Selena Gomez Almost Averted Her Own Engagement - A Chaotic Tale Revealed on "The Tonight Show"
- Bride came close to sabotaging her own wedding.
Looks like Selena Gomez (32) nearly botched her own engagement day, as revealed in her chat spree with Jimmy Fallon (50) on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". Her fiancé, the renowned producer Benny Blanco (37), saw the days leading up to his proposal as nothing short of chaos.
Appearing alongside Blanco, promoting their duo album "I Said I Love You First", Gomez reminisced about the eventful day, which almost didn't occur due to her grumpiness. "I thought, 'I'm really tired. It's too much.' So I told him, 'After this shoot, I'm going to hang with my friends'", she dished to Fallon.
The Pre-Engagement Gloom
Blanco shared that he was thrown into a state of panic after hearing Gomez's plan to bail out on their big moment. "She was angry! She almost didn't show up!", he lamented. It seemed that Gomez was determined to reschedule the album photoshoot, casting a gloomy shadow over the anticipated proposal.
Reflecting on the impromptu engagement and the turmoil preceding it, Blanco humorously likened the situation to "the craziest thing in the world" - right before declaring his intent to spend the rest of his life with her. The emotional rollercoaster didn't end there, though. "Just before you ask someone to be with you forever, it's like, 'Show me how good you are at lying.'", he candidly admitted.
Blanco prided himself on his honesty, which made his deception even more challenging. He hid the engagement ring in a bag, hoping no one would stumble upon it before the big reveal. The harrowing week leading up to the proposal weighed heavily on his mind.

Gomez, who has been excelling in her acting pursuits, notably in "Emilia Pérez" and portraying Jessi Del Monte, made her relationship with Blanco public in December 2023. Following an eventful year, they announced their engagement in December 2024.
Their joint album, slated to drop on March 21, promises an inspiring exploration of their love story.
