Selena Gomez is over the moon for this big milestone in her life. It has been a couple of weeks since the "Rare" singer announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco and marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter. On Thursday (Dec. 19), Gomez gave her fans a closer look at her dazzling marquise-cut diamond engagement ring, which features an elegant pavé band. Sharing her excitement on Instagram Stories, she captioned the clip, "Sorry last post. I’ve just dreamed of this moment my whole life."

A Romantic Proposal with a Personal Touch

Blanco recently shared behind-the-scenes footage of the romantic proposal, which he arranged on a soundstage designed to look like a serene park setting.
