American pop star and award-winning actress Selena Gomez has officially married her longtime partner and music producer Benny Blanco in a beautiful ceremony that blended intimacy with Hollywood glamour in Santa Barbara, California.
The 33-year-old singer looked radiant in a white halter-neck gown designed with elegant simplicity, while Blanco, 37, complemented her in a sleek, classic black tuxedo. The newlyweds both shared moments from their big day on Instagram, with Gomez posting a series of photos captioned only with the date “9.27.25,” surrounded by heart emojis. Blanco sweetly replied under the post: “My wife in real life,” melting the hearts of fans worldwide.
A star-studded guest list
According to Vogue, the couple tied the knot before about 170 guests, including Gomez’s best friend Taylor Swift, actor Paul Rudd, and her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. The presence of such high-profile celebrities added a sparkle of Hollywood royalty to the otherwise cozy and heartfelt ceremony. The celebration was filled with music, laughter, and emotional tributes from family and friends.
A romance built on music
The couple’s journey to marriage has been deeply rooted in their shared passion for music. Gomez and Blanco, who announced their engagement in December 2024, had been dating for over a year before deciding to take the next step. Their joint album *I Said I Love You First*, released in March 2025, chronicled their love story in melody, quickly becoming a fan favorite for its sincerity and romantic undertones. Their collaboration dates back much further, with Blanco producing Gomez’s hits like *Same Old Love* and *Kill Em with Kindness* in 2015, as well as their 2019 collaboration *I Can’t Get Enough* with Tainy and J Balvin.
Two influential careers
Selena Gomez, who rose to fame as Alex Russo on Disney Channel’s *Wizards of Waverly Place*, has since evolved into an international music sensation and award-winning actress. Her role in the critically acclaimed film *Emilia Perez* has further cemented her reputation as one of the most versatile entertainers of her generation.
Benny Blanco, on the other hand, is a powerhouse producer known for crafting chart-topping hits for stars like Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Kesha, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran. His work has defined much of the pop soundscape of the past two decades. Blanco’s own album, Friends Keep Secrets, released in 2018, showcased his range as a solo artist while also highlighting his collaborations with some of the biggest names in music.
The marriage of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco has captured global attention not only for their celebrity status but also for the authenticity of their love story, which has been years in the making and written both in lyrics and in life.
