The engagement rumors started swirling in August when Selena posted a mirror selfie with a heart emoji placed over her left ring finger. Just a few weeks ago, she confirmed their engagement by sharing an album that showcased her stunning engagement ring, captioning it, “forever begins now..,” to which Benny humorously replied, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”

In her New Year’s Eve post, Selena reminisced about their cherished moments together, from cozy nights at home to glamorous outings. One video captured a sweet kiss during a night out, while another photo highlighted a playful moment of them being caught on a shop’s security camera while wearing masks. A particularly touching addition to the album was a photo of a paper plate with “I love you” written on it.

The album also featured a heartwarming moment with her 11-year-old sister, Gracie Elliott Teefey, as they shared ice cream at the iconic Serendipity dessert restaurant in New York.

Selena has been vocal about her deep affection for Benny, referring to him as “my absolute everything” and “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” She has confidently addressed critics of their relationship, asserting her happiness and making it clear that she won’t allow negative comments to impact her life.
