Selena Gomez has tied the knot with longtime friend and collaborator Benny Blanco, sharing the joyful news on Instagram with a photo of the couple kissing and embracing on a sunlit lawn. The Grammy- and Emmy-nominated star captioned the post with a simple but heartfelt reveal, while Blanco replied: “My wife in real life.”
Gomez stunned in a custom Ralph Lauren halter bridal gown adorned with floral details, while Blanco wore a tuxedo and bow tie by the same designer. Paparazzi had earlier captured images of a large outdoor tent and other wedding preparations in the Santa Barbara area.
The announcement drew an outpouring of congratulations from friends, colleagues, and fans. Her Only Murders in the Building team celebrated with the message: “Our Mabel is MARRIED,” while Gomez’s Rare Beauty brand chimed in with: “So happy for you two.” Celebrities including Camila Cabello and Amy Schumer also sent their best wishes.
Blanco, 37, and Gomez, 33, first crossed paths nearly a decade ago and worked together on the 2019 track “I Can’t Get Enough.” Blanco is credited with producing chart-topping hits such as Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Britney Spears’ “Circus,” and Maroon 5’s “Moves Like Jagger.”
Gomez, whose own hits include “Calm Down,” “Good for You,” and “Come & Get It,” has been a household name since her Disney Channel breakthrough on Wizards of Waverly Place. She continues to captivate audiences with her award-nominated role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short.
With more than 417 million Instagram followers—the most for any woman on the platform—Gomez’s wedding announcement quickly became a global trending moment, marking a new chapter in the life of one of entertainment’s most beloved stars.
