Selena Gomez and record producer Benny Blanco have officially tied the knot in Santa Barbara, marking the next chapter in their year-long romance. The couple, who announced their engagement in December 2024, exchanged vows on Saturday in front of family, close friends and a glittering guest list.
The wedding weekend began with a rehearsal dinner on Friday at a private estate in Hope Ranch, an exclusive enclave set against the rolling foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains.
The ceremony itself unfolded at the verdant Sea Crest Nursery, where around 170 guests gathered beneath sweeping white marquees for dining, dancing and late-night festivities. Tight security ensured the high-profile celebration remained an intimate affair.
Familiar faces in attendance included Taylor Swift, Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton, Ed Sheeran, Ashley Park and David Henrie, Gomez’s former Wizards of Waverly Place co-star.
Her ‘Only Murders in the Building’ colleagues Martin Short and Steve Martin were also present, with Gomez previously teasing that Short might deliver a toast and Martin could bring out his banjo.
The bride opted for a custom Ralph Lauren gown: a halter-neck satin dress, delicately embroidered and paired with a bouquet of lily of the valley. She completed the look with platinum-and-diamond Tiffany & Co. earrings. Blanco complemented her in a classic black Ralph Lauren tuxedo.
Gomez and Blanco’s creative partnership stretches back nearly a decade, with Blanco producing several of her hits, including ‘Same Old Love’ and ‘Kill Em with Kindness’ in 2015.
They later reunited for the 2019 collaboration ‘I Can’t Get Enough’ alongside J Balvin and Tainy and most recently worked together on her 2023 single ‘Single Soon’.
Earlier this year, the pair released a joint album, ‘I Said I Love You First’, followed by a deluxe edition.
The Rare Beauty founder’s engagement ring, a six-carat marquise diamond on a pavé band, has already been hailed as a trendsetter. She celebrated her hen do in Cabo, Mexico with her closest friends, while Blanco enjoyed a stag weekend in Las Vegas.
With vows exchanged and celebrations underway, the couple begins married life surrounded by love, music and a constellation of famous friends.
