Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially husband and wife after tying the knot in a romantic ceremony.
Gomez revealed the news via Instagram Saturday evening, as she shared a carousel of images from their big day.
The couple’s wedding venue was revealed on September 16 when a source told The Sun the lovebirds would say “I do” at a private estate in Santa Barbara on September 27.
The outlet also reported guests would stay close by at the $3,500-a-night El Encanto hotel throughout the wedding weekend, which was reportedly already booked up for the last weekend of September at the time.
“All the guests will be picked up and driven to the location without knowing their destination ahead of time,” an insider added to the outlet.
“Everyone is so excited despite the mystery, they know it will be an amazing time.”
After the pair’s initial wedding plans were leaked on July 14 — including the guest list, date and location — security became a high priority in planning the special day, especially ensuring the safety of A-lists guests like Taylor Swift.
“Security for Selena’s wedding will be of the utmost importance because not only is she a public figure, many of the guests will be too,” an insider told the Daily Mail later that month.
“She is going back and forth on whether or not to allow people to have their phones as an extra measure of security and privacy, along with the fact that she wants everyone to be present,” the insider added.
Leading up to the highly anticipated nuptials, Gomez and Blanco both had their respective bachelorette and bachelor parties in August.
Gomez hosted her bachelorette party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and was surrounded by her close girlfriends — including longtime pals Racquelle Stevens, Ashley Cook and Courtney Lopez.
Pictures showed the bride-to-be and her besties soaking up the sun on a yacht.
Blanco, for his part, had a bachelor party at a $25,000-a-night villa in Las Vegas, according to TMZ.
The record producer first teased the wedding timeline on July 10, but said he and Gomez were both very busy and had not started planning yet.
“We’re both working on so many things that we hadn’t even had time to get into it, but we’re so excited,” the music producer told Jake Shane on the “Therapuss” podcast. He also insisted their nuptials would be “chill” but “amazing.”
Fans began speculating that Gomez and Blanco were dating when he attended her 31st birthday party in July 2023. They had been acquainted for years thanks to their similar circles in the music industry.
In December 2023, the former Disney Channel star confirmed on Instagram that she had been secretly dating the songwriter for six months.
Responding to a fan account’s Instagram post that stated, “Selena Gomez Seemingly Confirms That She Is in a Relationship,” she commented, “facts.”
Gomez then went on to elaborate on their very serious love in a string of comments, writing that Blanco is “absolutely everything” and “the best thing that’s ever happened” to her.
Once their relationship was made public, the pair could not help but pack on the PDA.
In December 2023, the couple canoodled at Taylor Swift’s 34th birthday celebration. A month later, they were all over each other while sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
The couple revealed that Gomez’s mom originally set them up over a decade before they became engaged.
“It’s actually very difficult to figure out. I was around 16, 17,” Gomez told Interview Magazine in February of how old she was when she first met Blanco.
“And we first had music come out in 2013 or something,” he chimed in before adding, “Her mom set up a meeting between the two of us. This is right when I became big and she wasn’t a singer yet.”
The Rare Beauty founder initially sparked engagement rumors in August 2024 when she posted a mirror selfie with a heart emoji strategically placed over her left ring finger.
However, the pop star confirmed their engagement on Dec. 11, 2024, with a sweet Instagram post.
“forever begins now,” the “Emilia Pérez” star captioned a carousel of photos showing off her diamond sparkler.
Blanco also commented on her post, “hey wait… that’s my wife.”
The “Good for You” singer’s bestie Taylor Swift also chimed in, adding, “yes I will be the flower girl.”
Blanco popped the question with a marquise engagement ring he designed with “special symbols” of their love.
They also bought a Beverly Hills mansion for a whopping $35 million the same month they got engaged. However, the news was kept a secret until February.
The couple, who released a joint album in March, have both shared sentiments about wanting to start a family together.
Blanco revealed that he thinks about having kids with the “Only Murders in The Building” actress “every day,” during an interview on “The Howard Stern Show” in May 2024.
“That’s my next goal, to check the box,” Blanco said of having children. “I have a ton of godkids; I’ve got a ton of nephews. I love being around kids.”
In September 2024, Gomez revealed that she can’t carry her own children due to her medical issues. However, she still wants to be a mom and plans on adopting or having kids via surrogate.
