Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are soaking up the festive season as an engaged couple! The pair attended composer Benj Pasek’s annual holiday party in New York City, marking their first Christmas together since their engagement. Gomez, 32, wore a cozy gray snowflake-adorned ensemble with a white beanie, while Blanco, 36, sported a cream-colored sweater featuring a stuffed animal dog in the pocket.
The holiday gathering was a delightful mix of traditions, with guests including Debra Messing, Judy Gold, Erin Lichy, Alex Edelman, chef Jake Cohen, and Broadway star Adam Kantor. Chef Cohen shared glimpses of the lively evening on Instagram, highlighting the warmth and joy of the celebration.

Gomez revealed her engagement to Blanco on December 11, 2024, after dating for about a year and a half. Their connection, however, stretches back years to their collaboration on Gomez’s 2019 hit song I Can’t Get Enough with Tainy and J Balvin. Their friendship eventually blossomed into a romance, which Gomez confirmed publicly in 2024.
An insider described the couple’s bond as incredibly strong, with Gomez radiating happiness since their engagement. “They complement each other so well,” the source shared with People. “They’re perfect together. Benny wants the best for Selena, and she wants the best for him.”
The couple’s artistic partnership has remained a significant part of their relationship. In August 2023, Gomez and Blanco collaborated on her hit single Single Soon, showcasing their creative synergy. Their romance became official later that year when they made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Emmy Awards, where fans got their first glimpse of their budding relationship.
Blanco’s proposal was as playful as it was heartfelt. During a picnic with their favorite fast food, he presented Gomez with a stunning marquise diamond ring a nod to her song Good for You and asked her to marry him. Gomez later announced the engagement on social media, writing, “Forever begins now,” while Blanco humorously added, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The couple’s love story, rooted in friendship, mutual support, and artistic connection, continues to inspire fans as they embark on this exciting new chapter together.
