When Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez announced their engagement in December 2024, the internet collectively gasped. The news wasn’t entirely shocking—after all, the two had been quietly dating for over a year and increasingly vocal about their love for one another—but it still felt like a plot twist fans had long hoped for but never fully expected. Now, just months later, the couple is diving headfirst into the next chapter of their love story: planning a wedding they describe as joyful, intimate, and uniquely them.
In a recent interview, music producer and songwriter Benny Blanco opened up about the couple’s next steps and their deep excitement about building a life together. “We’re so excited. Honestly, we can’t wait,” Blanco said, beaming. “It’s all starting to feel real now that we’ve begun talking about dates, locations, what kind of vibe we want… It’s going to be special.”
And with a relationship rooted in creativity, mutual respect, and a love that has only grown stronger with time, the wedding of Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez promises to be one of the most talked-about—and meaningful—events of the coming year.
A Romance Built on Friendship and Timing
Before they were a couple, Blanco and Gomez were longtime friends and collaborators. Their professional paths first crossed over a decade ago, when Blanco co-wrote and produced several tracks for Gomez during her early solo career. Their creative chemistry was undeniable, and a lasting friendship blossomed from those shared sessions in the studio.
That friendship endured even as they dated other people, pursued separate ventures, and evolved in the public eye. But in mid-2023, something shifted. “We were always close, but it wasn’t until last year that we both realized what was in front of us,” Gomez said in a rare personal interview earlier this year. “I think we were both finally ready—for each other, and for the kind of relationship that feels like home.”
In December 2023, the couple went public with their relationship, posting a simple but sweet photo together on Instagram, arms intertwined and faces glowing with happiness. What followed was a year filled with quiet date nights, creative collaborations, and moments of support that fans couldn’t help but admire—from Gomez attending Blanco’s cookbook launch to Blanco showing up at Gomez’s mental health events.
Their engagement, announced one year later, felt like the natural next step in a love story that had been slowly, quietly unfolding for years.
The Proposal: “Perfectly Us”
According to both Gomez and Blanco, the proposal wasn’t flashy or over-the-top—but it was deeply personal.
“He proposed at home,” a source close to the couple shared. “It was just the two of them, candles, music, their dog curled up nearby. Benny had written her a song instead of a speech. He played it for her, and then got down on one knee.”
Gomez, known for her love of sentiment and simplicity, reportedly cried before saying yes. “It was perfectly them,” the source added. “No paparazzi, no big production. Just love.”
Fans got a glimpse of the moment days later when Gomez posted a photo of her ring—a delicate vintage-style piece featuring a cushion-cut diamond flanked by two smaller stones. “Forever isn’t long enough,” she captioned the post.
Planning the Big Day: “It’ll Be Creative, but Personal”
So, what kind of wedding are Benny and Selena planning?
Blanco offered a few hints during his recent interview. “We’re definitely not doing anything traditional,” he said with a laugh. “It’s going to be creative, but very personal. We’re talking about music, food, people who’ve really shaped our lives. We don’t want it to be about spectacle—we want it to be about love.”
According to insiders, the couple is considering a late 2025 wedding, possibly in California or Texas, to reflect both of their roots. They’ve also discussed the idea of a destination wedding, but “nothing is set in stone yet.”
“Selena wants something that feels like home,” a friend revealed. “She’s not interested in the Hollywood circus. She wants to walk down the aisle in front of people she truly loves—family, friends, and the ones who’ve been there for her through it all.”
Blanco, a noted foodie and cookbook author, is said to be heavily involved in the catering aspect of the celebration. “He wants to design the menu himself,” the same source added. “He’s joking that the food is his wedding gift to her.”
Music, of course, will play a central role. While no official details have been released, speculation is already swirling about who might perform. Given the couple’s industry ties—everyone from Taylor Swift to Justin Timberlake to SZA has been part of their creative circles—fans can likely expect a star-studded musical element, even if the ceremony itself remains intimate.
A Different Kind of Power Couple
What makes Blanco and Gomez such a compelling couple isn’t just their celebrity status or shared creative talents—it’s the way they support and ground one another.
For Gomez, whose mental health journey has been well-documented, Blanco has become a source of quiet stability. “He doesn’t try to fix me,” she said during a recent panel. “He listens. He respects me. He’s kind. I feel safe with him, and that’s everything.”
Blanco, in turn, has spoken publicly about how Gomez has brought more meaning and calm into his life. “She’s one of the strongest people I’ve ever met,” he shared. “She’s been through so much, and yet she still loves deeply, laughs easily, and gives so much to others. Being with her makes me want to be better.”
Their relationship stands out in a culture of quick flings and viral PDA. There’s a maturity to the way they approach love—a depth that feels rare in the spotlight.
What the Future Holds
With a wedding on the horizon and shared projects in the works (including rumors of a collaborative album), Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez are entering a new era—both as a couple and as individuals.
Gomez, who continues to balance acting, music, and advocacy, has hinted that she’s ready to focus more on the things that bring her peace. “I want to build a life,” she said in an interview. “One that’s full of meaning, connection, and joy. I’m not chasing anything anymore. I’m just embracing what’s already in front of me.”
For Blanco, the engagement has marked a shift in how he sees himself—not just as a producer or celebrity, but as a partner. “I’ve always loved making things,” he said. “But building a life with someone? That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever started.”
Love, On Their Own Terms
In a world where celebrity romances often burn hot and fade fast, Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez are doing things differently. Their relationship isn’t about perfection—it’s about partnership. About finding someone who sees you, supports you, and celebrates your whole self.
Their upcoming wedding isn’t just a Hollywood event. It’s a testament to growth, patience, and the kind of love that feels more like home than headlines.
And as Blanco says, they’re just getting started.
“We’ve both lived a lot of life already,” he said. “Now, we get to live the next part together. And we’re so excited.”
Because when it’s right—you just know.
