Selena Gomez announced she is dropping a new album with her fiancé Benny Blanco next month.
The pop star, 32, revealed the news to her 421 Instagram followers on Thursday night with a slideshow of pictures taken with her husband-to-be, 36, which included shots of them in bed together and a sweet one of him kissing her cheek as she laid by his side.
‘I always trick you guys my NEW album I Said I Love You First with my best friend @itsbennyblanco, is out on 3/21,’ she captioned the post.
The Grammy nominee continued: ‘Our first song, Scared of Loving You is out now on all streaming platforms. Merchandise and signed products for the album are available for pre-order now. We can’t wait to share this special project with you soon!’
Underneath the post, Blanco commented: ‘i love you baby.’
Previously, the couple collaborated on her single, Single Soon, which came out in 2023, and her track, I Can’t Get Enough, off her last album Rare came in 2020.

Gomez’s surprise may have caught some of her fans off guard as she recently teased that was ‘a little bit too old for the pop star life’ and has been taking on more acting gigs.
During a December chat with Saoirse Ronan for Variety’s Actors on Actors series, Selena opened up about her career in entertainment.
She noted, ‘I definitely think my strong suit is probably acting. But one thing I’m proud of in music is being able to tell a story — my favorite songs are mostly ballads, and they’re very transparent and honest.’
The Only Murders In The Building sensation added, ‘But I think I might be a little too old for the pop-star life.
‘I’m genuinely so happy to just be in this new era of my life, because in a lot of ways, it’s just the beginning.’
Gomez has been dating Blanco since June 2023, though she did not confirm the relationship until that December.
At the time, she used Instagram to confirm to fans that she’d been secretly dating the hitmaker for six months and that he was her ‘absolute everything.’
Previously, the Wolves songstress dated The Weeknd, Zedd, Nick Jonas, Taylor Lautner and was linked to a number of other stars, including Zayn Malik and The Chainsmokers’ Andrew Taggart.

She also famously had an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber, 30, that spanned eight years, before they called it quits in 2018. He is now married to model Hailey Bieber, 28, and they welcomed a baby son in August.
Before getting romantic, Gomez and Blanco were friends for over a decade and even worked on music together.
Last year, the music producer revealed that it was Gomez who made the first move.
‘She asked me out. It was crazy, it was crazy. She literally asked me… like we were just talking, and then she said, “You wanna get dinner?” And I went to the dinner, and I had no idea,’ he explained on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream.

Blanco claimed he wasn’t ‘nervous’ because he already knew Gomez on a personal and professional level.
‘No [I wasn’t nervous], ’cause I’ve been friends with her for years. We’ve been friends for like 10 years plus, maybe 15,’ he told Cenat.
Blanco said he and Gomez got drinks but that he didn’t immediately realize that he and the Rare Beauty founder were on a date.
‘I didn’t even realize we were on a date. And she was like, “I would’ve worn something different to this date.” And I was like, “Wait, what? We’re on a date?” I had no idea. No idea we were on a date,’ he said.
‘She left early because she had to go somewhere to film a video the next day, and then we hung out like two days later, and then I was like, “Yo, I think she likes me.” And then I literally just kissed her, and the rest is history.’
He went on to call Gomez his ‘best friend.’
