Benny Blanco shares proposal video with Selena Gomez amid violent fan backlash on his social media

Benny Blanco shared a cute behind-the-scenes video of his proposal to Selena Gomez.

The video was taken at the Taco Bell-infused picnic the couple hosted where the music producer, 36, proposed to star Emilia Perez, 32.

This comes amid fierce fan backlash over the engagement, after Blanco’s past behavior on social media came back to haunt him.

Blanco shared the video on her Instagram and TikTok accounts and cleverly set the video to Selena’s song Good for You.

The song features the lyrics “I’m a marquise diamond”, which is the stone cut of the Only Murders in the Building actress’ engagement ring.

The couple clinked glasses of champagne before the video showed Selena looking delighted.

Blanco’s video reveals the romantic picnic took place on a soundstage.

Selena first shared the news of her engagement on December 11, sharing a photo of her ring as well as several loved-up photos with her husband-to-be.

“Forever starts now,” she captioned the post.

The couple started dating in June 2023 after a decade of friendship. They met and worked together when Selena started making music.

It produced three of the singer’s biggest hits, including the 2021 track I Can’t Get Enough and 2015’s Same Old Love.

Blanco’s proposal featured Selena’s favorite food: Taco Bell. In fact, he played such a central role in the romantic moment that fans suspected the fast food chain sponsored the engagement event.

However, even though Taco Bell denied any corporate involvement, it extended its best wishes to the couple.

“We can hear the wedding bells now!” Taco Bell told Mashed in a statement. “We are honored to play even the smallest role in their love story, and especially during such a memorable moment.

Nothing says “yes” like Mexican pizza, to eternal love! »

Jeweler Laura Taylor told MailOnline: ‘The engagement ring Benny chose for Selena is an exquisite and timeless design, perfectly suited to her style.’

“The ring features an incredible marquise-cut diamond at its center, estimated at approximately 8 carats, set on a yellow gold pavé band.”

This isn’t the first time Taco Bell has been involved in a romantic moment in the couple’s relationship.

Earlier this year, Blanco said, “For Valentine’s Day, I bought her Taco Bell, made her movie nachos, found her favorite Texas pickles and fried them for her .”

And last month, Selena shared an image of Blanco via Instagram with the words: “Not only do you love me unconditionally…You always give me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza.”

Last month, Blanco revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream.

“She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me… like we were talking, and then she said, “Do you want to have dinner?” And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,” he said.

Blanco claimed he wasn’t “nervous” because he already knew Gomez personally and professionally.

“No (I wasn’t nervous), because I’ve been friends with her for years. We’ve been friends for about 10 years and maybe 15 years,” he told Cenat.

Blanco said he and Gomez had drinks, but he didn’t immediately realize he and the Rare Beauty founder were on a date.

“I didn’t even realize we were on a date. And she said to me, “I would have worn something different on this date.”

“And I was like, ‘Wait, what? We have a date?’ I had no idea. No idea we had a date,” he said.

“She left early because she had to go somewhere to film a video the next day, and then we hung out two days later, and then I was like, ‘Yo, I think she likes me . “And then I literally kissed her, and the rest is history.
