Selena Gomez Hits Red Carpet With No Ring Amid Benny Blanco Engagement Rumors

Selena Gomez is so sick of those same old Benny Blanco engagement rumors.

The Only Murders in the Building star seemingly shut down the speculation when she was spotted with a ring notably absent on that finger while stepping out for the Aug. 22 premiere of the Hulu comedy series' fourth season in Los Angeles. 

However, Selena did top off her black mini-dress and oversized blazer with some bling, posing with rings on her middle fingers while taking pics alongside costars Steve Martin, Meryl Streep and Martin Short.

Speculation about whether Benny and Selena had gotten engaged after over a year of dating began when the "Hands to Myself" singer shared a mirror selfie that had a strategically placed heart emoji placed over one of her hands. 

The Aug. 8 snap showed Selena rocking a champagne-colored slip dress as her producer boyfriend stood in the background, but further confused fans since it was posted to her Instagram Stories alongside several other pics where she wasn't sporting any rings on her fingers.

And while neither Selena or Benny has addressed the rumor mill directly, Benny previously admitted that tying the knot with the Disney alum has crossed his mind. 

After Howard Stern said he was "predicting marriage” for the pair’s romance during the producer's May interview on The Howard Stern Show, Blanco replied simply, “You and me both.”

And that's not his only goal when it comes to his relationship with Selena. Benny revealed that he hopes to grow their family eventually as well. 

"I've got a lotta god kids, I've got a ton of nephews," the 36-year-old said. "It's my thing. I love being around kids."

As for Selena? She definitely doesn't anticipate being single soon. As the actress put it to Time in May, “I just cherish every moment with him."

She added, "I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that he's not going anywhere any time soon."
