Selena Gomez is officially off the market.
The 33-year-old actress and pop star said “I do” to music producer Benny Blanco, 37, in a lavish wedding that could have been pulled straight from a movie set.
The ceremony took place on Saturday evening at a sprawling 70-acre estate just north of Santa Barbara. Guests were shuttled into the property by a fleet of black Mercedes vans, each one disappearing behind high security gates and towering trees.
Before the ceremony, Gomez shared a suite of romantic snaps with her fiancé on Instagram. In one, she gazed at Blanco with pure adoration. In another, the pair strolled barefoot through the grass, hand in hand.
Her bridal look turned heads instantly. She wore a backless white gown with dramatic ruffles, delicate Tiffany & Co. diamonds, and a simple manicure in white. Her dark bob framed her face perfectly.
Blanco kept things classic in a black Ralph Lauren tuxedo, but gave it his own twist with a patterned shirt and matching pocket square.
At one point he lay back on the grass, resting his head on Gomez’s lap, her dress fanned out around them like a halo. In another, she raised her bouquet to her face with a playful smile.
Celebs arrive under tight security
It wasn’t just any wedding — this was pure Hollywood.
Comedian Eric Andre was spotted rocking a purple suit with a lime green shirt and white loafers. Ed Sheeran’s manager Stuart Camp looked sharp in black tie.
Taylor Swift was one of the biggest names on the guest list. The megastar flew in from Kansas City, staying at the Rosewood Miramar — a $1,000-a-night luxury hotel in Montecito.
Swift kept her promise to Gomez, reportedly taking part in the ceremony after joking last year that she would be her “flower girl.”
Other celebs included Paris Hilton, Martin Short, and Steve Martin, Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars.
The celebrations kicked off on Friday with a rehearsal dinner at a 10-bedroom mansion in Goleta’s exclusive Hope Ranch neighborhood.
Photos showed guests sipping champagne in candlelight as fairy lights twinkled across the garden. Gomez and Blanco mingled effortlessly with friends and family, looking relaxed ahead of their big day.
The mansion, valued at around $20 million, provided the perfect warm-up for the starry weekend.
Ceremony details kept under wraps
On Saturday, vast marquees were erected on the clifftop overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Buckets of blooms were scattered around the site, while strings of fairy lights gave the scene a romantic glow as the sun dipped.
Security was said to be tight, with Gomez reportedly spending around $300,000 to ensure privacy. Guests were shielded with umbrellas as they stepped off vans and headed into the tents.
Event designers Revelry — who have staged weddings for Demi Lovato and other stars — were spotted earlier in the day with trucks unloading supplies.
The pair had been engaged for just nine months. Gomez confirmed the news last December with a close-up shot of her marquise-cut engagement ring and the words: “Forever begins now.”
The couple actually first met years ago when Gomez was still a teen. But sparks didn’t fly until they collaborated on Single Soon in August 2023.
Fans went wild when Gomez declared Blanco was the “best thing that’s ever happened to me” online. By December, they were officially together.
Moving on from heartbreak
For Gomez, the marriage marks a fresh start after years of romantic ups and downs.
Her high-profile relationship with Justin Bieber dominated headlines from 2011 until their final split in 2018. Months later, Bieber married model Hailey Baldwin.
In a 2020 interview, Gomez called the Bieber relationship “toxic” and admitted she had endured emotional abuse.
Blanco, meanwhile, has long been a powerhouse in music, producing hits for stars like Ed Sheeran, Halsey, and Justin Bieber himself.
As night fell, music spilled out from the tents. Guests dined on gourmet food and danced under the fairy lights, with sources saying the party lasted well into the early hours.
A friend at the event said: “Selena has never looked happier. This wedding was everything she dreamed of — intimate, magical, and filled with people she loves.”
A new chapter
The wedding marks a new era for Gomez. Once known as Disney’s breakout star, later caught in messy relationships, she’s now a wife and, by all accounts, glowing with joy.
Her friends say she’s excited for what comes next — building a life with Blanco, continuing her music career, and focusing on projects she’s passionate about.
As one fan put it online after the first wedding pictures landed: “Selena looks like she finally found her peace.”
