Selena Gomez sparks engagement rumors with photo of herself covering her ring finger with a heart
Actress Selena Gomez has sparked engagement rumors with boyfriend Benny Blanco after she posted a photo on Instagram* with her ring finger covered in a heart.
The photo caught the attention of followers, who began discussing the alleged engagement: "Selena Gomez is announcing her engagement without announcing it", "I think Selena Gomez just got engaged because why is she covering her left hand in her last Instagram story*", "She is definitely engaged".
Additionally, reports that Selena Gomez, 32, is engaged have surfaced on gossip site DeuxMoi, which believes that the two got engaged this weekend while relaxing with friends at their beach house.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco often post photos together and publicly confess their love for each other. At the same time, Gomez's fans don't really like her boyfriend: he is often criticized and compared to Gomez's ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, not to Blanco's advantage. Gomez herself is being pitted against Bieber's current wife, Hailey, and they believe that public declarations of love and joint photos on Instagram* are nothing more than attempts to hurt her ex-boyfriend.
Gomez herself is also often criticized: she gets it for her appearance and weight. The actress has repeatedly spoken publicly on this topic and responded to attacks from haters. Six months ago, she showed two photos of herself in a bathing suit "then and now" and said that she would never look like she did before, and recently responded to rumors that she had plastic surgery.
