In a delightful turn of events, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have tied the knot! This exciting news comes after the couple got engaged in December 2024, following a year of romance. Today, they exchanged vows in a picturesque ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California.
The wedding festivities began with a charming rehearsal dinner on Friday night at a stunning mansion located in the exclusive Hope Ranch community, which is beautifully set against the backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains.
The actual wedding ceremony took place at the vibrant Sea Crest Nursery, where approximately 170 of their closest family and friends gathered to witness the couple’s union, all while enjoying heightened security for the occasion. To accommodate the celebration, large white tents were set up, providing ample space for dining, dancing, and merriment throughout the evening.
Among the notable guests were Gomez’s dear friend Taylor Swift, actor Paul Rudd, and her co-stars from "Only Murders in the Building," Martin Short and Steve Martin. Other attendees included Paris Hilton, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, and David Henrie, who starred alongside Gomez in "Wizards of Waverly Place." In a previous appearance on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Gomez hinted that Martin Short was expected to deliver a speech, while Steve Martin might entertain the crowd with his banjo—though this remains unconfirmed.
For her special day, Gomez chose a stunning custom-made satin dress featuring a halter neck and intricate embroidery, complemented by a bouquet of delicate lily of the valley. Meanwhile, Blanco looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo, both outfits designed by the renowned Ralph Lauren.
The couple first made their relationship public in December 2023, but their professional paths have intertwined for years. Blanco has been behind the scenes producing several of Gomez’s hits, including "Same Old Love" and "Kill Em with Kindness" in 2015, as well as "Trust Nobody" in 2016. Their collaboration continued with the 2019 track "I Can’t Get Enough," featuring J Balvin and Tainy, and Blanco also produced Gomez’s recent single "Single Soon." Earlier this year, they released a collaborative album titled "I Said I Love You First," followed by a deluxe edition, "I Said I Love You First... and You Said It Back."
The announcement of their engagement, along with the reveal of Gomez’s stunning marquise engagement ring, has sparked a trend in marquise-shaped rings, with her ring boasting a six-carat diamond set on a pavé band. Just before the wedding, Gomez celebrated her bachelorette party in Cabo, Mexico, with her closest friends, while Blanco enjoyed a getaway in Las Vegas.
Cheers to the newlyweds! May their journey together be filled with love and happiness.
