have been taken.
Before Gomez posted her selfie, Blanco had also given fans a peek into their couple's dynamic, posting a screenshot of the duo on a video call to his Instagram stories. In the pic, Gomez, who is sporting the same mani but whose fingers are not in the frame, is seen smiling with her eyes while taking a sip from her tumbler with a metal straw as Blanco watches over lovingly.
Speculation about Gomez and Blanco's potential engagement is at an all-time high, with fans trying to dissect their every social move for clues while they wait for a formal announcement or denial — if they ever give out one.
