Selena Gomez Marries Benny Blanco in a Star-Studded Santa Barbara Ceremony

Congratulations are officially in order: Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are married! The couple, who got engaged in December 2024 after a year of dating, tied the knot this weekend in a romantic and star-studded ceremony in Santa Barbara, California.

Selena, the pop superstar and Rare Beauty founder, stunned in a custom hand-draped Ralph Lauren halter-neck satin gown embroidered with delicate details. She carried a petite bouquet of lily of the valley, while her groom, acclaimed record producer Benny Blanco, looked timeless in a classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo. Selena completed her look with platinum-and-diamond Tiffany & Co. earrings, adding just the right amount of sparkle.

The wedding photos, captured by Petra Collins, one of Selena’s closest friends and longtime collaborators, revealed the intricate details of the dress, from its wrapped low back to the flowing silk skirt and long train. The hourglass silhouette was classic yet modern, echoing Selena’s effortless elegance. Styled by Erin Walsh, the bride’s gown is already being hailed as one of her best fashion moments yet.

The wedding wasn’t just a single-day affair—it kicked off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday evening at a mansion in Hope Ranch, Santa Barbara County, with the stunning Santa Ynez Mountains as the backdrop. Guests dined under candlelight in a relaxed, intimate setting before the big day.

The ceremony itself was held at the lush Sea Crest Nursery, transformed into a dreamy venue with white tents, cascading flowers, and romantic lighting for nearly 170 guests. Security was tight to ensure the privacy of the star couple, but details have since surfaced of a night filled with laughter, dancing, and heartfelt speeches.

The wedding guest list was nothing short of spectacular. Selena’s longtime best friend Taylor Swift was in attendance, along with A-list names like Paris Hilton, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park, and David Henrie (her Wizards of Waverly Place co-star). Her Only Murders in the Building castmates Martin Short and Steve Martin also made appearances, with Selena previously teasing that Short might give a heartfelt speech and Martin could even pull out his banjo for an impromptu performance.

The celebration brought together family, friends, and collaborators who have been central to both Selena and Benny’s personal and professional lives.

Though the couple only confirmed their romance publicly in December 2023, their creative connection goes back years. Blanco produced some of Selena’s biggest hits, including Same Old Love and Kill Em with Kindness in 2015 and Trust Nobody in 2016. In 2019, they joined forces with J Balvin and Tainy on I Can’t Get Enough, and more recently, Benny produced Selena’s 2023 single Single Soon.

In 2025, their collaboration grew into something even more personal, with the release of their joint album I Said I Love You First, later followed by a deluxe version …And You Said It Back. Their partnership has always been rooted in creativity, but their romance has turned their professional synergy into a full-fledged love story.

Selena and Benny’s engagement made headlines not just for their love story but also for her breathtaking six-carat marquise-shaped diamond engagement ring with a pavé band. The ring quickly sparked a trend in bridal jewellery, with searches for marquise rings skyrocketing after its reveal.

Before the wedding, Selena celebrated her bachelorette with a girls’ trip to Cabo, while Benny enjoyed a bachelor’s getaway in Las Vegas. Both celebrated in style, surrounded by close friends.

The Santa Barbara ceremony sealed their story with elegance, love, and a touch of Hollywood magic. Fans everywhere have been quick to send congratulations to the couple, flooding social media with messages of joy and admiration. For Selena and Benny, this marks the beginning of forever—an exciting new chapter for two people who turned years of music-making into a life-making partnership.
