SHE'S TAKING THE LEAP! Selena Gomez Spills All About Her Dreamy Wedding Plans with Fiancé Benny Blanco
The wait is almost over, folks! Selena Gomez and her handsome beau Benny Blanco are finally tying the knot, and they couldn't be more excited about it. The 33-year-old pop sensation, known for her chart-topping hits and captivating smile, beamed with joy when discussing their upcoming nuptials on Tuesday's episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
Joined by her Only Murders in the Building co-stars Steve Martin and Martin Short, Selena couldn't contain her enthusiasm as she gushed about the wedding planning process. When asked by host Jimmy about the big day, which is believed to take place later this month, she exclaimed, "It's wonderful! I'm very lucky. It's going well. I'm so excited!"
Steve Martin, ever the comedian, quipped, "I'm sure our invites will arrive any day now," prompting Selena to confirm that, of course, her friends and co-stars would be receiving an invite to the most anticipated event of the year.
But what really had everyone talking was when Selena joked that her friend Marty Short would be serving as the ringbearer. "Marty's the ringbearer!" she playfully announced, sending the audience into a fit of laughter. Martin Short, never one to miss an opportunity for a witty remark, chimed in, "We are all so excited because we love this lady, and we love her fiancé Bad Bunny."
The news about Selena and Benny's wedding has been making waves for months now. The singer and music producer got engaged nearly a year ago, with sources revealing that the proposal was almost derailed when Selena initially thought it was just a photo shoot. "I was tired and cranky on my way to the early morning shoot," she confessed during their joint appearance on The Tonight Show in March. Benny, however, remained undeterred, getting down on one knee with a sparkling diamond ring worth an estimated $1 million.
The lovebirds' engagement announcement sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with fans and friends alike congratulating the happy couple on social media. "Forever starts now," Selena captioned her Instagram post, showcasing her stunning diamond ring.
Now, it's been revealed that the wedding will take place in Montecito, California, at a private residence – not inside a hotel, as some had speculated. The venue is said to have tighter security measures in place, given the high-profile nature of the event.
As for the guest list, sources close to the couple have confirmed that Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton's sister, will be among the esteemed invitees. "We're thrilled to see Selena and Benny surrounded by their loved ones," a source revealed to TheScholarlyNote.com last week.
While the exact date of the wedding remains under wraps, insiders have narrowed it down to the end of this month. With only weeks to go until the big day, fans are eagerly anticipating the union of these two beloved celebrities.
In related news, Selena and Benny made a joint appearance on The Tonight Show in March to promote their album I Said I Love You First. During their segment, they shared a heartwarming moment when Benny revealed that he was "freaking out" over Selena's initial hesitation about the proposal.
"It almost didn't happen!" Benny exclaimed, chuckling. "She was mad! She almost didn't come!"
The lovebirds' whirlwind romance has captivated fans worldwide, and it seems that their big day is finally within reach. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated event!
