Selena Gomez is preparing to tie the knot with songwriter and producer Benny Blanco this Saturday, September 27, in Santa Barbara, California. The event is expected to draw several Hollywood stars, making it one of the most high-profile weddings of the year.
Gomez and Blanco confirmed their relationship toward the end of 2023. Their romance quickly gained public attention, with fans embracing the couple’s frequent social media updates and red-carpet appearances. In December 2024, the pair announced their engagement, with Gomez sharing a glimpse of her diamond ring on Instagram.
Since then, the couple has been open about their bond, often offering followers candid insights into their personal lives.
Who Is Benny Blanco?
Benny Blanco, born Benjamin Joseph Levin on March 8, 1988, in Virginia, is a songwriter, record producer, and musician. He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Khalid, Halsey, Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Maroon 5.
Blanco’s songwriting and production credits include several global hits such as Love Yourself by Justin Bieber, Eastside featuring Halsey and Khalid, Roses by Katy Perry, and Señorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello. Alongside his work for others, he has also released music as a solo artist.
Wedding Preparations
While Gomez and Blanco have kept wedding details private, reports suggest the ceremony will take place at a Montecito estate in Santa Barbara County. According to TMZ, guests have already started arriving at the venue.
While the wedding is expected to be elegant and full of love, a source told Entertainment Tonight that Selena and Benny don’t want their big day to be about over-the-top glamour. “Selena and Benny are set to get married on Saturday. They want their wedding to feel relaxed and meaningful, and enjoy the moment with their closest family and friends.”
According to an insider, the pair is over the moon to start their lives as a married couple. “They’re not hiding their love or happiness. The wedding will be a true reflection of that. Both are excited to begin this new chapter together,” said a source. The event will still have a touch of Hollywood sparkle, as many well-known celebrities in the industry, who are close friends of Selena and Benny, are expected to attend.
One sweet detail about the wedding is that the Only Murders in the Building star’s bridesmaids will reportedly include her “core group of longtime girlfriends.” These are Selena’s galpals who have stood by her side through various ups and downs in her life.
