No flashy hotel sponsorships. No influencers. Just sun, sand, close friends — and the kind of raw joy that can't be photoshopped. Against a string of candid beach photos and goofy group shots shared on Instagram, Gomez smiled, laughed, and lounged in breezy outfits — looking more like the girl next door than a billion-dollar brand.

Casual Clothes, Candid Snaps – And A Hint Of Baby Buzz?

Gomez kept her fashion choices unfussy, opting for breezy summer looks, such as a halter top dress, which fans adored. But one photo raised eyebrows, "I thought the bump photo was her for a hot second and was like woah apparently I have missed a ton.

Her photos, posted on various social media pages, were filled with love from followers, with comments like "Wow ❤️ Gorgeous Selena 💍" and "Gorgeous!! No Taylor?" referring to the absence of her longtime friend Taylor Swift. Another comment asked, "Where is Taylor?"

Indeed, the absence of Swift, Selena Gomez's famously close friend, didn't go unnoticed — and sparked a separate swirl of buzz.

"Forever begins now" – But The Wedding Will Be "Chill"

The couple, who got engaged late last year with Gomez's caption "forever begins now..," haven't set a wedding date just yet. In a July interview, Blanco admitted the planning hasn't quite started:

"Not yet. You know, we're both working on so many things that we hadn't had time to, like, get into it, but we're so excited. I think like this summer, we're going to like sit down and 'Okay, what are we doing?'"

As for the location? "I think so, but it'll be like chill," he said of potentially hosting it in Los Angeles.
