Selena Gomez has officially said “I do.” The singer, actress, and beauty mogul tied the knot with music producer Benny Blanco in a private, three-day celebration in Santa Barbara, California. According to Vogue, the ceremony was held on September 27 at the picturesque Sea Crest Nursery, with around 170 guests in attendance.
The festivities began with a rehearsal dinner the night before at a mansion in Santa Barbara’s exclusive Hope Ranch community. Guests arrived for a weekend of celebration that seamlessly blended Hollywood glamour with heartfelt intimacy.
For the big day, Gomez wore not one, but three custom Ralph Lauren gowns. Each look embodied timeless elegance, with one particularly sentimental detail: the couple’s initials embroidered into the lining of one dress. Blanco, meanwhile, kept his look sharp and personal in a custom tuxedo. But it was his accessory that stole attention, an extraordinary $1 million Jacob & Co. timepiece, crafted in 18-carat white gold and adorned with 21.39 carats of Ashoka-cut diamonds, alongside four Ashoka trillion-cut diamonds totaling 1.05 carats.
The ceremony itself was deeply personal, According to ELLE, Gomez and Blanco exchanged vows they had written themselves. Music and friendship were woven throughout the evening. Gomez’s closest friends, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, delivered touching speeches, while an A-list guest list looked on, including Paul Rudd, Édgar Ramírez, Zoe Saldaña, Paris Hilton, SZA, Camila Cabello, Cara Delevingne, Finneas, Ashley Park, David Henrie, Halsey, Avan Jogia, and Julia Michaels.
The couple’s love story has been years in the making. Longtime friends, Gomez and Blanco were first linked in mid-2023, made their romance Instagram official in December 2023, and announced their engagement a year later. Now, surrounded by loved ones and with vows sealed in Santa Barbara, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have begun their next chapter as husband and wife.
