Fans are losing it over a hidden detail in Selena Gomez‘s engagement ring – and brutally comparing it to rumored longtime foe Hailey Bieber‘s rock.
On Wednesday evening, Gomez announced that she was engaged to boyfriend Benny Blanco, as he proposed to her with a beautiful marquise-shaped diamond ring with a matching band, complete with a picnic where they ate Taco Bell.
‘Forever begins now..’ the former Wizards of Waverly Place star wrote in the caption of her Instagram post, which showed a series of sweet snaps from the day.
However, some fans are pointing out some intricate details about Gomez’s ring, as internet users compare it to Bieber’s rock.
The two have been rumored to be in a spat for years, after the pair seemingly started shading each other on social media – amid Hailey’s union with Gomez’s famous ex, Justin Bieber, 30.
On X, many have been speculating about the price of each ring nonstop, potentially drawing up some more trouble between the two women.
‘Initial reports are confirming that the engagement ring Justin Bieber purchased for Hailey Bieber costs four times as much as the one Benny Blanco bought for Selena Gomez,’ one user claimed, as they showed off pictures of both of the diamonds.
They estimated that Bieber’s ring was worth $265,000, while Gomez’s was priced at $70,000.

‘Selena doesn’t need overpriced gifts to feel important unlike Hailey whose husband had to go into debt for her ring. Selena made herself a billionaire mind you and she doesn’t need anyone to buy her expensive ring,’ one Selena fan wrote in response.
Another agreed, ‘We don’t care lol Benny did in one year of relationship what Justin couldn’t do in almost 10 years.’
‘Think Selena’s look better bc it’s the perfect size Hailey’s is too big,’ someone else admitted.
An X user typed, ‘Still Hailey win.’
‘Well Justin Bieber is Justin Bieber and idek who Billy Blanco is but he definitely hasn’t made as much as Justin,’ another claimed.
However, others called the accounts out for comparing the two.
‘I’m a belieber but I don’t think it’s necessary to compare this, let’s be happy for both of them that they are now happy and enjoying their life rather than starting the war over and over again,’ someone penned.
Another seconded, ‘My god! I don’t think the comparison is needed.’

‘As much as I love both Hailey and Selena, comparing prices for something as precious as an engagement ring is going too far..’ a third person agreed.
However, as reported by DailyMail.com, Gomez’s engagement ring is really worth an estimated £800,000 ($1 million), while Bieber’s 6-10 carat oval diamond, which she updated this summer, is estimated to cost $1.5 million, per Vogue.
Gomez’s new bling is suspected to be measured at 8 carats.
Laura Taylor, jeweler specializing in engagement and wedding rings at Lorel Diamonds told DailyMail.com: ‘Benny’s choice of engagement ring for Selena is an exquisite and timeless design, perfectly suited to her style.
‘The ring features an incredible marquise-cut diamond at its center, estimated to be around 8 carats, set on a yellow gold pavé band.
‘The marquise cut, with its elongated and pointed shape, is a statement choice, known for its brilliance and the way it elongates the finger, creating a striking and elegant look.’
The jewelry also appears to be a thoughtful nod to her 2015 hit song Good for You featuring A$AP Rocky.
The lyrics read: ‘I’m on my marquise diamonds / I’m a marquise diamond / Could even make that Tiffany jealous.’
However, others called the accounts out for comparing the two giant diamond rings to each other
‘This is not about this pitting between two women – it’s about the vile, disgusting hatred that can come from completely made-up and twisted, and perpetuated narratives, that can be really dangerous,’ Bieber said in 2023
Hailey continued: ‘I don’t like this whole idea of team this person and team this person – I want to be able to bring people together and I think that it was a really important moment for people to see that you can do that and it doesn’t have to be about this divisive nature,’
However, it’s no surprise that many are comparing the two stars’ diamonds, as they have been rumored to be at odds for years now.
But in June 2023, Bieber addressed the feud during an appearance on Bloomberg’s The Circuit with host Emily Chang.
Discussing the online promotion of her skincare line Rhode, Chang commented: ‘You’re going direct to your audience with this… the internet’s not always a nice place, it’s been kind of hard on you sometimes, hard on your marriage…’
Not shying away from the comment, Bieber replied: ‘There’s narratives that exist for me that really hurt my feelings and make me really upset.’
When Chang pressed on the ‘ongoing drama’ between Bieber and ‘another celebrity,’ the brunette model was keen to have her say.
‘I don’t think that this is about me, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez,’ she explained.
‘This is not about this pitting between two women – it’s about the vile, disgusting hatred that can come from completely made-up and twisted, and perpetuated narratives, that can be really dangerous.
‘And I think that it’s an opportunity to really stand for bringing people together and not being okay with the kind of division that it caused, because I’m not okay with [it].’
Hailey continued: ‘I don’t like this whole idea of team this person and team this person – I want to be able to bring people together and I think that it was a really important moment for people to see that you can do that and it doesn’t have to be about this divisive nature.’
Chang described it as a ‘frustrating old narrative’ because it was two women ‘being pitted against each other over a man.’
Bieber shrieked back: ‘Because of a guy! It’s awful! I hate it! I’ve hated it since the beginning and it goes back to being misunderstood.’
