2025 has already set the stage for some seriously surprising celebrity news or should we call it Bride era, and it’s all thanks to Selena Gomez and Zendaya. These two stars, who’ve graced our screens and playlists for years, have decided to throw us the most unexpected plot twist in celebrity relationships: they’re both engaged.
Yes, you read that right. Selena Gomez, queen of heartbreak songs and flawless red carpet moments, is officially off the market. And Zendaya, the definition of cool, calm, and collected, has just thrown her hat into the engagement ring game (pun intended).
Selena Gomez, known for her hits like “Lose You to Love Me” and “Come & Get It,” has had her fair share of high-profile relationships. From her tumultuous romance with Justin Bieber to keeping us all guessing with the low-key relationships that followed, it’s safe to say Selena’s love life has been a rollercoaster. But in 2025, Selena decided to keep the ride smooth and steady, and what better way to do that than with music producer Benny Blanco? That’s right, Selena is now engaged to Benny, the man behind many of her chart-topping hits. Fans were initially taken aback by the news, but it didn’t take long for everyone to realize that this relationship was built on solid ground—both personally and professionally.
Selena dropped the bride era bombshell on Instagram, as only a queen could. With a simple but striking photo of her hand, adorned with a jaw-dropping diamond ring, she wrote the words that made all of us do a double-take: “Forever begins now.” Forever? As in, with Benny Blanco? Well, Selena, we’ve got to say, that’s one heck of a way to start a new chapter.
Fans were immediately in a frenzy. People started doing mental math—How long have they been dating? Did Benny secretly propose during a music studio session? Is the ring secretly a producer’s tool? The theories were endless, but one thing is for sure: everyone is excited for Selena. The comment section exploded with love and congratulations, and we couldn’t help but feel like proud parents witnessing their child get engaged.
It was a full-on social media moment, and we were all here for it. Fans posted heartfelt messages, and some even wrote fanfics about how Benny proposed to Selena. (We wouldn’t be surprised if some of them made it into a music video script.) “I knew it!” one fan tweeted, “Selena deserves this kind of love!” Another added, “I’m not crying, you’re crying,” and we were all collectively sobbing into our keyboards. After all, this is the girl who’s been so open about her struggles and growth over the years. Watching her find happiness with Benny Blanco was like seeing the ending of a rom-com that we didn’t even know we needed.
But Selena wasn’t the only one throwing us for a loop in 2025. Zendaya, the effortlessly cool star of Spider-Man and Euphoria, made her own engagement announcement, and it was equally low-key but packed with punch. Zendaya, who has somehow managed to be both an A-list actress and the internet’s best-dressed enigma, has been rumored to be dating Tom Holland for what feels like forever. The two have been that couple—the one everyone ships but never really confirms anything. But in 2025, Zendaya decided to throw caution to the wind and casually showed off her engagement ring at the Golden Globes. You know, just another Tuesday in Zendaya’s world.
Her announcement was so chill it was practically a mic drop. There she was, rocking the red carpet with Tom by her side, and bam—there it was: the ring. Not a big speech, no elaborate Instagram post, just a flash of that diamond and a perfectly timed, “Well, I guess we’re doing this.” And just like that, the internet exploded. Fans didn’t even have time to process it—they were too busy running to their phones to tweet about Zendaya and Tom’s engagement like they were announcing the arrival of a royal baby. “Zendaya and Tom? Engaged? I’m screaming!” one fan tweeted, while another wrote, “I swear, if Zendaya gets married before me, I’m going to riot.” We get it, pal. We’re all just here living our best lives through these two.
The beauty of Zendaya’s announcement was how perfectly her it was. She’s always been someone who keeps her personal life just private enough to keep us intrigued but not too secretive to make us feel left out. She’s the queen of “I’m going to do what I want, and you’ll get the news when I’m ready to give it to you.” That’s exactly what she did here—no fanfare, no drama, just a simple, elegant moment that made everyone on the internet gasp in collective joy. The only thing we could think was, “How does Zendaya manage to make everything look so effortlessly cool?”
So, now we find ourselves in what I can only describe as the bride era—an era where two of the most iconic women in Hollywood are about to get married, and we are all invited to the virtual wedding (even if we don’t have a plus-one). Fans have been flooding social media with well-wishes for both Selena and Zendaya.
People are reminiscing about how they’ve followed these stars from their early days in the industry to now, and it’s heartwarming to see how far they’ve come. It’s not just about the rings or the famous boyfriends or even the bride era announcement; it’s about watching these women, who have been so open about their struggles and triumphs, find happiness in their personal lives.
One Twitter user summed it up perfectly: “These women deserve all the love and happiness in the world. We’ve been rooting for them since day one.” And it’s true. Both Selena and Zendaya have built their careers on being authentic and staying true to themselves. Their fans have stuck by them through thick and thin, and now, we’re all celebrating their engagement news like it’s our own. If you haven’t gotten teary-eyed watching their posts and reading their captions, are you even living?
Now that we know about the engagements, the burning question is: what’s next? Selena and Benny are clearly going to have a beautiful wedding, and if we’re lucky, we’ll get a glimpse of it on social media or in a Netflix documentary. We can already picture Selena in a stunning gown, Benny probably in a stylish suit, and us all sobbing as they exchange vows. And Zendaya? Well, Zendaya’s wedding is bound to be equally epically cool.
Selena Gomez and Zendaya have given us the bride era news we didn’t know we needed but are now fully vested in. These two queens are about to start their new chapters, and we’ll be here, cheering them on every step of the way. If their engagement announcements were any indication, their weddings will be nothing short of spectacular—and we’ll be here, watching, crying, and probably living vicariously through their sparkly lives. So, to Selena and Benny, and to Zendaya and Tom, congratulations!
