Benny Blanco's 'Princess' Caption Sparks Hilarious Social Media Trolls After Star-Studded Wedding

Benny Blanco has been ruthlessly trolled online over the caption in his first post with wife Selena Gomez following their star-studded wedding on Saturday

SELena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Fairy Tale Wedding: Trolls Mock Their "Beauty and the Beast" Love Story

In a shocking turn of events, the internet has been abuzz with cruel jokes and mocking comments after Benny Blanco, 37, lovingly dubbed his new wife Selena Gomez a "real-life Disney princess" on their first Instagram post together. The caption, shared by the newlywed producer, was intended to be a heartwarming tribute to their magical wedding weekend in Santa Barbara, California.

However, not everyone was swept up in the romance of it all. On X (formerly Twitter), trolls took to the platform to ridicule the couple's "Beauty and the Beast" love story, with some comparing Benny to the infamous Beast from Disney's classic tale and Selena to Princess Belle. One user quipped, "Him being The Beast is wild," while another joked, "This is the Shrek movie in real life."

But despite the online hate, the couple's friends and fans are showering them with love and support. Taylor Swift, a close pal of Selena's, was spotted at their star-studded wedding celebration alongside other A-listers like Paul Rudd, Ed Sheeran, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.

Selena stunned in a custom Ralph Lauren satin gown on her big day, while Benny wore a classic black tuxedo. The newlyweds' love story began nearly a decade ago when they started working together as collaborators. Their professional partnership has been incredibly successful, with Benny producing several of Selena's biggest hits.

In December 2023, the news of their romance broke, and by December 2024, they were engaged. Now, they've tied the knot in an intimate ceremony surrounded by loved ones. The couple's Instagram post, which included a series of intimate snaps from their wedding weekend, was met with both love and hate.

Afterwards, Benny took to Instagram to share a series of intimate snaps from their wedding weekend, and in the caption, he declared he 'married a real life Disney princess'

One user defended the caption, writing, "The caption makes them so much CUTER, I would fall so HARD for someone that CALLS ME a Disney princess." Another fan gushed, "He's obsessed with her and that's all that matters." Paris Hilton chimed in, telling the couple, "What a beautiful evening celebrating your wedding! I love you both and so happy for you."

Ryan Tedder, a fellow musician, showed his support by responding to their post with a string of red heart emojis followed by "CONGRATSSSSS." Selena herself jumped into the comments, writing, "I love you soooo much!" The sweet exchange has only fueled speculation about their whirlwind romance.

Their joint album, I Said I Love You First, is a testament to their creative chemistry. Now, fans are eagerly awaiting more music from this talented couple. Will they continue to defy online trolls and prove that true love conquers all? Only time will tell.

In the meantime, we can't help but be drawn into the fairy tale world of Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco. Their love story is a reminder that even in today's digital age, romance and magic still exist – if you know where to look. As one fan so aptly put it, "This is the cutest, Benny more points."

But some social media users were quick to use the caption to make cruel jokes about Benny, comparing them to Beauty and the Beast or Shrek and Fiona
