Benny Blanco's Swoon-Worthy Reaction After Selena Gomez Announces They Are Officially Married

The "Love On" singer and the record producer have tied the knot, but sharp-eyed netizens noticed details that didn't quite match the joyful tone of the occasion.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially husband and wife, as each revealed the news in a series of stunning Instagram posts, sharing heartfelt glimpses into a wedding ceremony shared with close friends, family, and social media users.

Gomez confirmed the marriage on Instagram, posting a series of images from the day with the caption, "🤍 9.27.25 🤍."

The images sparked an immediate frenzy online, racking up over 20 million likes within hours.

The wedding took place at a private estate in Santa Barbara, California, where close friends and family gathered to watch the pair exchange vows. The couple wore Ralph Lauren ensembles.

Gomez, 33, wore a custom ivory halterneck gown with intricate lace details and a dramatic open back. She completed the look with Tiffany & Co. diamonds and romantic, soft bridal curls. Blanco, 37, chose a timeless black tuxedo and bow tie, keeping his style crisp and classic.

The ceremony was beautifully documented by acclaimed photographer Petra Collins, whose images captured the couple embracing in lush gardens, holding hands beneath the California sun, and sharing quiet, intimate moments.

In one especially striking frame, Gomez appears barefoot, holding a Lily of the Valley bouquet, her smile wide and filled with unmistakable joy.

According to People, the reception was filled with emotion, energy, and deeply personal speeches from some of the couple’s closest loved ones.

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran, both longtime friends of Gomez and Blanco, delivered touching remarks. So did Gomez's mother, Mandy Teefey, her stepfather, Brian Teefey, and Blanco's parents, Sandra and Andrew Levin.

"At the reception, everyone was letting loose and celebrating them well into the night," a source told People. "The vibe was so much fun." The source also noted that Gomez and Blanco looked genuinely happy, their smiles never fading as they soaked up the love around them.

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Wedding Draws Praise and a Wave of Criticism Online

Some followers took to the comments with concerns about Blanco's expressions in certain photos. "Why is Benny not smiling!? I am happy for Selena but this also worries me for Selena," one critic questioned.

Another commented, "Benny looking like a hostage 🤦‍♂️," and a third added, "Why does her husband not react?!!!!" A fourth viewer wrote, "Looks like they took these pictures to share. Not their real wedding."

Despite the skepticism, the mood in the comments remained largely joyous. "He looks so handsome and she looks so beautiful," one fan gushed. Others shared similar sentiments, with one calling Gomez the most beautiful bride and another describing the wedding as absolutely perfect.

Another supporter shared, "Gorgeous photos! I'm in love with her dress! So happy for them.💕" Someone else raved, "SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU TWO!!! Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your special day!! We love you 😭❤️."

Benny Blanco Drops More Post-Nuptial Snaps

Later, Blanco followed up with a second set of images, this time, a more personal look into their quiet moments, in what appeared to be after the ceremony. He captioned the post, "i married a real life disney princess [sic]."

One image showed the couple lounging on a white couch, still in their wedding attire. Another gave a close-up of their hands: wedding rings glinting, lace from Gomez's dress peeking out, and Blanco's oversized jeweled watch and bracelet gleaming.

Perhaps the most intimate photo showed Gomez resting with her eyes closed on Blanco's chest. The final photo captured a candid moment: a young boy in a tuxedo lying sprawled on a red patterned rug in front of a floral altar, the officiant still standing nearby, a sweet, unscripted reminder of the day’s family-centered warmth.

Before walking down the aisle, Gomez took a break from the spotlight to celebrate in her own way. As reported in August 2025, she jetted off to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, for what fans are calling the most refreshingly low-key bachelorette party in Hollywood history.

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 (now made private) 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.

"This Is So Normal" – Fans Floored By Selena's 'Real Girl Energy'

For longtime fans, the intimate vibe of the trip was a welcome shock.

"The normalcy of this is really amazing me 💖," one fan gushed. "So true!! They don't look like everything was just put together for likes and content and to show off, like what I'd expect from other celebrities and social media personalities," another chimed in, throwing subtle shade at more curated celebrity celebrations.

The simplicity wasn't just about the setting — it was also about the people. "Ngl it's really sweet to see all of her close friends aren't famous. "I feel like that's what probably keeps her more grounded [sic]," one commenter noted.

Another fan pointed out the relatability of the event, "I love how cute and lowkey this bachelorette party seems. Reminds me of ones I’ve had with friends, and none of us are billionaires as far as I'm aware!"

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. Overall such a cute vibe and obsessed with her halter top dress [sic]," one fan wrote.

Others went even further, suggesting a possible pregnancy. "She looks pregnant," one Instagrammer commented. The understated vibe also drew comparisons to everyday gatherings. "This is so understated and cute," one comment read."This looks like such a fun and normal bachelorette trip! Love this for her," another wrote.

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.

Inside The Celebration: No Chaos, Just Cupcakes And Photo Collages

According to an exclusive from Us Weekly, Gomez's girlfriends went all out with personal touches and sentimental flair.

"Her girlfriends went out of their way to make Selena feel really special," a source revealed. "It was your typical, traditional bachelorette and what Selena wanted. She was radiating all weekend and was so happy to have downtime with her girlfriends [sic].

"Selena is a simple girl, and the little things go a long way with her," the insider added. "She truly exudes happiness when she talks about Benny. She is very excited to start this next chapter with him."
