SELENA Gomez has dropped another hint that she and boyfriend Benny Blanco are engaged during a Rare Beauty charity event.
The singer visited classrooms as part of the Rare Impact Fund and fans spotted a subtle detail about her look that suggested she was secretly a bride-to-be.
Selena, 32, shared photos from the event on her Instagram feed, that showed her interacting with students.
In the first photo in the bunch, the Calm Down singer was seen sitting at a table laughing with a group of teens.
She was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and folded her arms on top of one another on the table.
A closer look revealed a gold ring on her left-hand ring finger, also visible in other shots.
In the third photo in her carousel, she is seen thumbing through a book with the ring on full display once again.
Fans in the comments had nothing but kind words for Selena but did not mention the ring on her finger.
“We love to see it,” gushed one supporter.
“We’re so proud of you queen,” shared a second.
“Applause for our girl,” wrote a third fan.
RING THE ALARM
This isn’t the first time fans have speculated that Selena and Benny are preparing to tie the knot.
On August 8, she shared a selfie on her Instagram Story that got fans talking.
In the photo, she stood in front of a large mirror wearing a cream, one-shoulder dress with a pair of strappy high heels.
She placed a double heart emoji over the snap, covering her left ring finger.

Selena and Benny previously sparked engagement rumors earlier in the month when pop culture Instagram account Deuxmoi revealed that a source said an “A-list actress and semi-retired singer” had gotten engaged.
The post was shared on a Reddit thread that read, “This A-list actress/semi-retired got engaged over the weekend to her boyfriend of a year.
“[They were] surrounded by friends at their usual beach hangout.”
The couple’s fans were quick to assume the source was referring to Selena and Benny, with several sharing excited reactions in the thread.
“I hope this is true!” one person exclaimed. “They seem great together.”
A second fan pointed out that Selena “looks really happy” and Benny appears to “be on the same page” as her.
Rumors about Selena and Benny’s romance began swirling in November 2023, a month before she confirmed that they were a couple.
When she finally confirmed the relationship, she gushed in a caption, “He is my absolute everything in my heart. He’s still better than anyone I’ve ever been with. Facts.”
SHE’S ALL-IN
After she went public about her romance online, Selena and Benny have been packing on the PDA, even attending the 2024 Golden Globes together.
The pair frequently fawn over one another but they’re not the only ones talking about the relationship.
Earlier this year, Dana Covarrubias, the costume designer on Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, told The U.S. Sun that Selena and Benny are “so in love.”
Asked if she believed an engagement was in the future, Dana replied, “I don’t know. I don’t know. I hope so. I hope so. They seem so happy and in love, so fingers crossed.

Chatting with The U.S. Sun, John also revealed Selena’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin, 78, and Martin Short, 74, are also big fans of Benny.
The songwriter, who published his own cookbook called Open Wide, told WSJ magazine that he’s “in love” with Selena, adding, “I was the last one to know.”
“It’s crazy how your partner could just be sitting there the whole time, right in front of your eyes, and you don’t even notice, and then you have that Clueless moment where you’re like, ‘Wait, I’m in love,'” he said.
Neither Selena nor Benny has confirmed an engagement at this time.
