Selena Gomez: Benny Blanco reveals the childhood dream behind their wedding

Benny Blanco has shared new details about his wedding to Selena Gomez, explaining that the ceremony held on September 27, 2025, in Santa Barbara allowed the singer to fulfill a dream she had envisioned since childhood.

In the September 8, 2026, episode of his podcast “Friends Keep Secrets,” the producer recounted that the couple chose a palm tree farm transformed for the occasion. Selena Gomez wanted a personal ceremony, steering clear of overly traditional or sophisticated setups.

Among the details mentioned, the performer of “Lose You to Love Me” was particularly keen on walking down the aisle on Persian rugs arranged in an off-center manner and avoiding traditional floral arrangements. Benny Blanco explained that a lot of effort went into the decor while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere.

The wedding, which remained largely private, was officiated by rapper and comedian Lil Dicky. Several celebrities were among the guests, including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Steve Martin, Martin Short, SZA, Paris Hilton, Cara Delevingne, and Zoe Saldaña.

One year of marriage at the end of the month

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco married on September 27, 2025, in Santa Barbara, after making their relationship public in 2023 and announcing their engagement in December 2024.

Benny Blanco’s revelations come just weeks ahead of their first wedding anniversary. The producer emphasized the bespoke nature of the ceremony and the couple’s desire to create a moment that reflected Selena Gomez rather than a conventional social reception.

Their first wedding anniversary will fall on September 27, 2026, exactly one year after the ceremony held in Santa Barbara.
