Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco: A 'Bridesmaid' in Gwyneth Paltrow's Hometown!
Selena Gomez and Fiancé Benny Blanco's Secret Wedding Plans Exposed!
The news is out, but it seems like a secret only a select few knew: pop sensation Selena Gomez and her music producer fiancé Benny Blanco are tying the knot in a super-exclusive ceremony in the affluent neighborhood of Montecito, California. And yes, you read that right – they've been engaged for months, but we're just now getting the juicy deets!
According to sources close to the couple (okay, we'll call it The Scholarly Note), the 33-year-old "Hands To Myself" songstress and her 37-year-old beau are set to exchange their vows in a private residence they've rented specifically for security reasons. But don't get it twisted – this isn't just any ordinary wedding. Oh no! We're talking intimate, VIP-only affair with only close friends and family in attendance.
The location? The picturesque town of Montecito, nestled between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It's a spot that's already a haven for A-listers like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, and Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle – talk about celebrity-approved!
But what really got our attention is Selena's unconventional wedding menu preferences. On her Rare Beauty TikTok account (because who doesn't love a good TikTok update from their favorite celeb?), the Texas native revealed that she's obsessed with serving biscuits and gravy as dessert on her big day! Yes, you read that right – no fancy cake for this bride-to-be. Her Nana's classic recipe will be taking center stage instead.
This isn't the only hint we've gotten about the wedding festivities, though. Sources have spilled that Selena's bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico was the real deal – complete with a day at the beach in a white bikini and bridal veil, a black thong swimsuit-clad video, and even a "Mrs. Levin" balloon extravaganza! Talk about a girl's getaway to remember.
As for the couple themselves, they've been going strong since confirming their relationship last December (2023) with Selena flashing her sparkling $1M diamond ring on Instagram. Since then, we've seen them collaborate on music – yes, you read that right – releasing their debut joint album "I Said I Love You First" in March.
But what really caught our attention was Benny's candid interview on Australia's Today show back in June, where he dished about the music-making process with Selena. It seems like it all started as a fun activity at home, but soon turned into an album-worthy collaboration! When asked if they planned to make music together, he quipped, "Most people when they get engaged plan a wedding, but you and Selena make an album."
It's clear that these two are meant to be – and we can't wait to see what the future holds for this power couple. With their love and commitment to each other, it seems like forever really does start now.
