Selena Gomez is officially married to music producer Benny Blanco. The 33-year-old singer and actress exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California. Surrounded by close friends, family, and a few well-known faces, the wedding was kept deeply private. Guests were driven to the venue without knowing the exact location until just before the ceremony. Selena was walked down the aisle by her grandfather, David Cornett, in an emotional moment that moved her grandparents to tears.
However, not everyone in the family was entirely happy. According to reports, Selena’s mother, Mandy Teefey, felt heartbroken when she learned that she wasn’t chosen to walk her daughter down the aisle. Sources told Page Six that Mandy was “shattered” by the decision, especially considering how close she and Selena have been over the years. An insider also shared that the decision came as a surprise to many, given how much Mandy has supported Selena’s career and personal growth since her early days.
Despite this emotional moment, Selena’s mother reportedly played an important role in helping her daughter and Benny grow closer earlier this year. Mandy had Selena when she was only sixteen and raised her as a single mother before remarrying later. Their bond, while complex at times, has always been deeply rooted in love and shared history.
The wedding itself was simple yet breathtaking. Rehearsal dinner celebrations began at Hope Ranch in Goleta Valley on Friday evening, setting a warm and elegant tone. Selena’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Paul Rudd were among those spotted attending. Her best friend, Taylor Swift, was also reportedly present for the big day.
For her wedding, Selena wore a custom Ralph Lauren gown with a halter neckline, delicate floral details, and a soft satin train. She kept her look timeless and graceful. Benny Blanco matched her perfectly in a custom Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The couple exchanged vows in front of their loved ones and later celebrated with a quiet dinner reception.
Selena Gomez, born in 1992 in Texas, has grown from a Disney Channel star to one of the world’s most beloved artists. From Wizards of Waverly Place to chart-topping hits like Lose You to Love Me, she has built an impressive career while also using her voice to advocate for mental health and self-acceptance.
Benny Blanco, born Benjamin Joseph Levin in 1988, is one of the most successful music producers in the industry. He has worked with artists like Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and Halsey, producing hits that have dominated global charts.
Their wedding marks a new chapter in both their lives—one filled with love, quiet joy, and the promise of forever.
