Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco packed on the PDA in a sweet holiday photo uploaded to her main Instagram page on Friday - just two weeks after their engagement.
The Wolves songstress, 32 - who recently flashed her $1 million diamond ring with the record producer - could be seen cuddling up to Blanco, 36, as they sat next to each other on a comfy chair.
Earlier this month on December 11, the actress announced that Benny had popped the big question to her after a year and a half of dating.
In the adorable snap, Gomez embraced the festive season wearing a gray onesie that contained snowflake patterns on the soft material.
She additionally slipped into a pair of red-printed socks and added a white knit beanie on top of her brunette locks that flowed down naturally.
The star sported a pair of silver-hooped earrings and flaunted the 8-carat, marquise-cut engagement ring as she placed her left hand on the side of Blanco's face.

Blanco also kept it casual while donning a cream-colored sweater as well as a pair of white trousers.
The lovebirds were pictured sharing a kiss as they cozied up to each other while having a blast during Christmas.
In the caption of the latest post, Selena penned to her 423 million followers, 'Hope everyone had a lovely holiday!'
On Friday, she also took to her Instagram stories as she snapped a mirror selfie to further show off the ring while holding a glittering, red purse.
While wearing the same outfit, the Only Murders In The Building star recently uploaded a clip to her stories while singing Christmas carols with Blanco by her side.
As they cozied up on the chair, the pair belted out lyrics to the track Winter Wonderland as the Rare Beauty founder also held a teddy bear in her left hand - prompting her to flash the diamond ring once again.
Blanco filmed the reel with a phone camera and she later shared a picture of herself sitting in a restaurant while sipping on a tasty holiday-inspired cocktail.
Two weeks earlier, the former Disney channel star revealed that Benny had proposed to her during a romantic picnic on a set.

She posted a series of snaps to her main Instagram page that had captured the special moment.
In one image, the star only showed her left hand to give her 423 million fans and followers a close-up glimpse of the eye-catching diamond ring.
Jeweler Laura Taylor told MailOnline, '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.'
Taylor added, '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 pavé band, with its continuous row of smaller diamonds set closely together, adds an extra layer of sparkle and luxury, beautifully complementing the central marquise diamond.'
'This setting maximizes the brilliance of the overall design while maintaining a sense of sophistication.
'The central diamond is likely of exceptional quality, with VVS1 clarity and colorless grading in the D-F range. I would estimate the ring to be worth upwards of £800,000 ($1 million), depending on the precise diamond specifications.'

The engagement also pays homage to Selena's hit 2015 track titled, Good For You, where she notably sings the lyrics: 'I'm on my marquise diamonds / I'm a marquise diamond / Could even make that Tiffany jealous.'
Another picture was taken as Selena sat on a blanket that was placed over a patch of fake grass.
A picnic basket as well as a Taco Bell box could be seen nearby as the actress happily glanced down at the ring on her finger.
Benny placed a loving kiss on the side of the singer's face as they paused for an adorable snap together.
Lastly, she snapped a selfie while flashing the diamond ring and penned in the caption of the post, 'forever begins now..'
Since the big milestone, Gomez has kept her fans updated by sharing a variety of snaps as she excitedly showcased the diamond sparkler.
A few days before Christmas, the actress took a picture of her hand as the ring dazzled underneath the bright sunshine.
She seemingly took the photo while relaxing in a spacious backyard and wrote to her fans, 'Sorry last post... I've just dreamed of this moment my whole life.'

And while plugging her Rare Beauty brand as she glammed up in a short video, she also flashed the engagement ring.
Blanco also shared a short clip to his own Instagram page to share a special moment from the proposal.
He filmed the actress during the romantic picnic as they cheered glasses of champagne only moments after he had popped the big question.
The couple's romance was confirmed nearly one year earlier in December of last year - but the pair had already been dating for six months at the time.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Selena discussed her budding romance with Blanco.
'This is the safest I've ever felt in [a relationship], and I see a future with this person. And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down.'

'This is the safest I've ever felt in [a relationship], and I see a future with this person. And when you put a little bit out there, people are not as hungry to hunt you down,' she said
The singer then explained that there are aspects of their relationship that fans 'don't see' as the couple keep their romance mainly out of the public eye.
As the year winds down to a close, Selena reached another milestone after garnering two Golden Globe nominations this month.
She was nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture category based on her role in Emilia Perez.
The former Disney channel star was also nominated for her role in the Hulu series, Only Murders In The Building.
