Even Gordon Ramsay weighed in, sharing a nod to both Benny and Selena’s culinary prowess with the words, “Congratulations to you both it must be all that cooking.”

And not to be left out was Selena’s BFF Taylor Swift, who already had a suggestion on how she could be involved in the Wizards of Waverly Place’s alum’s future big day.

“Yes,” Taylor—who is fresh off her Eras Tour—wrote. “I will be the flower girl.”

Benny and Selena’s engagement comes after just over a year of dating, though they’ve known each other for almost two decades and even collaborated on the song “I Can’t Get Enough” years before their relationship took a turn for the romantic.

“We both met each other like almost 16, 17 years ago,” Benny, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, recalled in an April interview with SiriusXM Hits 1. “Obviously, we made a bunch of songs together. But before we had made any music together, I was one of her big meetings—like right around when she was just leaving Disney to make her own music."

The music producer has also been candid about the transition period from being just friends to something more—and the fact he hadn’t quite clocked the change.

"It was so crazy," Benny told Howard Stern in May, "when we went out on our first date, I didn't even know it was a date. She was like, 'Hey, you want to hang out?' And I was like, 'Yeah.'"

"I remember we were talking," he continued, "and she's such a forward person and she's like the coolest, the nicest, the sweetest, everything. And I remember sitting there and she's like, 'Well I would've worn something different for this date.' And I was like, 'What? We're on a date?'"

But in the time since, the 36-year-old has shared how he and Selena share an inseparable bond—and now they have forever together.

As he commented on her post, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
