“NOOOOOOOOO” a night owl texted me around 1 o’clock in the morning on Thursday. With one post on Instagram, timed perfectly to the right side of her every-27-days-social media break, Selena Gomez announced that she and Benny Blanco were engaged. “forever begins now..,” Gomez captioned the post. “hey wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco (real name Benjamin Joseph Levin) commented. There was a Taco Bell picnic involved.
