Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco confirmed their relationship in December 2023 (although they had known each other for several years at this point after having collaborated on music in 2019). To some, they may have seemed like one of the most unlikely couples, but the glimpse the pair has given into their relationship shows just how completely in love they are. Really, no one at all was surprised when they announced their engagement on social media in December 2024.
But fans might also be surprised by their alleged plans for their upcoming wedding.
Most celebrities opt for a no-expense-spared event, and the guest list includes hundreds of famous faces. Still, according to a report from Life & Style, Gomez and Blanco want a more laidback venue (there will be no jetting off to a fancy Italian villa or holidaying on a private island). “Selena can’t wait to marry Benny,” an insider told the publication, adding that they intend to hold their wedding at their shared home in Beverly Hills.
The source continues, “Selena envisions it as her and Benny’s forever home. They want to one day tell their kids about their fabulous backyard wedding with their friends and family!”
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Could Be Saying “I Do” In Their Garden
This is no small home, but an impressive $35 million mansion, and it can accommodate all their family and friends. However, there is still something incredibly romantic and personal about choosing to get married at their home.
Both Blanco and Gomez have worked in the music/entertainment industry for a long time and are well-connected and liked. This could be problematic when deciding on a guest list, but the source claims that having it at their house would allow them to keep it small. As noted by the publication, the actress has previously discussed this, noting in a chat with Interview magazine that she prefers to host small parties so as not to feel “a little overwhelmed,” which she tends to feel if the guest list is over 40.
The Life & Style source also claimed that Gomez and Blanco are invested in wedding planning but will focus on different things. For him, it’s the food; for her, it’s her outfit. Although the insider claims they are using her “old wedding vision board for some inspiration,” they also note that details, like the date and flowers, are not yet finalised.
Whenever the big day does come around, you can believe it will be one of the hottest celebrity events of the year, even if they choose to have it in the comfort of their backyard!
