Benny Blanco's Heartwarming Peek: Selena Gomez Sleeping on His Chest After Lavish Wedding
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Tie the Knot: A Fairytale Romance with a Dash of Drama
The music industry's most unlikely power couple has officially become husband and wife! Selena Gomez, 33, and producer extraordinaire Benny Blanco, 37, shared intimate glimpses into their wedding weekend on Instagram, leaving fans gagging over their lovey-dovey snaps. The newlyweds tied the knot in a lavish celebration at Santa Barbara's picturesque backdrop, surrounded by A-list friends including Taylor Swift, Steve Martin, and Ed Sheeran.
But before we dive into the juicy deets of their wedding day, let's take a trip down memory lane. Selena and Benny's romance was anything but conventional. The pair first collaborated on music nearly a decade ago, with Blanco producing some of Gomez's biggest hits. However, it wasn't until they worked together on her August 2023 smash hit "Single Soon" that sparks flew between them.
In an exclusive interview with thescholarlynote.com, sources close to the couple revealed that Benny and Selena first met in their teens but didn't rekindle their connection until they started working together on music. The pair's friendship blossomed into something more when Blanco dressed up as a white teddy bear for their 2019 collaboration "I Can't Get Enough." Who knew love could be so adorable?
Fast forward to December 2023, and the couple confirmed their romance, with Gomez declaring Benny the "best thing that's ever happened" to her. Talk about love at first sight... or should we say, love after a few years of friendship? The pair's whirlwind romance was met with excitement from fans, but also raised eyebrows due to their significant age gap.
Now, let's get back to those swoon-worthy wedding photos! Benny took to Instagram on Sunday morning to share a series of intimate snaps from their wedding weekend. In one heart-stopping image, Selena is seen peacefully asleep on her new husband's chest, looking like the ultimate Disney princess. We can't help but wonder what kind of romantic gestures went down behind closed doors.
Other photos showed the couple snuggled up on the sofa, with Gomez flaunting her stunning lace wedding gown and Blanco sporting a dashing black tuxedo. But it was the snap of their clasped hands that really got our hearts racing – who wouldn't want to see those sparkly diamond rings and matching gold bands?
The comments section was flooded with love from friends and fans, including Paris Hilton, who gushed over the couple's special day: "What a beautiful evening celebrating your wedding! I love you both and so happy for you." Ryan Tedder added a string of red heart emojis, followed by "CONGRATSSSSS."
As we celebrate this fairytale romance, it's worth noting that Selena's past relationships have been quite the opposite. Her high-profile romance with Justin Bieber ended in 2018 after seven years together – and let's just say their breakup was far from peaceful. In a 2020 interview with NPR, Gomez opened up about the toxic relationship, describing herself as "a victim to certain emotional abuse."
Benny Blanco's history with Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber) also raised eyebrows among fans. The two were married in 2018, just months before Selena and Justin's split.
Despite these drama-filled pasts, it seems Benny and Selena are living their best love story – or should we say, fairytale romance? Their joint album "I Said I Love You First" is a testament to their musical chemistry and blossoming love. Who knows what the future holds for this power couple?
One thing's for sure: fans will be eagerly waiting for more updates on Selena and Benny's life together. After all, as the saying goes – you can't rush love... or in this case, a fairytale romance with a dash of drama!
