Singer and actress Selena Gomez married music producer Benny Blanco in a private wedding ceremony Saturday in Santa Barbara, the couple confirmed in social media posts.

Gomez and Blanco exchanged vows at the lush Sea Crest Nursery in front of approximately 170 guests, according to a report from Vogue. The ceremony culminated in a romance that became public in Dec. 2023, leading to their engagement in Dec. 2024.

The bride announced the news on her Instagram account Sunday, posting a series of photographs by her friend and frequent collaborator Petra Collins. The caption simply read, “9.27.25,” bookended by white heart emojis.

In the images, Gomez wore a custom, hand-draped halter-neck satin gown with embroidery by Ralph Lauren, accessorized with platinum-and-diamond earrings from Tiffany & Co. Blanco wore a black tuxedo, also by Ralph Lauren.

Blanco also shared his own post on Sunday, featuring a mirror selfie of the newlyweds. “I married a real life Disney princess,” he wrote.

In various interviews leading up to the wedding, Gomez expressed her happiness, telling Vanity Fair last year, “I’ve never been loved this way. He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life.”

The wedding party included a high-wattage guest list of friends and colleagues. Attendees included Gomez’s longtime friend Taylor Swift, as well as her “Only Murders in the Building” co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short. Vogue reported that Actors Paul Rudd and Ashley Park, singer Ed Sheeran and socialite Paris Hilton were also among the guests.

The weekend celebration began with a rehearsal dinner on Friday at a mansion in the private Hope Ranch community.

Professionally, the couple’s history predates their romantic relationship. Blanco, a prolific hitmaker, produced several of Gomez’s tracks, including 2015’s “Same Old Love” and “Kill Em with Kindness.” Their collaboration continued with the 2019 song “I Can’t Get Enough” and more recently with Gomez’s 2023 single “Single Soon.”

Their relationship deepened into a creative partnership with the release of their joint album, “I Said I Love You First,” earlier this year, which chronicled their love story.
