    US Actress-singer Selena Gomez Weds Music Producer Benny Blanco

    American actress and singer Selena Gomez married her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco, in a star-studded southern California wedding ceremony on Saturday.

    The “Only Murders in the Building” star posted a slideshow of pictures and videos on Instagram from the wedding, showing Gomez, 33, in a wedding dress and Blanco — real name Benjamin Joseph Levin — donning a tuxedo, with the couple seen in a variety of affectionate poses.

    The post is captioned “9.27.25” between two white emoji hearts, with Blanco commenting: “my wife in real life.”

    The ceremony was held in Santa Barbara County’s Hope Ranch, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) northwest of Los Angeles, according to Vogue Magazine.

    Among the 170 guests were US pop superstar — and longtime Gomez best friend — Taylor Swift, as well as British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, socialite Paris Hilton, and Gomez’s “Only Murders” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short.

    The fashion magazine also reported the couple wore wedding outfits from Ralph Lauren.

    The high-profile couple went public with their relationship in December 2023, with the pair becoming engaged a year later, according to Vogue.

    Blanco, 37, had a hand in producing some of Gomez’s biggest chart hits, including 2015 singles “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em with Kindness.” The duo released a collaborative album, “I Said I Love You First,” in March.

    Selena Gomez Announces Engagement To Benny Blanco

    Selena Gomez has revealed she is engaged to songwriter Benny Blanco.

    The actress and singer posted a picture of a large engagement ring on Instagram, with the caption “forever begins now”.

    It comes after the couple confirmed their relationship last year.

    Pop star Taylor Swift was among the famous figures to offer congratulations.

    Two-time Grammy-nominated Gomez posted further pictures of her beaming, wearing the ring, and one of Blanco embracing her in what appears to be a closet.

    “Hey wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco commented on the post.

    Swift replied: “Yes I will be the flower girl.”

    Rapper Cardi B, actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Suki Waterhouse, and singer Lil Nas X also sent well wishes.

    In an Instagram Story shared with her 423 million followers, the most-followed woman on the app also revealed a video showing her ring to loved ones on the phone.

    “Yes to this,” she can be heard saying, evoking screams on the other end of the video call.

    Gomez and record producer Blanco had collaborated on songs I Can’t Get Enough in 2019 and Single Soon in 2023, before announcing their relationship.

    Blanco, who has also worked with the likes of Rihanna, Calvin Harris and Justin Bieber, was effusive about his love on the Drew Barrymore Show back in May.

    “She’s just like the best, most genuine person,” he said on the chat show.

    “Everything is completely real. Everyday when I wake up, I, like, walk by the mirror as I’m, like, walking to her and I ask myself, ‘How did I get here’…

    “She’s one of the sweetest, one of the most charming, one of the most humble people I’ve ever met.”

    Come & Get It singer Gomez was previously in a high profile on-and-off relationship with fellow singer Justin Bieber. She also dated singer The Weeknd in 2017.

    The Texas-born star rose to fame as a child actress on Barney and Disney Channel, before forging a career as a singer and in acting.

    This year she joined the billionaire celebrity rich list, according to Bloomberg, amassing a $1.3bn (KSh. 168.5B) fortune – mainly deriving from her Rare Beauty make-up company.

    On Monday, she received two Golden Globe nominations – one in the best supporting actress category for her role in the operatic musical ‘Emilia Pérez’ and the other for best actress in a TV series, musical or comedy, for her recurring role in ‘Only Murders in the Building’.
