Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Tie the Knot in Romantic Ceremony After Nearly Two Decades of History

Get ready to swoon—Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially married! The pop star and producer said “I do” on September 27, a moment Gomez shared with fans on Instagram through joyful photos and videos of the couple beaming together outdoors.
For their special day, Gomez wore a stunning off-the-shoulder satin gown, while Blanco opted for a timeless black tux and bowtie.
Their wedding came nine months after Blanco, 37, proposed during a casual December picnic. Gomez, 33, shared the sweet moment on Instagram, showing off her marquise-cut diamond ring alongside a cozy picnic setup—complete with a wicker basket and Taco Bell. Her caption read, “Forever begins now…”
Though Gomez dove enthusiastically into wedding planning, even imagining new weddings daily according to Blanco’s March interview with Rolling Stone, the couple took a slow and steady approach. “We’re very much ‘one day at a time’ kind of people,” Blanco said. “She was literally staring at her ring the entire time you were talking.”
While planning their wedding, the couple also worked closely on their first joint album, I Said I Love You First, recorded entirely in their home studio. Gomez called it her most personal studio experience, explaining, “We did everything from home with people we love.”
The album reflects both of their personal stories, with songs that hold different meanings for each of them. As for the title? Gomez proudly admitted, “Yeah, guilty as charged—I said ‘I love you’ first.”
Their love story actually began nearly 17 years ago, long before they were romantically involved. Blanco recalled their first meeting during her transition from Disney star to solo artist, when he was one of her earliest collaborators. Over the years, they worked together on several songs, including her 2023 single Single Soon, which they started just before their romantic relationship began in July 2023. They went public with their relationship in December.
Interestingly, Blanco didn’t even realize their first outing was a date. “She was like, ‘I would’ve worn something different if I knew this was a date,’ and I was like, ‘Wait, this is a date?’” he told Howard Stern in May 2024.
Now, nearly two years later, the couple has made it official. “She’s truly my best friend,” Blanco shared. “We laugh all day long—she inspires me.” Gomez echoed the sentiment in a Time interview earlier that year, saying, “It just happens when you least expect it.”
