In a major milestone for two of pop music’s most prominent figures, Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have both announced and celebrated their wedding — as well as a full creative partnership — marking a dramatic new phase for the couple both personally and professionally.
From collaboration to commitment
Gomez and Blanco officially tied the knot on September 27, 2025, in a ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California. AP News+2Vogue+2 The announcement came via an Instagram post in which Gomez simply captioned a wedding-photo carousel: “🤍 9.27.25 🤍”. Blanco responded in the comments, “my wife in real life.” ELLE+1
Their relationship, however, has deeper roots. The pair first went public with their romance in December 2023, later announcing their engagement in December 2024. People.com+2Vogue+2 Prior to the public acknowledgment of their romance, they had also worked together professionally — Blanco co-produced several of Gomez’s tracks, including the 2019 single “I Can’t Get Enough” which listed both of them as collaborators.

The wedding in detail
The wedding itself was described as an elegant, intimate event held at a private venue nestled in the suburban hills of Santa Barbara County. Vogue Gomez wore a custom hand-draped halter-neck satin gown with floral appliqués designed by Ralph Lauren; Blanco wore a tuxedo and bow tie, also Ralph Lauren. Vogue+1 Guests reportedly included high-profile figures from the entertainment world: friends and collaborators of Gomez and Blanco such as Taylor Swift, Steve Martin and Martin Short. Vogue+1

More than just a wedding: a creative union
Parallel to their romantic commitment, Gomez and Blanco are deepening their professional collaboration. In February 2025 they announced a surprise joint album titled I Said I Love You First, set to release on March 21. People.com+2Billboard+2 The album notably documents their relationship journey — from before they met to building a life together — and signals a rare moment in pop culture where a star couple turns their relationship into shared art.

Reflections and personal growth
In earlier interviews, Gomez opened up about how her relationship with Blanco felt different from past romances. She noted that she felt truly seen, respected and valued — a contrast she acknowledged she might not have been ready for 10 years ago. People.com Blanco echoed similar sentiments, describing her as “the one” from very early in their acquaintance. ELLE
The couple’s public appearances since the wedding have further amplified this narrative of unity. For instance, they made a joint red-carpet appearance at the 2025 Academy Museum Gala, coordinating black outfits and radiating shared joy. Hindustan Times
What this means moving forward
For Selena Gomez, this moment represents both a personal and professional pivot: her transition from pop star/actress into a more holistic public persona — one where her personal life, artistry and activism (through her beauty brand and advocacy) are woven together. For Benny Blanco, his shift from behind-the-scenes producer to front-and-center creative partner marks a new dimension in his career.
The marriage and the album also have ripple effects: they reshape fan perceptions, open new musical modes (a real-life couple creating art together), and signal potential future ventures — whether in music, joint brand-work or other creative enterprises.
Closing thoughts
When two forces of pop culture come together like this, the results are rarely just about marriage or career; they become about narrative. Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco haven’t just shared a relationship or launched an album — they’ve written a chapter in which their lives, love, art and public image converge. On September 27, 2025, they stepped into that chapter — United personally, united professionally, and ready for whatever comes next.
