Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Wed in Santa Barbara Ceremony
The pop star and music producer exchange vows in California before about 170 guests, with Taylor Swift among the attendees.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have married in a ceremony in Santa Barbara, California, Vogue reports. The couple exchanged vows in front of about 170 guests, including friends and fellow musicians, in a private ceremony overseen by an intimate circle.
Gomez shared a glimpse of the day on Instagram, posting photos of herself in a white halter-neck wedding gown and Blanco in a dark tuxedo. The post was captioned with the phrase "9.27.26" bookended by heart emojis, signaling a personal milestone for the couple.
Vogue identified several notable attendees, including Taylor Swift, actor Paul Rudd, and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, underscoring the blend of personal and professional ties that accompanied the celebration.
Blanco and Gomez became engaged in December 2024 after about a year of dating, following a long-running professional collaboration. They released the album I Said I Love You First in March, a project described by the artists as a musical reflection of their relationship.
The marriage comes after Gomez and Blanco had publicly discussed their creative partnership, which has produced several collaborations over the years. Gomez’s career spans acting and music, dating to her Disney Channel breakout in Wizards of Waverly Place and extending into numerous film and music projects. She has released a string of popular singles and has starred in films such as Emilia Perez, where she played Jessica Del Monte.
Blanco, who has long worked behind the scenes as a producer, released his solo studio album Friends Keep Secrets in 2018 and has produced for a roster of major pop acts, including Katy Perry, Britney Spears and Kesha. The union marks a high-profile milestone for two artists who have built careers on collaboration and cross-media ventures.
The couple’s album, I Said I Love You First, released in March, has been positioned as a document of their personal journey, blending intimate storytelling with Blanco’s production expertise and Gomez’s vocal storytelling. While the two have continued to balance personal milestones with ongoing professional commitments, the wedding represents a defining moment in a relationship that has frequently intersected art and life.
As Gomez and Blanco move forward, fans will be watching for further musical and artistic collaborations, as well as any future public appearances that may stem from their newly solidified partnership.
