Selena Gomez reflects on 'the most beautiful year of my life'
The singer/actress will mark her big day on Tuesday (22.07.25) and she has looked back on a whirlwind 12 months during which she got engaged to music producer Benny Blanco and started planning their wedding - insisting she's grateful for the "incredible journey" that has brought her to this point and she's "filled with excitement and hope" for the future.
In a post on Instagram, Selena wrote: "As I prepare to celebrate my 33rd birthday, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey that has brought me here. This past year has truly been the most beautiful year of my life, and I owe so much of that to all of you.
"Thank you for your unwavering love and kindness. Whether you cheered me on from the sidelines, shared in my highs and lows, or simply offered a listening ear, you have made this year unforgettable. I am extremely humbled and insanely appreciative of all your love."
She went on to add: "As I step into this new year, I'm filled with excitement and hope for what's to come. I look forward to sharing more moments with all of you, creating new memories, and continuing this beautiful journey together. MADLY LOVE YOU ALL."
Selena and Benny got engaged in December after more than a year of dating, but the music producer recently admitted they haven't had time to start planning their big day yet.
However, he revealed the couple is hoping to take some time over the summer to start putting together plans for the wedding.
Speaking on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast, Benny said: 'Honestly, I really want to take a little break. I've been working so much. I've realised I haven't really had much time off in a while and I'm about to just, I just want to lay in bed and forget what day it is because we've been in bed just watching stuff.'"
Quizzed on whether wedding planning has begun, he responded: 'Not yet, that's why we both need to chill. We've both been working so much ...
"We're both working on so many things that we hadn't even had time to get into it but we're so excited.
"I think this summer we're going to sit down and be like, 'Okay, what are we doing'."

Selena Gomez wants 'biscuits and gravy' at her wedding
Selena Gomez plans to eat "biscuits and gravy" at her wedding. The 33-year-old star is engaged to record producer Benny Blanco, and Selena has revealed the unusual dessert that she wants to eat on her big day. The Only Murders in the Building star said in a Rare Beauty TikTok video: "Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake. "My preferred dessert I think would be biscuits and gravy. My nana's biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me." Despite this, Selena would still like to have a small cake as a memento of the occasion. The brunette beauty - who began dating Benny in 2023 - shared: "I think I want a mini one for just us that we can freeze." Meanwhile, Selena previously revealed that she'd love to have children one day. The actress announced her engagement to Benny in 2024, and Selena would love to raise children with him in the future. Selena - who previously revealed that she isn't able to carry her own children - said on the Jay Shetty Podcast: "I don't know what will happen, obviously, but I love children. I have an 11-year-old sister that I absolutely adore. "I love making [children] laugh; they're just so sweet. So absolutely, when that day comes, I'm so excited for it." Benny observed that Selena is the "ultimate level of shy". However, the producer noted that her demeanour changes when she's around children. The 37-year-old star - who has previously worked with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, two of Selena's former boyfriends - said: "When she walks into a room, her main goal is to disappear into the crowd. My mom is very similar, [she] and my mom are very similar. "They'll wait and say like one thing throughout the night that winds up being the most poignant or funny thing of the night. But I'm gonna have diarrhoea of the mouth talking to everyone. "Whenever there's kids at a place it's the only time I see her do that. She immediately goes to the kids and has these conversations for hours with the kids."

Logan Lerman loved the Only Murders in the Building set
Logan Lerman found the Only Murders in the Building set to be "oddly fun". The 33-year-old actor joined the cast of the hit TV show for season five, and Logan has revealed that he relished the experience of working with the likes of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Logan told People: "It's an oddly fun set to be on." The actor explained that "sometimes, sets are not that enjoyable". However, he hailed the Only Murders set for being "a really good one". He shared: "It's so great. That's a really fun show to work on. I had a really good time." Despite this, Logan is determined to remain tight-lipped about his on-screen character. He said: "I don't want to ruin anything, but I'm excited for people to see it." Meanwhile, Selena previously admitted that she loves working with Steve and Martin on the show. The 33-year-old actress also praised the show's writers, acknowledging that they are key to the success of Only Murders in the Building. She told Numero: "Sometimes it's just impossible to keep a straight face for me. They are much better at it than me. "I love comedy and I have so much fun on set. And I think it is mainly thanks to the writing and to the scriptwriters." Asked what she's learned from working with Steve and Martin, Selena replied: "I just enjoy their company. Even when I'm on set, sitting, waiting around for something to happen and they're playing a game, I find some comfort in that. I feel very safe and protected around them." Selena feels that she's grown into her on-screen character. The brunette beauty - who has also enjoyed huge success with her music - shared: "I feel like I've been able to gradually become Mabel and to grow with her. She is a part of me now. I'm just enjoying the process." Despite this, Selena actually remains in the dark about the show's murder mysteries until the cameras start rolling. Speaking ahead of season four of the show, she said: "I had no idea about who had done what until the shooting of the film was about to start. So it was a real surprise."
