Singer-actor Selena Gomez and hitmaker Benny Blanco exchanged vows in Santa Barbara, on 27th marking a new chapter for one of pop culture’s most anticipated unions.
The wedding took place at Sea Crest Nursery, an ocean-front venue tucked along California’s coast, where close family and about 170 guests gathered. The weekend celebration included a rehearsal dinner the night before at the Hope Ranch estate, setting the tone for what sources describe as a heartfelt and genuine event.
Gomez walked down the aisle in a custom Ralph Lauren gown: halter neckline, delicate floral lace, and an elegant open back. Blanco matched her in classic Ralph Lauren formalwear — a tuxedo and bowtie — completing a cohesive bridal aesthetic that leaned modern yet timeless.
Shortly after the ceremony, Gomez shared the first official wedding photographs on Instagram, captioning them simply: “9.27.25.” Blanco commented beneath: “My wife in real life.” The posts exploded across social media in minutes, with fans and celebrities alike flooding comments and hashtags.
In attendance were longtime friends, collaborators and fellow industry figures. Taylor Swift, Selena’s close confidante, appeared among the guests. Her Only Murders in the Building castmates — Steve Martin and Martin Short — were also seen in attendance. Other familiar faces included Paris Hilton, Paul Rudd, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, and David Henrie, Selena’s former co-star from Wizards of Waverly Place.
Their romance began quietly in late 2023, with Selena sharing cozy snapshots that had fans buzzing. By December 2024, Blanco had popped the question, and suddenly the couple who seemed worlds apart had become one of Hollywood’s most adored duos.
Selena herself has been vocal about the steadiness Benny brings to her life. Earlier this year, she told Elle: “He’s the most genuine person I know. He makes me laugh every day and keeps me grounded when things get overwhelming.”
Though the couple hasn’t yet confirmed honeymoon plans, insiders say they are planning a quiet getaway before diving back into their busy professional worlds. Lopez is expected to promote new music and continue her work with Rare Beauty, and Blanco remains in high demand as a producer.
