Actress, singer and Rare Beauty founder Selena Gomez said “I Do” to music producer Benny Blanco in Santa Barbara, California on Sept. 27, blending old Hollywood romance with coastal California ease. The couple has been together for almost two years, but has known each other for nearly a decade. Blanco produced two of Gomez’s hits in 2015 and 2016.
The couple made their engagement public in December 2024, just one year after dating. Blanco thoughtfully created Gomez’s engagement ring by working with two jewelers to create a lifelong dream for the famous Disney star.
Gomez’s ring is a marquise-cut diamond with vintage sparkle and a raised setting. This design allows the engagement ring and wedding band to nest perfectly together, a symbolic reflection of the couple’s perfect creative harmony.
Their wedding consisted of a three-day-long celebration with many familiar faces and family. Guests who attended include Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Gomez’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” co-star David Henrie and Paris Hilton. Rather than a high-profile production, the festivities were filled with warmth, music and a few playful surprises.
The ceremony took place at a private vineyard called Sea Crest Nursery. TMZ captured photos of the venue, which is nestled in vast greenery and white tents for privacy.
Gomez’s small bouquet consisted of lily-of-the-valley flowers as she walked down the aisle in a Ralph Lauren gown. This silk gown featured embroidered florals floating throughout the tulle. Her veil, long and light, caught the soft glow of the late-afternoon sun. Gomez also wore stunning accessories like her Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings.
On the big day, Blanco wore a black three-piece suit from Ralph Lauren as well. Details in the outfit provided a mature and sophisticated style. Sewn-in cufflinks and studs can be seen in the couple’s wedding photos on social media.
At the couple’s reception, guests enjoyed a champagne toast with their single-tiered heart-shaped cake. Guests had a wide variety of food, such as a Nobu sushi bar, steaks and BBQ.
Fans came together to support the couple’s marriage, as many created edits of their wedding photos on TikTok. Frans praised her for her aesthetic and taste, noting many of their details will be added to mood boards. On Instagram, fans congratulated the newly married couple and marveled at the friendships Gomez holds close.
The night ended with authenticity for the two lovebirds. As most of their lives have been spent in the public eye, love found them in the quiet moments: in laughter, in music and in shared dreams. September now officially marks a new fairytale for the two.
