Selena Gomez reveals she almost ruined Benny Blanco proposal during Tonight Show appearance
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco opened up about their engagement during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, revealing that the special moment almost didn't go as planned. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, appeared on the show to promote their new collaborative album I Said I Love You First, which dropped at midnight. Blanco described the lead-up to the proposal as 'the scariest week' of his life. Meanwhile, Gomez admitted she had no idea he was planning to propose and nearly derailed it by suggesting they reschedule the shoot he had arranged for the moment. 'I was really tired, a little grumpy, and didn't feel like going,' she recalled. 'I told him after the shoot I'd rather hang out with my friends.' Blanco said that keeping the proposal a secret was one of the hardest things he's ever done. 'It's like, right before you ask someone to marry you, they're asking you to lie — and I'm bad at lying,' he said. He explained how difficult it was to hide the ring, eventually stashing it in a box inside a bag he hoped Gomez wouldn't go through. Despite the rocky lead-up, the proposal went through — though the couple hasn't set a wedding date just yet. 'We're not planning it exactly at this moment,' Gomez shared. 'We want to make sure the music's good, and I'm letting that be his job.' Their relationship, which began in mid-2023, has been in the spotlight alongside the release of their 14-track album featuring collaborations with Gracie Abrams, The Marias, GloRilla, J Balvin, and Tainy, with songwriting by Finneas and Charli XCX. Their engagement even got a playful nod from Taylor Swift, who commented on Instagram, 'Yes I will be the flower girl.'
