The record producer, 36, took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 18, to relive his proposal to actress and singer Selena Gomez. Resharing Gomez’s December 11 Instagram post announcing their engagement, he wrote, “Still can’t believe it!”

She captioned the post, “Forever begins now.” The pictures show the Golden Globe nominee showing off her marquise diamond engagement ring and cuddling up to Blanco. Another snap shows the scene for the proposal — a cute picnic set-up with Gomez sitting on a blanket surrounded by snacks from Taco Bell.
Blanco wrote in the comments section, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
