Selena Gomez Ties the Knot with Benny Blanco in Star-Studded Santa Barbara Celebration

Selena Gomez has officially married Benny Blanco in a romantic ceremony attended by A-list guests.

The couple exchanged vows in Santa Barbara, California, which was revealed earlier this month as their chosen wedding destination.

Selena confirmed the news by sharing heartfelt wedding photos on Instagram, captioning them simply, “9.27.25.”

The images featured the singer in a stunning satin wedding gown.

Selena and Benny celebrated with their guests at the luxury El Encanto Hotel in Santa Barbara, holding the ceremony at a nearby private residence.

For the special day, both the bride and groom wore outfits by Ralph Lauren.

According to reports, Selena’s close friend Taylor Swift attended the celebration, as well as her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Paul Rudd, Steve Martin and Martin Short.

HAPPY COUPLE

The couple announced their engagement in December 2024, with Selena showing off a stunning diamond ring on social media.

Benny, 37, proposed after weeks of speculation, sparked by Selena wearing her new ring at the Emmys red carpet.

Their engagement came more than a year after their romance began in June 2023.

Fans got a hint that the wedding was approaching when Selena, 33, shared Instagram photos from her bachelorette party in late August.

The Lose You to Love Me singer looked radiant in a white bikini and a short veil during the beach celebration.

Selena had already begun settling into life with music producer Benny Blanco, as it was reported in March that the couple took out a $20 million mortgage on their $35 million Beverly Hills mansion.

The luxurious home purchase came just before the release of their first joint album, I Said I Love You First, which dropped on March 21.

Initially, it seemed the wedding might be a while off. Benny, born Benjamin Joseph Levin, told Rolling Stone that they were taking their relationship “one day at a time,” enjoying their engagement without rushing to the altar.

He also expressed how certain he was about marrying Selena, describing his feelings for her as unlike anything he had ever experienced.

Before Selena, Benny had dated model Elsie Hewitt, while Selena herself has had several high-profile relationships, including with Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, Zedd, The Weeknd, and Justin Bieber. Her longest relationship was with Justin Bieber, with whom she dated on and off for eight years before splitting permanently in March 2018.

A year earlier, Selena told Miami’s Power 96.5 FM, “I’m the kind of girl that loves tremendously big. I just have always been that girl. I will give my heart and my soul to the person that I love. It’s just how I operate.”

Benny has openly discussed supporting Selena and earning her trust, especially considering her past heartbreaks, strengthening the foundation of their relationship.

“I’m aware of her strengths and her weaknesses, so I’ve tried to surround her with things that support her,” Benny said during a joint appearance with Selena on Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast earlier this year.

He also admitted that he nearly self-sabotaged their relationship in the beginning, reflecting, “I feel like it all happens for a reason. Maybe me doing that is what disarmed her enough.”
