'Dreamed of This': Selena Gomez Shows Off Benny Blanco Ring After Fans Criticize It
Selena Gomez has taken to Instagram* to show she's enjoying her engagement ring and her status as a bride, amid online speculation about the cost of the piece.
"Sorry, this will be the last post... I've been dreaming about this moment my whole life," the singer captioned a video where she admires the ring on her finger in the sun.
On December 12, 32-year-old Gomez announced that she was marrying her chosen one, music producer Benny Blanco, showing off her engagement ring. The press estimated that the jewelry could cost up to $1 million.
At the same time, its price may be much lower, as reported by the Telegram channel Jewellery Digest. Experts believe that for a celebrity of Selena's stature, the ring is quite modest due to its not-so-expensive marquise cut. At the same time, they noted that Blanco did not name the brand of the ring on social media, and concluded that he bought the diamond not by barter, but at full price. Commentators also linked the musician's choice to the lines from Selena's song, in which she sings: "I'm in my marquise diamonds."
At the same time, Selena's choice is also criticized - not everyone likes her chosen one Benny Blanco, who is considered uneven to the star on social networks. Due to constant criticism, the couple already anticipates possible conflicts in advance. For example, they announced their engagement later, since at that time Gomez's ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber had his first child and the singer did not want people to think that they were shifting attention to themselves.
