Benny Blanco has shared an exciting revelation about the diamonds left over from the engagement ring he gave to Selena Gómez. According to the music producer, those diamonds will not go to waste, as they will be repurposed to create an elegant pair of earrings. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, provided details about this design process in a joint interview with Interview Magazine.

Blanco proposed marriage to the singer and actress with a ring that contains a marquise diamond, which seems to be inspired by the song “Good for You” by Gómez. In that song, the artist mentions this type of precious stone. “From the days of ‘Good for You’ —that was many years ago— that is the diamond I’ve always dreamed of,” expressed Selena during the interview.

The original design of the ring included baguette diamonds on the sides, but the singer requested their removal. “No quería algo tan grande,” explained Selena, adding that despite the modification, the discarded stones will not go to waste. “Vamos a hacer aretes para ella. Básicamente tiene tres anillos de boda,” noted Benny Blanco.
The musician also recalled how the process of choosing the perfect design for his fiancée was, humbly confessing: “Solo intenté no arruinarlo. Eso es todo lo que hice.”
Although Selena did not have specific requests about the ring, as the design progressed, her opinions changed. “He showed me designs and I always dropped little hints. I would say: ‘Yes, but if I ever made one, would you want it like this?’. And then she changed her mind halfway through the process,” Blanco recounted.
A relationship that complements both personally and creatively
In addition to talking about the ring, the couple also shared details about their relationship and how they enjoy planning their outfits for their dates. “Nos encanta arreglarnos para salir”, expresó Benny Blanco. “We dress up, go out, order fancy martinis. We like a theme.”
Although Benny enjoys helping his fiancée choose her clothes for special occasions, Selena clarified that she doesn’t allow him to interfere in her choice for important events. “Never for an actual date. I don’t care if he hates my outfit, I’m going to wear what I want,” stated the singer.
Since they confirmed their relationship in December 202
3, both have expressed how happy and comfortable they feel working together and enjoying time as a couple. Selena has said in several interviews that Benny inspires her both in her personal life and in her musical career.
