Selena Gomez, the multi-talented singer and actress, has ignited a flurry of speculation about her relationship status with music producer Benny Blanco after she was spotted concealing her left hand from paparazzi. The sighting at Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday has only added fuel to the rumors that Gomez and Blanco may have taken their relationship to the next level.

Upon her arrival at LAX, Gomez, known for her roles in "Only Murders in the Building" and her successful music career, was seen dressed in a casual outfit, consisting of a long-sleeve hoodie, gray sweatpants, and black flats. Her hair was styled in a high bun, and she wore a large set of headphones, seemingly to keep a low profile. However, what caught the attention of onlookers was her deliberate attempt to keep her left hand out of sight. Gomez carried a water bottle close to her chest with her left arm, effectively shielding her hand from the cameras.

This public appearance comes just days after Gomez, 31, sparked engagement rumors with a photo she shared on her Instagram Stories. The image, which featured Gomez in a sparkly champagne-colored dress taking a mirror selfie, showed Blanco with his back turned, looking at himself in the mirror behind her. The post was simply captioned "A night out," but what really set tongues wagging was the fact that Gomez strategically placed pink heart emojis over her ring finger, leading many fans to speculate that she might be hiding an engagement ring.

The buzz around the potential engagement grew even louder when Deuxmoi, a popular celebrity gossip outlet on Instagram, shared a blind item earlier this month that seemed to allude to Gomez and Blanco getting engaged. The blind item stated, "This A-list actress/semi-retired singer got engaged over the weekend to her bf of a year recently surrounded by friends at their usual beach house hang out." While the post did not name Gomez directly, fans quickly connected the dots, especially given the timing and the couple’s history.

Although neither Gomez nor Blanco has publicly addressed the engagement rumors, sources close to the actress have reportedly confirmed her deep feelings for the music producer. According to Us Weekly, a source revealed that Gomez has told friends that she has "found the love of my life" in Blanco, and added, "She’s ready to settle down."

Gomez and Blanco, both prominent figures in the entertainment industry, have kept much of their relationship private since they began dating. The couple first confirmed their romance in December 2023, and since then, they have been spotted together on multiple occasions, though they have maintained a relatively low profile compared to other celebrity couples.

Gomez’s decision to keep her relationship under wraps is consistent with her approach to her personal life in recent years. Following highly publicized relationships with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd, Gomez has chosen to be more discreet about her romantic life, focusing instead on her career and personal growth. Her relationship with Blanco, however, seems to be an exception, as those close to her have noted her happiness and contentment.

As fans eagerly await any confirmation of an engagement, Gomez’s recent actions have only intensified the speculation. Whether she is simply enjoying her privacy or preparing to make a major life announcement, one thing is clear: Selena Gomez has mastered the art of keeping the public guessing.
