Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are finally said to be getting married today, September 27, 2025, in what’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about weddings of the year. The couple, who began dating in 2023 and got engaged in 2024, are reportedly tying the knot in Montecito, California. Fans have been buzzing with excitement as small details from the wedding have begun to leak, even though the couple has done everything possible to keep the event private.
According to TMZ, the wedding is taking place at an undisclosed venue believed to be near the luxurious El Encanto Hotel in Santa Barbara, which Selena reportedly booked entirely for her guests. Each room is said to cost around $3,500 per night, and security has been extremely tight. Guests were reportedly told they would be picked up and driven directly to the wedding site without being given the exact address beforehand.
Adding to the excitement, Selena’s best friend Taylor Swift has already been spotted in Santa Barbara. Sources say she’s fulfilling a sweet promise she made months ago — serving as the flower girl for Selena’s big day. Taylor’s arrival made headlines after she was photographed stepping off a private jet, surrounded by umbrellas to keep her hidden from cameras.
The star-studded guest list reportedly includes Miley Cyrus, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and possibly Meryl Streep — Selena’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars. Another interesting detail that has fans talking is that Selena may have hired Mindy Weiss, the same wedding planner who handled Justin and Hailey Bieber’s wedding. Whether this was intentional or purely coincidental remains unclear, but it has certainly fueled conversation online.
As for the food, Selena seems to be keeping things personal and cozy. In an earlier interview, she shared that she didn’t want a traditional wedding cake, saying she’d prefer her nana’s biscuits and gravy — something that reminds her of home and feels more meaningful than a fancy dessert.
Selena and Benny’s relationship has been a whirlwind romance grounded in deep friendship. They started dating in 2023 after years of knowing each other through the music industry and went public later that year. In December 2024, Benny proposed with a beautiful marquise-cut diamond ring, and Selena announced the engagement with the caption, “Forever begins now.”
While fans eagerly wait for the first glimpse of Selena in her wedding dress, the buzz around the event continues to grow. With tight security, an A-list guest list, and some heartwarming personal touches, the ceremony is shaping up to be as intimate as it is iconic — the perfect reflection of Selena and Benny’s love story.
