Selena Gomez has officially stepped into her next chapter, exchanging vows with longtime love Benny Blanco in an intimate California ceremony that blended Hollywood glamour with heartfelt simplicity. The power couple, who confirmed their romance just two years ago, said “I do” on September 27, 2025, in Santa Barbara, surrounded by 170 of their closest friends and family—including heavy hitters like Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. Gomez, radiant in a custom lace Ralph Lauren gown that hugged her figure like a second skin, shared the first glimpses of their big day on Instagram, captioning a carousel of sun-kissed shots: “9.27.25.” Blanco, ever the charmer, followed suit with his own post, declaring, “I married a real life Disney princess.”
Their love story reads like a modern fairy tale with a pop soundtrack. The pair first crossed paths professionally in 2015, when Blanco produced Gomez’s chart-topping single “Same Old Love” from her Revival album. Sparks flew quietly behind the scenes, but it wasn’t until 2019’s collaborative track “I Can’t Get Enough”—featuring J Balvin and Tainy, complete with Blanco’s teddy bear dance moves in the video—that fans sensed something more. Fast-forward to December 2023: Gomez went public amid swirling rumors, defending her producer beau in fiery Instagram comments and sharing cozy couple snaps that melted the internet.
By March 2025, they dropped their joint album I Said I Love You First, a sultry blend of R&B confessions and electronic beats that debuted at No. 1 on Billboard. Gomez gushed about Blanco on Jay Shetty’s podcast, calling him her “best friend” and crediting his unwavering gaze for melting her guarded heart after high-profile splits with Justin Bieber and The Weeknd. “When Benny looks at me, he doesn’t see anything but who I am,” she revealed. Blanco, for his part, has been the ultimate hype man, whipping up homemade cheesesteak hot pockets for her TikTok fame and praising her unapologetic path in interviews.
The proposal? Pure Selena whimsy. On December 12, 2024—exactly one year after going Instagram official—Blanco popped the question during a Taco Bell-fueled picnic, her ultimate guilty pleasure. Gomez unveiled the moment with a flurry of photos: blankets, Baja Blasts, and a stunning 6-carat marquise-cut diamond ring with a pavé band that she helped design. “Forever begins now,” she captioned the post, flashing the sparkler that quickly trended as the “it” band of the season. Blanco chimed in cheekily: “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
Wedding whispers built for months, fueled by a leaked guest list and menu that reportedly left the couple fuming and scrambling for last-minute tweaks. But the real magic unfolded under Santa Barbara’s golden light. Gomez stunned in her ethereal Ralph Lauren creation for the vows, later switching to a sleek reception look that had Swift and her holding hands in one of Blanco’s shared snaps. The Only Murders in the Building star’s co-stars Martin and Short delivered toasts that had everyone in stitches, while Swift’s emotional speech—sans any Kelce engagement jabs, as she clarified on The Tonight Show—left Gomez in happy tears. Post-ceremony, Blanco dropped more exclusives: a candid of the bride mid-laugh, flower arches framing ocean views, and even a playful nod to their musical roots with a first-dance remix of their hit collab.
For Gomez, 33, this union caps a banner year: her Emmy-nominated turn in Emilia Pérez earned Oscar buzz, Rare Beauty hit $500 million in sales, and she’s teasing a Wizards of Waverly Place reboot. Blanco, 37, continues shaping pop’s soundscape, fresh off producing Katy Perry’s latest. Yet amid the glitz, insiders say it’s the quiet moments—like Blanco’s endless cooking vids or Gomez’s late-night songwriting sessions—that ground them.
As confetti settles and honeymoon plans (Vegas for him, Cabo for her, sources tease) take shape, one thing’s clear: Selena and Benny aren’t just collaborators—they’re endgame. In a town built on fleeting flings, their forever feels refreshingly real, proving love can remix heartbreak into harmony.
