    When Will Selena Gomez And Benny Blanco Get Married?

    For those who don’t know, Selena and Benny crossed paths years before they started dating. They collaborated on her song “I Can’t Get Enough,” which also featured J Balvin and Tainy. However, years later, in 2023, they started dating each other, and within a year, they decided to take the next step and got engaged in December 2024. Scroll ahead to know more about their wedding plans.

    Before releasing their album I Said I Love You First, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco sat for a Zoom interview with Rolling Stone, and talked about a lot of things, including their engagement and future wedding plans. While discussing their marriage, the duo mentioned that they want to have a foolproof plan and don’t want to rush into things just because they are now engaged. The record producer said, “I think every day she’s planned a new wedding in her head.” He continued, “We’re very much ‘take it one day at a time’- type of people. We’re still not over this moment.” While explaining the engagement phase, he added, “Literally, while you were talking, she was sitting there staring at her ring.”

  • Jennifer Lopez’s AMA Performance Backfires as Fans Slam “Desperate” Post-Divorce Stunt

    Jennifer Lopez’s highly anticipated hosting gig at the 2025 American Music Awards took an awkward turn when her attempt to flaunt her post-divorce freedom left viewers cringing instead of cheering.

    The Controversial Moment

    During her explosive opening performance—a medley of hits including Billie Eilish’s “Birds of a Feather” and Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”—J.Lo locked lips with multiple backup dancers, a move widely interpreted as a dig at ex-husband Ben Affleck. The couple’s divorce was finalized in January 2025, but fans weren’t buying Lopez’s “carefree” act.

    Social Media Backlash

    Viewers flooded X (formerly Twitter) with criticism:

    • “Embarrassing. This isn’t 2003.”
    • “Desperate for headlines much?”
    • “Madonna and Britney did it better—22 years ago.”

    The consensus? The stunt felt like a forced attempt to stay relevant rather than a genuine celebration of independence.

    Lopez’s “New Chapter” Narrative

    Despite the backlash, Lopez doubled down on her “free and happy” era in a pre-show interview with People, teasing her upcoming “Up All Night Live” tour:
    “Everything in my life feels healthy and good right now. I just want to make people sing, dance, and have a good time.”

    Affleck’s Post-Split Happiness

    Meanwhile, Affleck appears to be thriving post-divorce. A March 2025 Page Six source revealed the actor is “happier than he’s been in years,” frequently spending time with ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their three kids. Fans joked he should “avoid dating anyone named Jennifer” and maybe “take notes from J.Lo’s playbook”—though hopefully with less cringe.

    The Takeaway

    While Lopez aims to reclaim her single-girl persona, the AMAs proved that audiences prefer authenticity over orchestrated drama. Sometimes, less is more—especially when your ex is winning the breakup narrative.

  • Bangladesh’s Konika Shines at Miss World 2025 with Authenticity and Purpose

    In a refreshing departure from typical pageant narratives, Aklima Atika Konika’s journey to the Miss World 2025 stage was anything but conventional. With just one week to prepare, the Bangladeshi beauty queen brought raw authenticity to the global platform, proving that real charm needs no rehearsal.

    A Moment of National Pride

    “Seeing ‘Bangladesh’ under my name during the opening ceremony was surreal,” Konika shared with Star Lifestyle. “That flag in my hands transformed me from just Konika into a representative of 170 million people.” The emotional weight of her role was palpable as she described the overwhelming support from her team and fellow Bangladeshis worldwide.

    Roots Before Crowns

    When asked about her guiding principles, Konika’s answer was unequivocal: “Staying true to my Bengali identity. My confidence comes from wearing a saree with pride, not conforming to Western standards.” She credits her support system—including mentor Azra Mahmood (AMTC), Dr. Nilufar Islam (MBIT), and Miss International Bangladesh 2024 Efa Tabassum (who lent her wardrobe)—for keeping her grounded.

    “Young Minds Matter”: A Mission Beyond the Stage

    Aligned with Miss World’s “Beauty With a Purpose” ethos, Konika champions mental health awareness for neurodivergent children through her initiative. “These kids often internalize societal labels as personal failures,” she explained. “I want to break that cycle by fostering understanding early on.”

    No Empty Promises

    Unlike many pageant contestants, Konika resists grand declarations. “Life evolves, and so will my approach,” she admitted. “But this cause isn’t tied to a title—it’s a lifelong commitment. Even small actions create ripples.”

    Embracing the Unplanned

    Once an aspiring software engineer, Konika now welcomes life’s detours. “COVID taught me to release rigid plans,” she laughed. While modeling has grown on her, she remains open to new opportunities: “The best adventures begin with ‘I never expected this!’”

    Wisdom for Future Queens

    Her advice to aspirants cuts through the glitter:

    1. Clarify your “why” – Is it for fame or impact?
    2. Cultivate the persona now – Don’t wait for a crown to act like a leader.
    3. Choose a cause that burns in your heart – Authenticity outshines rehearsed answers.

    “Miss World isn’t about perfection,” Konika concluded. “It’s about showing up as your whole self—flaws, saree pleats, and all. Whether I win or not, I hope my journey makes the path easier for the next Bangladeshi girl dreaming big.”
