A Budding Connection
The history between pop star Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco stretches back to 2015, long before their romantic involvement began. Their professional relationship started during the recording of Gomez's album Revival, where Blanco contributed to tracks like “Same Old Love” and “Kill ‘Em With Kindness.” Over the years, they continued to collaborate on various hits, laying a foundation of friendship that would eventually evolve into something much deeper.
The Early Days of Romance
Speculation about their relationship began to intensify in July 2023, when Gomez shared a photo from her 31st birthday party featuring Blanco. By the end of that year, the singer began offering glimpses into their life together. In December 2023, she confirmed that they had been quietly dating for several months. Gomez later described Blanco as «the best thing that’s ever happened to me» in a social media comment, calling him her «absolute everything.»
Stepping Into the Spotlight
As their relationship became public, the couple made several high-profile appearances. In early 2024, they were spotted enjoying a Los Angeles Lakers game, and shortly after, Gomez shared a sweet moment from the Golden Globes, humorously captioning a photo of herself on Blanco’s lap: «I won.» Blanco also began opening up about his aspirations, noting in interviews that he hoped to start a family one day and consistently expressing his deep admiration for Gomez, stating there is nowhere he would rather be than with her.
Engagement and Wedding
The couple announced their engagement in December 2024, with Gomez sharing the news on Instagram alongside the caption, «Forever begins now.» Blanco celebrated the milestone with an affectionate comment, referring to her as his wife. Their public journey continued throughout early 2025 with appearances at the Academy Awards and the Emmy Awards.
On September 27, 2025, the pair officially wed in Santa Barbara, California. Gomez shared photos of the elegant event, showcasing her strapless white gown and Blanco’s classic tuxedo. According to reports, the ceremony was organized by renowned celebrity planner Mindy Weiss and attended by numerous high-profile guests.
Celebrating Their First Year
In October 2026, Gomez shared details regarding how the couple celebrated their first anniversary. In a candid reflection, she described a low-key, intimate celebration, noting, «Oh, we actually just ate a piece of cake and watched [our wedding] videos in our pajamas. We’re so cheesy.»
