Selena Gomez can’t wait to say “I do!” The singer & actress, 33, opened up about her upcoming wedding during the August 6 episode of Therapuss with Jake Shane, sharing how thrilled she is to marry fiancé Benny Blanco, 37. The couple got engaged in December 2024 after dating for about a year.
Selena Gomez Says She’s Never Felt More Sure About Marrying Benny Blanco
“I couldn’t be more excited,” Gomez said on the podcast. “I just have never really felt so sure about something.” Though they haven’t started the full planning process yet, Gomez made it clear that her heart is all in.
Wedding Plans Are on Hold—For Now
While Gomez is eager to walk down the aisle, she noted that the couple is currently focused on their careers. “We’re both doing our own personal endeavors,” she explained. “Once that kind of slows down, we’ll get into all the nitty-gritty.”
Blanco, who appeared on the podcast a month earlier, echoed her thoughts. “We’re working on so many things that we hadn’t even had time to get into it,” he said at the time. “But we’re so excited.”
From Studio to Soulmates: How Their Romance Began
Gomez and Blanco originally met in 2019 while collaborating on the track “I Can’t Get Enough.” At the time, the relationship was purely professional, but Gomez confessed that she soon asked Blanco to set her up with “anyone cute.”
In response, Blanco invited her to one of his signature dinner parties with friends. “And the next thing you know, we’re dating,” Gomez said with a smile. As for how quickly things escalated? “He was terrified in the beginning,” she recalled.
“He’s like, ‘It’s work and it’s comedy and people are gonna get mad,’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t give a s—, kiss me.’”
Her Dream Wedding Includes Biscuits & Gravy—Not Cake
As for what their wedding might look like, Gomez already has a few fun details in mind. In a recent interview promoting her beauty brand Rare Beauty, she revealed her favorite dessert for the big day: “Biscuits and gravy,” she said.
While the Only Murders in the Building star isn’t too concerned with having a big wedding cake, she’s open to a small one for tradition’s sake — just so she & Blanco can freeze it. “I’m not looking for a big thing,” she added, keeping the vibe intimate and meaningful.
From low-key vibes to full-on excitement, Selena Gomez is clearly head over heels and ready for forever with Benny Blanco.
