Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have tied the knot.
The long-time couple made it official with their Saturday nuptials. Gomez posted on Instagram to commemorate the day, sharing polaroids and film footage from the wedding.
Gomez and Blanco first met when the former “Wizards of Waverly Place” star was around 17 years old. Gomez’s mother set up a meeting between the two to help her daughter with her then-budding music career. They became fast friends and went on to collaborate on several projects together. Blanco produced two tracks on Gomez’s 2015 album “Revival,” and Gomez was later featured on Blanco’s 2019 release. The pair collaborated again in 2023 on Gomez’s song “Single Soon.” They began dating the same year, and by December 2024, Gomez and Blanco were engaged.
In March, Blanco and Gomez’s collaborative history reached new heights with the release of their joint 14-song album “I Said I Love You First.” Ahead of the album’s debut, Spotify released a 33-minute one-on-one conversation between the couple, in which they went behind the scenes on their writing process.
“We’d get up in the morning and have a conversation. But our conversation was never led going, ‘What are we going to write in the album?’” Gomez said.
“I was constantly just writing whatever you said wherever we were,” Blanco added. “Sometimes, you’d be saying something really important, and I didn’t know if you even realized, but I would always open my phone and be like, ‘Fuck, that’s such a good line for a song.’”
