Selena Gomez sparked engagement rumors with Benny Blanco

Actress Selena Gomez sparked engagement rumors with boyfriend Benny Blanco: such speculations emerged after she posted a photo on Instagram in which her ring finger is covered with a heart figurine.

The photo caught the attention of readers who began discussing the alleged engagement: "Selena Gomez Announces Engagement Without Announcing It," "I Think Selena Gomez Just Got Engaged Because She Covers Up Her Left Hand In Her Latest Instagram Story," "She is definitely engaged."

Additionally, reports that 32-year-old Selena Gomez is engaged surfaced on gossip site DeuxMoi. From there, the two are believed to have gotten engaged last weekend while vacationing with friends at their beach house.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have been together for just over a year. They often post photos together and publicly declare their love for each other. At the same time, Gomez's fans do not like her boyfriend: he is often criticized for comparing her to her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. They are trying to contrast Gomez herself with Bieber's current wife Hailey, and believe that public declarations of love and joint Instagram photos of Gomez and Blanco are nothing more than attempts to affect her ex-boyfriend.

Gomez herself is also often criticized: for her appearance and her weight. The actress has repeatedly spoken publicly on this topic and responded to the attacks of the haters. Six months ago, she showed off two then-and-now photos of herself in a swimsuit and said she'll never look the same, and recently hit back at rumors she's had plastic surgery. | BGNES
