What Selena Has (Kinda Vaguely) Said
Back in May 2024, Selena told Time, “I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that [Benny is] not going anywhere anytime soon.” Sounds promising, if slightly cryptic!
But then on June 30, the actor/singer hopped into the comments of a TikTok that was captioned, “I know and so do you that at the time she would never have gotten engaged to Benny, She was in her IT GIRL era.”
Her response? Sel wrote, “Kinda makes me laugh because I was so depressed back then, lol.” Cool-cool-cool, but note how she fully didn’t deny the engagement part.
And then on August 8—just days after the aforementioned DeuxMoi post—Selena hopped onto her Insta Stories with a mirror selfie and some heart-shaped emojis riiiiiight over her ring finger. I mean, that placement!
Selena was also spotted with a gold ring on her engagement finger on August 29, and cozied up to Benny at the 2024 Emmys on September 15, further fueling the rumors. Though, she purposefully hid *that* finger while posing for photos on the red carpet, per the Daily Mail.
Most recently on October 2, Selena posted a photo featuring a gold rings on both her ring fingers:
