Santa Barbara, Sept 28 — Pop sensation Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco are officially married, following a dreamy seaside ceremony that blended vintage elegance with Hollywood glamour. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday, September 27, at the lush Sea Crest Nursery in Santa Barbara, California — a 70-acre coastal garden estate known for its sweeping ocean views and Mediterranean charm.
The intimate yet star-studded affair reportedly cost over $4 million and was attended by approximately 170 guests, including Taylor Swift, Paul Rudd, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Ed Sheeran, Paris Hilton, Ashley Park, and David Henrie. Guests received gold-embossed invitations featuring interlocking “S” and “B” monograms, and were hosted at the luxurious El Encanto Hotel, where suites start at $3,500 per night.
Gomez, 33, walked down the aisle in a custom Ralph Lauren halter-neck satin gown, hand-draped and embroidered, paired with platinum-and-diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co. She carried a bouquet of lily of the valley, symbolizing purity and happiness. Blanco, 37, complemented her look in a classic Ralph Lauren tuxedo and bowtie.
The weekend-long celebration began with a rehearsal dinner at a private estate in the exclusive Hope Ranch community. Gomez’s close friend Taylor Swift reportedly fulfilled her long-standing promise to serve as the flower girl, adding a whimsical touch to the ceremony.
The couple’s love story began in the music studio, with Blanco producing several of Gomez’s hits over the years. They began dating quietly in mid-2023 and announced their engagement in December 2024. Gomez confirmed the wedding with a series of romantic photos on Instagram, captioned “9.27.25 🤍,” showing the couple embracing under trees and sharing tender moments.
The wedding has been hailed as a “pop culture moment of the season,” with fans and media celebrating the union of two creative powerhouses. As the newlyweds begin their next chapter, their Santa Barbara ceremony stands as a testament to love, artistry, and enduring friendship.
