Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are clearly enjoying the magic of the holiday season together, and their latest Instagram video is giving fans a glimpse into their newly engaged life. On December 26, Blanco, 36, shared a heartwarming video of himself and Gomez, 32, snuggling up in a cozy setting, basking in the glow of the season.
In the video, the couple is seen mouthing the lyrics to the classic Christmas carol “Winter Wonderland,” as it plays live in the background. Gomez looks effortlessly chic, resting her head on Blanco’s shoulder while her engagement ring—a stunning marquise-cut diamond—sparkles in the light. The ring, estimated at around six carats and valued at $225,000, is a showstopper, as noted by Jared Jewelers’ expert Ann Grimmett.
Gomez’s hand rests lovingly on a stuffed animal on Blanco’s chest, showcasing the couple’s easygoing and affectionate bond. The sweet moment was later shared by Gomez on her own Instagram account, giving fans a look at the adorable duo celebrating their love.
As the pair enjoy the carol together, Blanco offers a peek at the musical genius behind the performance: Nicholas Britell, the award-winning composer known for his work on films like Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Mufasa: The Lion King. It’s a fitting soundtrack for the couple’s intimate moment, with Britell’s compositions perfectly adding to the enchanting holiday vibe.
The video came just weeks after the couple’s engagement announcement, which was shared in a heartfelt Instagram post from Gomez on December 11. The post showed Gomez’s marquise diamond ring in full view, with the caption reading, “[F]orever begins now..” This simple yet powerful statement marked the beginning of a new chapter for the couple, who have now shared multiple intimate moments with their fans, offering a glimpse into their joyous future together.
For the first Christmas as an engaged couple, Gomez and Blanco also made sure to celebrate together in style. The couple attended a Hanukkah party in New York City, surrounded by friends and family. The festivities marked another milestone for the couple, as they continue to enjoy their engagement.
Blanco’s love for Gomez is evident not only in his public displays of affection but also in the way he’s taken the time to learn about her favorite things. When Blanco appeared in PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive issue, he shared a fun tidbit about how he learned to make Taco Bell’s meat, a favorite fast food of Gomez’s. Blanco, who admits he’s not the best cook, explained that he learned to make the meal because it was something Gomez loves, proving that sometimes, it’s the thought that counts.
In their posts and moments together, the couple’s chemistry is undeniable. A source close to the couple told PEOPLE earlier this month, “They are so supportive of each other. He wants the best for her and she wants the best for him. They’re perfect together. They really are.” It’s clear that the love between Gomez and Blanco is built on mutual admiration and support, with the two sharing a beautiful bond that has only deepened since they got engaged.
Fans were quick to show their excitement about the engagement, with Taco Bell even commenting on Blanco’s Instagram post, which featured a video of the couple celebrating their engagement with champagne. “We can hear the wedding bells ringing now, so happy for you two ,” Taco Bell’s official Instagram account wrote, sharing in the excitement.
As Gomez and Blanco continue to share their love story with the world, it’s evident that they’re truly a match made in heaven, and the holidays have only made their bond stronger.
