Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Set to Tie the Knot in California
Celebrity power couple Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are expected to wed this weekend in California, according to several outlets including People, Us Weekly, and Page Six. With a private rehearsal already held and the precise venue kept under wraps, fans are awaiting the couple’s public confirmation and the guest list that’s slowly coming into view.
Rehearsal and Reserve Details
News outlets report that Gomez and Blanco hosted a wedding rehearsal on Friday night at a private estate, a day ahead of the big ceremony. The exact site for the ceremony remains a closely guarded secret, with insiders noting that the event will be an intimate affair held away from the public eye. In the lead-up to the weekend, the couple has focused on keeping logistics discreet while they prepare to welcome family, friends, and a small circle of trusted collaborators.
Where Guests Will Stay
Sources indicate that the couple reserved the luxury hotel El Encanto for their guests, a property known for its lush hillside setting and discreet service. The choice aligns with Gomez’s preference for privacy during high-profile events, while still offering a glamorous backdrop for the celebrations. Attendees are expected to enjoy a serene, resort-like atmosphere in the days surrounding the ceremony.
Who is Expected to Attend
Among the high-profile names anticipated to attend are Gomez’s close friend Taylor Swift and Swift’s collaborators from the hit series Only Murders in the Building, including Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Paul Rudd. Paris Hilton is also mentioned on several guest lists, along with Ed Sheeran and other notable figures, according to Us Weekly and other entertainment outlets. The guest roster reflects a blend of Gomez’s music world, acting circle, and longtime friends who have supported her career over the years.
A Star-Studded Guest List, Quiet by Design
Taylor Swift reportedly arrived in California by private plane, with measures taken to shield her from paparazzi. Reports describe careful security protocols and discreet arrivals aimed at preserving the couple’s privacy during the weekend. Notably, Swift is not accompanied by her fiancé at this time, as Travis Kelce was set to play a game for the Kansas City Chiefs that weekend.
Backstory and Relationship Milestones
Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024 after more than a year as a couple. Their partnership has been the subject of ongoing public interest, in part because of Blanco’s playful anecdotes about introducing Gomez to friends and the long history Gomez has with many friends in the music industry. The couple first crossed paths 16 years ago in a collaboration initiated by Gomez’s mother, setting the foundation for a romance that has endured into today’s wedding vows.
Pre-Wedding Celebrations and Romance Timeline
Leading up to the ceremony, the couple celebrated their bachelor and bachelorette weekends—Gomez’s trip reportedly took place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, while Blanco celebrated in Las Vegas. Blanco has shared affectionate posts about Gomez on social media, underscoring a relationship that has grown from collaboration to lasting love. Fans are now waiting for the couple to share a personal message about the ceremony and the future they plan to build together.
What to Expect on the Big Day
While details remain tightly guarded, observers expect a stylish, intimate ceremony with a focus on close friends and family, wrapped in California sunshine and elegant decor. The weekend’s planning appears to emphasize privacy, comfort, and a sense of celebration rooted in Gomez and Blanco’s shared history and creative bond. As photographers chase the highlights, the couple’s representatives have emphasized respect for the couple’s wishes to keep certain details under wraps until after the vows.
Fans and media will surely keep a keen eye on social channels for glimpses from the El Encanto weekend, but for now, the couple’s emphasis remains on a personal milestone surrounded by people who have supported them along the way.
