Selena Gomez wore a gold band on her ring finger when she went out in Burbank on Thursday, which only served to fuel engagement speculations. The 32-year-old actress from Only Murders in the Building, who was just featured in the first teaser for her next Netflix movie Emilia Perez, chose the necklace while grabbing a short lunch at Subway.
When the CEO of Rare Beauty posted a selfie earlier this month and covered up her ring finger, rumors began to circulate that she and her boyfriend, Benny Blanco, were engaged. Gomez wore a gray, short-sleeved top with a picture of the late singer Selena Quintanilla Pérez on the front during her most recent outing.
The actress let her brunette hair fall past her shoulders and tucked herself into cozy black sweatpants. She held her smartphone in her palm with ease and had a set of headphones resting on top of her head. Selena, escorted by a bodyguard, took a few items from the fast food restaurant chain Subway.
Later, the Wolves singer was spotted leaving the restaurant and making her way back to a sleek, parked SUV before continuing on to her next stop. A sparkling gold band was noticed on her ring finger during the errand run, which added to the circulating speculations about their engagement.
When Gomez posted a mirror selfie to her Instagram stories earlier this month, it aroused the first rumors that Blanco had proposed. As she was getting ready for “a night out,” she wore an open-toed, strappy pump and a glittering champagne colored dress. The photo was taken inside a large bathroom, and Benny was spotted standing behind her.
The actress covered her left hand with pink heart emoticons, leading admirers to speculate that she might be hiding a ring. X quickly became the topic of social media comments regarding the image. One user wrote, “Selena Gomez announcing she’s engaged by intentionally trying not to announce that she’s engaged.”
‘I believe Selena Gomez recently got engaged, because she’s hiding her left hand on her most recent Instagram story,’ another commenter said. ‘She’s def engaged [sobbing emoji],’ another said.
Shortly after a “tip” was posted on the gossip website DeuxMoi, Gomez and Blanco allegedly “got engaged” in August while “surrounded by friends at their usual beach house hang out.” This was the time of the selfie.
Gomez was spotted at LAX airport earlier this week, however she persisted in covering her left hand with her shirt’s long sleeve. But when Gomez arrived at the Telluride Film Festival on Friday, she did so in style—most notably, by leaving her left ring finger naked.
It appeared as though she changed her attire and undid her updo to go on stage with Karla Sofia Gascon and Jacques Audiard. As she spoke with Audiard, she was spotted giving Gascon a hug. Gomez was spotted standing next to Gascon on stage, with Adriana Paz to her side, as she spoke.
Gomez also gave Audiard a silver medallion during the occasion.
