Selena Gomez confirms marriage to producer Benny Blanco in romantic California ceremony
Selena Gomez has tied the knot with long-time partner and music producer Benny Blanco, capping their decade-long connection with a romantic ceremony in California.
The Emmy- and Grammy-nominated singer and actress shared the news with her 417 million Instagram followers, posting photos of herself and Blanco kissing and embracing on a lawn. “My wife in real life,” Blanco replied in the comments, confirming their marriage.
For the occasion, Gomez, 33, wore a white halter-style bridal gown decorated with floral flourishes. Blanco, 37, chose a classic tuxedo and bow tie, both outfits custom-designed by Ralph Lauren.
Speculation about the event had been building for days, with paparazzi capturing images of a grand outdoor tent and other wedding preparations in Santa Barbara.
When the official announcement arrived, congratulations flooded social media. Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building account, referencing Gomez’s role as Mabel, exclaimed: “Our Mabel is MARRIED.” Her Rare Beauty cosmetics brand also joined in, posting: “so happy for you two.” Celebrity friends including Camila Cabello and Amy Schumer shared warm messages of support.
The newlyweds’ relationship stretches back nearly ten years. Gomez and Blanco first met through the music industry and collaborated in 2019 on the track I Can’t Get Enough, alongside J Balvin and Tainy. Their engagement was announced at the end of 2024, following months of public appearances together.
Blanco, one of the most prolific pop producers of his generation, boasts a career spanning countless chart-toppers. He is credited with co-writing or producing hits such as Teenage Dream by Katy Perry, Britney Spears’ Circus, and Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger.
Gomez, meanwhile, has built one of the most versatile careers in entertainment. From her early days as a child actor on Barney and Friends, she rose to fame as Alex Russo in Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place. Transitioning to music, she scored global hits with Come & Get It, Same Old Love, Good for You, and her collaboration Calm Down.
Her acting career has flourished alongside her music. In recent years she has earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her role in Only Murders in the Building, starring alongside comedy legends Martin Short and Steve Martin.
Off-screen, Gomez has also made her mark as a successful entrepreneur and activist. Her Rare Beauty line has been celebrated for its focus on inclusivity and mental health advocacy, while her voice on issues such as body positivity and self-acceptance has resonated widely with fans.
On Instagram, where she remains the most-followed woman in the world, Gomez’s marriage announcement generated an outpouring of affection. For many fans, the wedding marks a joyful new chapter for a performer whose personal life has often been lived in the glare of public scrutiny.
For Gomez and Blanco, the moment reflects both a private triumph and a public celebration. Their journey from creative collaborators to life partners has captivated audiences, and their ceremony in Santa Barbara underscored the enduring strength of their bond.
As the music world and Hollywood continue to send their congratulations, one thing is clear: Selena Gomez has entered a new era — one that fans will be following with as much devotion as ever.
